Are $2k Tariff Checks Coming Soon? Why Americans Have Mixed Feelings.

For the last year, Ruby and Nathaniel Jumper have tried saving up for a cross-country move.

The couple living in Mercedes, Texas, decided in January to relocate to Tennessee for better work opportunities and a bigger apartment for their family. But bills, surprise expenses and the high cost of groceries have set them back over and over again.

“It’s been rough, honestly,” said Ruby Jumper, adding that the financial squeeze meant hard decisions this holiday season. "Usually they get three or four gifts," she said, speaking about her three children, ages 17, 11 and 8. "This year they're only going to get one."

Are $2k Tariff Checks Coming Soon? Why Americans Have Mixed Feelings

Christopher Cann, Trevor Hughes, Phaedra Trethan, Eduardo Cuevas, Alysa Guffey and Daniel de Visé, USA TODAY NETWORK Updated Sat, December 20, 2025

For the last year, Ruby and Nathaniel Jumper have tried saving up for a cross-country move.

As the Jumpers stow away money when they can, they're closely watching one idea being floated in Washington: $2,000 rebate checks.

In recent months, President Donald Trump has repeatedly previewed the idea of a tariff dividend that would hand thousands of dollars to lower- and middle-income Americans, paid for by money brought in by his global import taxes.

The idea, which comes as polls show Americans increasingly souring on Trump's handling of the economy, faces longshot odds from bettors, logistical hurdles in Congress and angst from some economists.

Over the 2025 holiday season, USA TODAY Network journalists spoke with holiday shoppers across the country about the prospect of a tariff rebate in 2026 and what $2,000 would mean to them.

For many, the idea stirred thoughts of catching up – of paying bills, of regaining financial security they'd recently lost. Buying gifts, they said, was just another reminder that a dollar doesn't buy what it used to.

"Prices are just exorbitant," said Andrei Thies in Milwaukee, adding that she's buying fewer Christmas gifts than usual for her family.

"The cost of things is just insane."

Will Americans get $2,000 checks in 2026?

Trump has repeatedly floated the rebates as a way to put money in wallets at a time when Americans are struggling with years of cumulative inflation. But the idea, which hasn't been fleshed out into a detailed plan, faces an uncertain future.

Multiple independent reports have concluded that the money collected in tariff revenue won’t be enough to fund sweeping rebate checks.

The nonpartisan Tax Foundation, for example, said the checks would cost the government $279.8 billion to $606.8 billion, depending on who gets them. That’s more than the $158.4 billion the tariffs will generate in 2025, the nonprofit found.

Economists have also raised concerns that the tariff dividend could contribute to a rise in inflation, as the COVID stimulus checks did. And on Capitol Hill, the idea of rebate checks have been met with lukewarm responses, even from some Republicans.

“I think it’s an idea that needs to be fleshed out,” Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Montana, told Politico this month. “We’re $36, $37 trillion in debt. To me, I think our bus is full. If you want to add something, then take something off the bus. That’s just me.”

In a statement, White House spokesperson Kush Desai said, "The Administration is committed to putting the federal government’s historic tariff revenue to good use for the American people."

Trump Plans $2,000 Direct Payments to Americans Using Tariff Revenue Instead of Debt

David Beren Sat, December 20, 2025

On November 9, 2025, President Trump proposed a new round of direct payments to all American taxpayers, similar to those made during COVID. However, this time these paychecks would be funded by tariff revenue, and the plan was for all qualifying Americans to receive $2,000, although high earners would not be eligible, a plan that immediately drew comparisons to pandemic paychecks in 2020 and 2021.

However, the COVID stimulus was a response to a sudden economic collapse, and this proposal would come at a time when the economy is stronger and unemployment, though rising, is still low.

Trump Plans $2,000 Direct Payments to Americans Using Tariff Revenue Instead of Debt

David Beren Sat, December 20, 2025

The political appeal of such a move is pretty obvious, as making a direct payment is easy for all Americans to understand. Better yet, a $2,000 check could immediately help middle- and lower-class households already struggling with rising costs across the board. However, the COVID stimulus was a response to a sudden economic collapse, and this proposal would come at a time when the economy is stronger and unemployment, though rising, is still low.

From COVID Relief to Tariffs: The New $2,000 Stimulus Check Proposal

This $2,000 proposal is very similar to the scenario a few years ago, where you would look at qualifying taxpayers who might be eligible for the $2,000 payment. The exact amount would understandably vary based on both income and household size, while high earners, though it wasn't clear exactly what a high earner would be, would be excluded.

So far, this all seems comparable to the pandemic, but the big difference is how this program would be funded, as the COVID stimulus was deficit-financed, which meant the national debt increased without a specific revenue source to fund it. Alternatively, you would see this $2,000 payment be funded by import duties collected from goods entering the US from countries like China, across Europe, and other trading partners.

As far as the political side of this conversation, it's straightforward in that the Trump Administration can argue that other countries are paying for American stimulus through tariffs and turning trade policy directly into financial relief for hard-working families. This would reframe the conversation around tariffs from a potential economic drag to a benefit.

Speaking of benefits, a $2,000 check is no doubt going to provide relief by helping to pay off credit card debt, build savings, or fund a variety of spending options. If you are a family living paycheck to paycheck, this money can't arrive soon enough, and since it would show up as a direct payment, it would just show up one day.

The CBI is Reducing Circulation of the IQD

The CBI is Reducing Circulation of the IQD

Edu Matrix: 12-21-2025

In a significant development that underscores Iraq’s commitment to economic stability and long-term growth, the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has reported a 5.5% decline in the Iraqi dinar currency supply during the third quarter of 2025.

This reduction, which brought the total currency in circulation down to approximately 99.68 trillion dinars (equivalent to about 76.1 billion US dollars), is being hailed as a positive signal for the Iraqi dinar’s future value and a promising indicator for investors holding IQD assets.

The CBI is Reducing Circulation of the IQD

Edu Matrix: 12-21-2025

At first glance, a contraction in currency supply might seem counterintuitive to growth. However, as experts analyze the implications of this move, it becomes clear that this deliberate action by the CBI is a strategic step towards strengthening the Iraqi economy.

The core rationale behind this decision is rooted in fundamental economic principles: reducing the money supply helps lower inflation and stabilize prices. These are key factors that international investors and financial institutions closely scrutinize when assessing the strength and potential of a currency.

Iraq’s decision to tighten its monetary supply is a clear indication of serious long-term economic planning rather than a short-term political maneuver or speculative hype.

By making the Iraqi dinar scarcer, Iraq is effectively increasing its value potential. This move aligns Iraq’s currency management with best financial practices observed in stable economies such as the US, Eurozone, and UK, where controlling inflation and maintaining currency stability are paramount.

The implications of this development are multifaceted. Firstly, it signifies that Iraq is on the right path to rebuilding its currency’s foundation, a crucial step towards sustainable appreciation and economic stability.

While immediate gains for investors should not be expected, the disciplined monetary approach adopted by the CBI lays the groundwork for the dinar’s eventual revaluation and increased credibility on global markets.

For investors holding IQD assets, this news is particularly significant. It indicates a potential for long-term growth and stability, factors that are essential for informed investment decisions.

The reduction in currency supply, while not an immediate catalyst for rapid appreciation, is a foundational step towards creating a more stable and attractive investment environment.

In conclusion, the CBI’s decision to reduce the Iraqi dinar currency supply is a strategic move that underscores Iraq’s commitment to economic reform and stability.

As the country continues on this path, aligning its monetary policies with international best practices, the potential for the Iraqi dinar to gain strength and credibility on the global stage increases.

Sat. 20 Dec. 2025: BREAKING TIER 4B SIGNALS EMERGE AS EXCHANGE ACTIVITY QUIETLY BUILDS …Ariel on Telegram

Reports are rapidly circulating that Tier 4B currency exchanges may be quietly moving into an active phase across the United States.

Holders of the Iraqi dinar and Vietnamese dong are describing unusual activity inside banks and exchange locations, including private appointment scheduling, brief flashes of live rates on internal terminals, and the sudden introduction of NDA protocols. While no official confirmation has been issued, the consistency of these reports is drawing serious attention.

What separates this moment from past rumor cycles is pattern alignment. Independent sources, unknown to each other and operating in different regions, are reporting the same developments at the same time.

Banks are allegedly preparing private exchanges, redemption centers are said to be on operational alert, and internal systems appear to be recalibrating. This convergence suggests preparation, not coincidence.

Multiple accounts claim participants are being asked to sign strict non disclosure agreements before proceeding. That level of confidentiality would be expected in a sensitive, high impact financial event designed to remain invisible to the public until stability is ensured.

Insiders emphasize that any rollout would be tightly controlled and deliberately quiet.

Additional reports point to redemption centers receiving readiness briefings and internal confirmations.

Temporary rate placeholders and short lived rate flashes inside banking systems are being interpreted as test integrations or dry runs. These signs indicate infrastructure testing rather than a public launch, consistent with a phased deployment model.

Financial observers believe any exchange process would unfold in controlled waves, starting with small groups to avoid disrupting markets. Behind the scenes, test transactions and authentication procedures are reportedly underway, including advanced scanning tools to verify currency legitimacy and prevent fraud.

Caution remains essential. Without official statements or verifiable public data, these developments remain unconfirmed. Skepticism is healthy in this space.

Still, for long time holders watching closely, the alignment of signals, timing, and preparation suggests something is moving. Quietly. Deliberately. And closer than before.

Frank26 Feel good because it's not a secret. Everybody knows. What I find interesting is only a small percentile of the United States of America's population knows about the Iraqi dinar. Only a small percentile. I can't help but to wonder who are the people that have dinars...

Militia Man Iraq's currency revolution...We're going into a different world with the Iraqi dinar and we're going into a different world with the globe. We know we have tokenized currencies that are coming. We've seen executive orders being placed and those things should be taken seriously.

WOW! That is very close...So, we see parliament will begin within the window for the early January CBI target. We also know that the new president of Iraq must then be announced and he will eventually introduce the new prime minister.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

🌱 A Message to Our Currency Holders🌱

If you’ve been holding foreign currency for many years, you were not foolish.
You were not wrong to believe the global financial system would change.

What failed was not your patience — it was the information you were given.

For years, dates, rumors, and personalities replaced facts, structure, and proof. “This week” predictions created cycles of hope and disappointment that were never based on how currencies actually change.

That is not your failure.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Our mission here is different:

• No dates • No rates • No hype • No gurus

Instead, we focus on:
• Verifiable developments • Institutional evidence
• Global financial structure • Where countries actually sit in the process

Currency value changes only come after sovereignty, trade, banking, settlement systems, and fiscal coordination are in place. History and institutions confirm this sequence.

You will see silence. You will see denials. That is not delay — that is discipline.

Protect your identity. Organize your documents. Verify everything.
Never hand your discernment to anyone who cannot show proof.

You deserve truth — not timelines.

How a Currency Really Revalues — The Structure Behind the Shift
Why monetary change follows infrastructure, not speculation

Overview

Currency revaluation is a legal and structural process, not a market event driven by hype or rumors.
Central banks must first establish authority, infrastructure, and asset backing before any meaningful value change occurs.
Markets respond last, once systems, policy, and settlement mechanisms are fully aligned.

Key Developments

Legal authority is foundational, requiring central banks to maintain clear control over monetary policy and exchange-rate regimes.
Modern settlement infrastructure is mandatory, including real-time gross settlement systems and cross-border messaging networks.
Reserves and assets underpin stability, with foreign exchange reserves, gold, commodities, and trade flows supporting any new valuation.
Market structures are adjusted gradually, using managed pegs, controlled floats, or phased liberalization to prevent shock.
Policy signaling precedes price movement, ensuring markets react only after structural readiness is complete.

Why It Matters

Understanding how currencies truly revalue separates systemic reality from speculative narratives. Monetary value changes only after legal authority, settlement capability, asset backing, and market structure are aligned — reinforcing that sustainable currency shifts are engineered processes, not spontaneous events.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Foreign currency holders who understand structural sequencing are better positioned to recognize real monetary change versus noise. Value shifts occur after infrastructure and policy alignment, meaning informed holders can distinguish genuine transitions from premature market speculation.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar: Monetary Infrastructure First
Settlement systems, legal frameworks, and reserves must be established before any currency value adjustment.
Pillar: Controlled Market Transition
Gradual structural alignment prevents volatility while enabling long-term monetary realignment.

This is not just theory — it’s how currencies change value in the real system.

Foundation Before Revaluation: Why Structure Comes First
Silence signals system readiness — not delay

Overview

Currency revaluation cannot occur without legal, technical, and financial foundations fully resolved.
Unresolved ownership claims, broken settlement rails, or unclear authority prevent value movement.
Periods of silence often reflect intensive behind-the-scenes alignment, not inactivity.

Key Developments

Legal and trust frameworks are being finalized, clarifying ownership of land, water, minerals, and sovereign assets.
Legacy payment systems are being replaced, as digital settlement infrastructure undergoes ISO 20022 migration and cross-border testing.
National balance sheets are being restructured, including debt recalibration, asset valuation, and reserve realignment.
Jurisdictional authority is being clarified, ensuring lawful control over monetary policy before repricing occurs.
Compliance and verification processes are advancing quietly, reinforcing systemic credibility ahead of any value adjustment.

Why It Matters

Currency value cannot move on unstable ground. Repricing without verified assets, compliant settlement systems, and clear legal authority would invite systemic risk and loss of confidence. History shows that durable monetary change only follows complete structural readiness.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For currency holders, understanding sequence is protection. Revaluation is the final step — not the beginning. Signals of real progress include trust settlements, asset verification, ISO upgrades, and payment system testing. Recognizing these markers helps distinguish real preparation from speculation.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar: Structural Integrity First
Legal clarity, asset verification, and settlement reliability must precede any currency adjustment.
Pillar: Quiet Completion
The reset advances through compliance and coordination, not public announcements or speculative timelines.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Signs the System Is Ready: How to Recognize Real Monetary Readiness
What preparedness looks like before value can move

Overview

True monetary readiness shows up in systems, not headlines, and is visible only after foundational work is complete.
Technical, legal, and settlement signals emerge quietly once alignment reaches final stages.
Markets react last, after readiness is verified and operational.

Key Developments

Payment systems complete ISO 20022 migrations, enabling structured data, compliance controls, and cross-border interoperability.
RTGS and cross-border settlement testing concludes, confirming real-time clearing and liquidity management.
Central banks finalize reserve positioning, balancing gold, FX, commodities, and trade-backed assets.
Legal authority and jurisdictional clarity are publicly affirmed, removing ambiguity over monetary control.
Trusts, asset registries, and custodial frameworks are validated, enabling tokenization and transparent ownership.
Quiet coordination replaces public messaging, signaling that implementation—not debate—is underway.

Why It Matters

Readiness is not announced—it is observed. When systems are fully aligned, risk is minimized and confidence is restored. These signals confirm that monetary architecture is capable of supporting value at a new level without disruption, speculation, or systemic shock.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Currency holders who understand readiness markers avoid emotional decision-making. Operational signals—such as settlement readiness, asset verification, and reserve alignment—indicate proximity to real change. Awareness protects against misinformation and premature expectations.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar: Operational Completion
Functional settlement, verified assets, and compliant systems confirm that preparation has moved from planning to execution.
Pillar: Market Confidence Restoration
Silent readiness stabilizes expectations and ensures value movement occurs smoothly once triggered.

This is not speculation — it’s how readiness reveals itself in the real system.

What Triggers the Final Shift: When Systems Move From Ready to Live
The precise moment structure becomes value

Overview

The final monetary shift is triggered by system activation, not announcements.
Once global payment infrastructure, legal authority, and reserves are synchronized, execution follows quietly.
Markets respond only after systems are live, compliant, and irreversible.

Key Developments

Global payment systems complete ISO 20022 migration milestones, enabling full interoperability, compliance messaging, and structured data exchange.
RTGS systems move from parallel testing to live-only operation, signaling readiness for real-time settlement at scale.
Cross-border corridors activate synchronized settlement windows, reducing FX risk and settlement delays.
Central banks finalize reserve and liquidity positioning, ensuring balance sheets can support adjusted valuations.
Policy frameworks shift from guidance to execution, allowing settlement, pricing, and valuation mechanisms to function without intervention.
Legacy support systems are retired, confirming that rollback is no longer required.

Why It Matters

The final shift occurs when systems no longer need supervision or explanation. Once payment rails, legal authority, and reserves are aligned and operational, value can move safely. This protects markets from shock, preserves confidence, and ensures stability during transition.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For currency holders, the trigger is not news—it is confirmation. Live settlement, completed migrations, and operational silence indicate that the system is executing as designed. Those watching infrastructure rather than headlines recognize real change when it happens.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar: Execution Over Announcement
The reset finalizes through system activation, not public declarations or speculative timelines.
Pillar: Irreversible Infrastructure
Once global payment rails are live and legacy systems are retired, monetary structure becomes permanent.

This is not a prediction — it’s how the final shift is triggered in the real financial system.

The Difference Between Ready and Irreversible
Why global systems wait to lock execution until rollback is impossible

Overview

Ready means infrastructure, regulations, and reserves are prepared but still reversible.
Irreversible begins only when legacy systems are retired and live execution is exclusive.
Markets do not react to readiness; they react to lock-in.

Key Developments

ISO 20022 migrations reach operational readiness, but global systems still allow limited fallback paths.
RTGS platforms operate in real time, yet some jurisdictions maintain parallel contingency modes.
Cross-border settlement corridors exist, though not all are synchronized into unified execution windows.
Regulatory frameworks are written and aligned, but final legal clarity in key jurisdictions remains pending.
Central bank reserves are positioned, without being forced into live deployment.
Legacy systems remain on standby, preserving reversibility.

Why It Matters

Readiness signals preparation; irreversibility signals commitment. Financial systems only reprice when rollback is no longer supported. Until execution becomes exclusive—without exemptions, extensions, or explanations—markets remain anchored to the old framework. The final shift occurs when structure, law, and liquidity move together with no safety net.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Foreign currency holders are not waiting for headlines—they are watching for permanence. Live-only settlement, retired legacy rails, and legal authority that no longer requires interpretation are the true indicators. Value adjusts when systems must operate forward, not when they can.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar: Exclusivity of Execution
The reset locks when new systems are the only systems permitted to function.

Pillar: Removal of Rollback
Irreversibility is achieved when legacy support is formally retired and cannot be reinstated.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Savaya has stirred controversy through his recent writings, in which he explicitly called for an end to the armed factions and for them to be prevented from participating in the government, as well as issuing warnings to Iraq and cautioning against a return to a "cycle of complications".

Yesterday, Saturday, some armed factions announced their agreement to the call to restrict weapons to the state, and official positions were issued by the Secretary-General of the Imam Ali Brigades, Shibl al-Zaidi, followed by a call from the Secretary-General of the Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq Movement, Qais al-Khazali, as well as the Ansar Allah al-Awfiya faction, in addition to the spokesman for the Sayyid al-Shuhada Brigades.

The head of Iraq’s Supreme Judicial Council, Faiq Zaidan, announced yesterday that armed factions had responded to the call to restrict weapons to the state.

However, Kataib Hezbollah issued a statement rejecting its "disarmament" and affirming that "sovereignty, controlling the security of Iraq, and preventing foreign interference in all its forms are prerequisites for discussing the state's monopoly on weapons. We affirm that our position is consistent with what our religious authorities have stated, whenever that is achieved link

***************

Tishwash: After the prime minister's name was decided, the coordination framework moved to negotiating the government program.

Non-controversial

The atmosphere of the movement within the Coordination Framework, the broader umbrella for Shiite political forces in Parliament, is moving towards a crucial stage, the title of which is agreeing on a name and program for the next Prime Minister

In an attempt to produce a candidate who can manage the next stage and open the door to understanding with the rest of the political forces within the framework of constitutional entitlements and political calming, which seems to have decided on the name of the Prime Minister internally, to move practically to negotiating the government program and its priorities before the official announcement of the candidate.

Salam Al-Zubaidi, a member of the Coordination Framework, confirmed to Baghdad Today that “the intensive meetings and gatherings held by the Framework’s forces are witnessing remarkable progress in viewpoints, and there is a broad understanding on the need to choose a figure capable of managing the next stage efficiently and achieving political and service stability, while taking into account the country’s supreme interest.”

Al-Zubaidi explained that "the discussions are not limited to names only, but also include the government program and executive work priorities, foremost among them improving the economic situation, supporting security and stability, and enhancing public confidence in official institutions, and agreement on these files is proceeding in parallel with the naming file."

According to political data obtained by "Baghdad Today," most of the figures close to the coordinating framework, who appear on political programs on television, confirm in their talks that "the decision has already been made," and that the candidate is a figure from the Middle Euphrates region, a graduate of Baghdad University, and does not provoke a sharp dispute among the main Shiite forces.

These data indicate that the current discussion is focused on the details of the government program, which was likely formulated primarily in agreement with the candidate himself, and that the ongoing dialogues aim to incorporate the observations of the various forces before announcing the final version.

Al-Zubaidi added that "the positive atmosphere prevailing in the dialogues reflects the keenness of all parties to avoid disputes and move towards a genuine consensus that leads to the formation of a strong government capable of facing internal and external challenges, and the next few days may witness an official announcement of the name of the candidate for the premiership."

The member of the coordinating framework concluded by saying that "the current stage requires calming down and clearly prioritizing the logic of dialogue and understanding, and the framework is proceeding with completing the constitutional entitlements in accordance with the legal contexts and in a way that fulfills the aspirations of the citizens."

Three key factional figures broke the scene in the past few hours with similar statements, in which they expressed their readiness to hand over weapons and confine them to the hands of the state, in a move that is read - according to political sources - as one of the signs of paving the way for the new political stage, and an early message of support for the next government and its supposed security program.

The political arena is witnessing intense activity to resolve the issue of forming the new government, amid popular anticipation of the process of choosing the next Prime Minister, and whether he will be able to manage the economic and service crises and reduce the severity of political tension, after previous government experiences marred by disputes and the failure to implement reform programs. link

Can Tokenization Save the Financial System Before it Breaks?

Can Tokenization Save the Financial System Before it Breaks?

Miles Harris: 12-19-2025

The global financial system is facing a mounting stress test, with many experts attributing the turmoil to a debt crisis.

However, a recent video by Miles Harris presents a contrarian view, arguing that the root cause of the problem lies not in debt, but in a shortage of usable collateral.

In this blog post, we’ll dive into the video’s key insights and explore the implications of a collateral-driven financial system.

Can Tokenization Save the Financial System Before it Breaks?

Miles Harris: 12-19-2025

The global financial system is facing a mounting stress test, with many experts attributing the turmoil to a debt crisis.

However, a recent video by Miles Harris presents a contrarian view, arguing that the root cause of the problem lies not in debt, but in a shortage of usable collateral.

In this blog post, we’ll dive into the video’s key insights and explore the implications of a collateral-driven financial system.

Modern finance relies heavily on collateralized balance sheets, repo markets, securities lending, derivatives margining, and wholesale funding.

All these mechanisms require widely accepted, transparently priced, and mobile collateral to function effectively. When collateral circulation falters, lending capacity contracts sharply, causing recurring stress in short-term funding markets. In other words, the smooth functioning of the financial system depends on the availability of high-quality collateral.

Since the 2008 financial crisis, government debt has been the primary form of universal collateral. However, this is proving insufficient due to banks’ balance sheet constraints, regulatory rules, and interest rate risks.

The recent stalling of quantitative tightening (QT) by the Federal Reserve is a case in point. Rather than being a failure of monetary policy, the Fed’s decision to purchase short-term debt is a response to collateral scarcity, aimed at maintaining liquidity and preventing short-term funding markets from seizing up.

The video highlights a global movement towards a unified digital ledger system, promoted by central banks and international organizations like the BIS.

This system would consolidate records of money and financial assets onto shared digital rails, increasing transparency of asset ownership, collateral pledging, and usage.

Tokenization, the process of converting real-world assets into standardized digital claims, is a critical innovation that could unlock vast pools of currently illiquid assets, like real estate, for lending.

The European Commission’s recent policy moves, such as build-to-rent housing schemes, are practical examples of expanding collateral bases through tokenization-friendly assets.

Infrastructure providers like the DTCC are already engaging with tokenized collateral frameworks, signaling that the transition is not theoretical but an active redesign of financial plumbing.

While the new system is not yet ready, policymakers must rely on temporary bridges like balance sheet expansions, liquidity facilities, and regulatory flexibility to keep the system afloat in the short term.

The success of tokenization and unified ledgers depends heavily on timing; premature tightening risks systemic shocks, while delayed implementation prolongs fragility.

Understanding the dynamics of a collateral-driven financial system is crucial for preserving and growing wealth in the coming years.

Those who anticipate and adapt to the transition towards a tokenized, unified ledger-based financial system will be better positioned to navigate future crises and opportunities.

In conclusion, the video by Miles Harris offers a compelling narrative that challenges the conventional wisdom on global financial stress.

By recognizing the critical role of collateral in modern finance and the limitations of government debt as collateral, we can better understand the underlying drivers of financial stress. As the world moves towards a tokenized and unified ledger-based financial system, it’s essential to stay informed and adapt to the changing landscape.

Why Power Decentralization and Monetary Sovereignty are Prudent, Valuable, and De-Risking

Rob Cunningham: Why Power Decentralization and Monetary Sovereignty are Prudent, Valuable, and De-Risking

12-19-2025

Rob Cunningham | KUWL.show @KuwlShow

XRPL Design: 100% Biblical Protocol

Why Power Decentralization & Monetary Sovereignty Are Prudent, Valuable, and De-Risking

1. Proximity to Creation Increases Truth

Wealth is not printed—it is created through human creativity, labor, risk, stewardship, and exchange.

When monetary authority is closest to:
producers,
builders,
innovators,
families and communities,

…it remains anchored to reality.

Distance from the source of value invites:
abstraction,
opacity,
narrative manipulation,
and eventually fraud.

“A false balance is abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is His delight.” – Proverbs 11:1

Decentralization restores just weights and measures.

2. Centralization Concentrates Risk; Decentralization Distributes It

Centralized monetary systems create:
single points of failure,
moral hazard,
“too big to fail” extortion,
and systemic fragility disguised as sophistication.

Decentralized systems:
compartmentalize failure,
localize consequences,
prevent cascading collapse,
and reward prudence over leverage.

This is not theory – it is risk engineering 101.

Nature itself decentralizes:

ecosystems,
nervous systems,
supply chains,
energy flows.

Centralized control violates the design pattern of Creation.

3. Sovereignty Restores Consent

All legitimate authority – spiritual, legal, or economic – requires free will and mutual consent.

Centralized monetary regimes rely on:

coercion,
debt
inflationary theft,
regulatory capture,
and narrative intimidation.

Decentralized monetary authority restores:

voluntary exchange,
transparent rules,
auditable truth,

“You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” – John 8:32

Truth cannot survive inside systems that require secrecy to function.

4. Extraction Models Depend on Deception

Wealth extraction at scale requires:

complexity that obscures accountability,
intermediaries with asymmetric information,
experts who claim exclusive understanding,
and fear-based compliance.

This is why centralized financial systems:

resist transparency,
punish disintermediation,
demonize sovereignty,
and attack decentralization as “dangerous.”

Decentralization is dangerous – to parasites.

5. Decentralization Aligns Incentives with Stewardship

When authority is localized:

decision-makers bear consequences,
rewards follow contribution,
long-term thinking replaces quarterly looting.

Centralized regimes reward:

short-term extraction,
leverage without responsibility,
socialized losses,
privatized gains.

That is not capitalism.
That is institutionalized theft with paperwork.

6. Geopolitical Control Requires Monetary Centralization

Empires are built on:

currency control,
debt dominance,
trade settlement coercion,
and reserve privilege.

Decentralized monetary sovereignty:

dissolves financial imperialism,
neutralizes sanction warfare,
reduces incentive for kinetic conflict,
restores peaceful trade.

Peace is not enforced by force.
Peace emerges when economic injustice loses leverage

7. De-Risking Humanity Itself

Centralized monetary power has historically produced:

mass poverty cycles,
boom-bust instability,
wars,
famines,
societal collapse.

Decentralization:

increases resilience,
empowers families and communities,
restores dignity,
and limits the blast radius of bad actors.

This is not anti-expert.
It is anti-unaccountable authority.

Bottom Line (Plain Truth)

Centralized monetary power:

concentrates control,
magnifies deception,
extracts wealth,
and enslaves through debt.

Decentralized monetary sovereignty:

restores consent,
distributes risk,
aligns with creation,
and honors human dignity.

God decentralized authority.
Tyrants centralize it.
History records the outcome every time.

This is not rebellion.
It is restoration.

Goods and services expansion underscores resilience amid global restructuring

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Global Trade Set to Break Records in 2025 as Flows Surge Past $35 Trillion
Goods and services expansion underscores resilience amid global restructuring

Overview

Global trade in goods and services is on track to exceed $35 trillion in 2025, marking the highest level on record.
Trade flows are expected to rise by approximately $2.2 trillion, or 7%, compared with 2024, reflecting continued expansion through the second half of the year.
Services trade is growing faster than goods, highlighting structural shifts in global commerce.

Key Developments

Trade in goods is projected to contribute roughly $1.5 trillion to overall growth, supported by resilient supply chains and continued demand.
Services trade is expected to expand by about $750 billion, nearly 9%, reinforcing its rising importance in global trade flows.
UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) forecasts continued growth into the fourth quarter of 2025, though at a slower pace.
Quarterly growth is expected to moderate to 0.5% for goods and 2% for services, signaling stabilization rather than contraction.
The sustained expansion reflects adaptive trade networks, even as geopolitical fragmentation and policy realignment persist.

Why It Matters

Record-breaking global trade levels suggest that despite geopolitical tensions, sanctions, and supply chain reconfiguration, the global economy continues to function through diversified trade corridors. This resilience supports economic activity but also masks underlying shifts in trade settlement, currency use, and regional alignment.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

As trade volumes expand, currency demand increasingly follows trade settlement preferences rather than legacy reserve norms. Growth in services and diversified trade routes may accelerate the use of non-dollar currencies, increasing volatility and repricing risk for foreign currency holders tied to traditional trade settlement systems.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar: Trade System Resilience
Record trade volumes demonstrate that global commerce is adapting rather than collapsing, even as structures are redesigned.
Pillar: Currency Realignment
Expanding trade flows create pressure for alternative settlement mechanisms and regional currency usage beyond the dollar-centric system.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Industrial Metals Rally on Tight Supply and Demand Dynamics

Copper near record highs underpins bullish industrial metals narrative

Overview

Copper prices are trading within striking distance of all-time highs amid renewed tight supply concerns and structural demand growth. Benchmark copper on the London Metal Exchange rose to about $11,837 per ton, approaching the record $11,952 level set recently.
Bullish outlook persists even as the U.S. dollar strengthens slightly, with week-to-date gains and continued year-to-date strength (up ~35% in 2025).

Key Developments

Analysts from Goldman Sachs highlighted unique supply constraints as a core driver of the rally and reiterated long-term structural demand, citing copper as a favored industrial metal.
Aluminium reached multi-year highs, supported by both energy transition and infrastructure demand, while other base metals including tin and lead saw upward pressure.
Nickel prices climbed modestly after Indonesia proposed output cuts, tightening markets for battery and alloy metals.
A stronger U.S. dollar capped further gains, highlighting currency dynamics in commodity pricing.

Why It Matters

Copper’s sustained rally signals deeper shifts in global industrial demand — particularly for electrification, renewable infrastructure, and data-center capacity — while constrained mine supply underscores structural inflexibility in raw materials that are critical to the energy transition.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Rising real asset prices like copper often reflect weakening confidence in fiat currencies, driving investors toward tangible commodities. For holders of foreign currencies, such strength can signal inflation hedging behavior and reallocation of capital into hard assets.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar: Transition-Asset Realignment
Surge in critical industrial metals reflects fundamental rebalancing towards energy transition priorities and infrastructure buildout.
Pillar: Monetary Risk Hedging
Persistent metals strength amidst currency dynamics highlights deepening investor preference for real assets over sovereign debt.

This is not just markets — it’s structural demand shaping future global capital flows.

Fed Withdraws Crypto Banking Ban, Opening Door for Digital Asset Innovation
Regulatory shift empowers state-chartered banks to engage with digital asset services

Overview

The U.S. Federal Reserve Board has officially withdrawn its 2023 policy statement that restricted state-chartered banks from engaging in certain cryptocurrency and innovative banking activities. The action marks a significant pivot toward enabling responsible financial innovation.
The withdrawn guidance had effectively limited state member banks, including uninsured banks, by tying them to the same narrow activity set as national banks.
The new policy framework creates a pathway for both insured and uninsured state-supervised banks to pursue novel activities — including digital asset services — so long as they satisfy supervisory and risk-management standards.

Key Developments

The 2023 policy statement — rescinded in December 2025 — had been viewed as a de facto barrier to crypto-related services by state-chartered banks, including payments, stablecoin support, and brokerage functions.
Under the new framework, state member banks may seek approval to offer innovative activities not previously permissible, provided they meet safety and soundness requirements.
Uninsured state banks particularly benefit, as the previous regime limited their access to Federal Reserve membership and payment infrastructure.
The Board’s shift reflects an evolved understanding of financial technologies and a desire to balance innovation with systemic stability.
Industry leaders have framed the move as a major regulatory pivot that could expand institutional participation in digital assets through the regulated banking system.

Why It Matters

This withdrawal of restrictive guidance signals a meaningful shift in the U.S. central bank’s approach to digital finance. By carving out an explicit route for state-chartered banks to engage in digital asset activities, the Fed is potentially integrating blockchain-based services more directly into the regulated financial system — a move that could reshape market structure and institutional participation in crypto-related markets.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

The integration of digital asset capabilities into mainstream banking has implications for currency holders globally. As traditional financial institutions begin to support crypto and tokenized services under regulated frameworks, demand patterns for alternative settlement mechanisms, cross-border payments, and digital liquidity pools may evolve, pressuring established currency systems and reserve assets.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar: Regulatory Integration of Digital Finance
Enabling banks to engage in digital asset services under supervision bridges the divide between traditional finance and emerging technologies.
Pillar: Financial System Evolution
The policy shift accelerates the normalization of digital asset markets within regulated banking systems, potentially influencing global capital flows and monetary treatment of crypto-based instruments.

This is not just policy — it’s the structural integration of digital finance into the global banking architecture.

EV Metals Complex Under Strain as Battery Materials Lose Charge

Oversupply and tech shifts reshape metals trade and supply chains

Overview

Battery metals like lithium, nickel and cobalt are facing a third consecutive difficult year despite strong EV adoption, as oversupply and shifting battery chemistries weigh on prices and demand.
EV sales rose ~21% year-over-year, yet not all metals are benefiting equally due to evolving battery technology preferences.

Key Developments

Chinese companies advancing LFP and sodium-ion battery tech are displacing traditional nickel-cobalt chemistries, reducing demand pressures for those metals.
Nickel and cobalt markets are oversupplied, with elevated LME warehouse stocks and lagging demand growth compared to early-cycle forecasts.
Lithium remains dominant but is facing emerging competition from new chemistries, challenging traditional demand assumptions.
Copper and aluminum stand out as enduring winners, vital for wiring, infrastructure and vehicle construction even as battery mix shifts.

Why It Matters

The disconnect between EV sales momentum and lagging battery-metal pricing highlights how technological shifts and supply imbalances are redefining commodity demand patterns, with implications for producers, national export strategies and capital allocation.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Oversupplied metal markets amid evolving demand can temper inflationary pressures on input costs while signaling deeper structural shifts in trade flows for critical minerals — influencing currency valuations in commodity-dependent economies.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar: Strategic Resource Realignment
Technology-driven demand patterns force a rethinking of mineral investment and supply chain strategies globally.
Pillar: Trade Flow Reconfiguration
Oversupply in traditional battery metals may redirect flows toward alternative critical commodities and produce new geopolitical dependencies.

This is not just technology — it’s a new blueprint for industrial commodities in a post-transition economy.
