Will The Dinar Revalue This Summer ?

Will The Dinar Revalue This Summer ?

The Dinar Den:  6-29-2026

In the complex world of exotic currency investment, few assets have garnered as much long-term interest as the Iraqi Dinar (IQD) and the Vietnamese Dong (VND).

Recently, Stephen and Guy, two seasoned veterans of the “Dinar Den” with over a decade of experience, shared a comprehensive update regarding the shifting economic landscape in Iraq. Their discussion points to a significant acceleration in political and financial reforms, suggesting that the nation is positioning itself for a major shift in its global economic standing.

One of the primary catalysts for the current optimism among investors is the aggressive push for internal reform within the Iraqi government. Stephen and Guy highlight the appointment of a new Central Bank governor specifically tasked with an anti-corruption mandate.

This shift in leadership has been accompanied by high-profile arrests of corrupt officials, signaling a “cleaning of the house” that is necessary for Iraq to integrate more fully into the international financial system. By addressing systemic graft, the Iraqi government is building the transparency and credibility required to attract foreign investment and stabilize its domestic economy.

A critical piece of the puzzle discussed in the video is the long-awaited Hydrocarbon Law (HCL). This legislative action is pivotal because it dictates how Iraq’s massive oil revenues are distributed among its various regions and provinces.

For investors, the imminence of the HCL is a major indicator of progress. Stephen and Guy emphasize that the finalization of this law would signify a stabilized internal agreement on the country’s most valuable resource, potentially acting as a precursor to a revaluation (RV) of the currency. The movement on this front suggests that Iraq is moving past legislative gridlock and toward a unified economic policy.

Beyond internal politics, the video explores Iraq’s strategic position in a turbulent region. The ongoing complexities regarding regional stability and the influence of neighboring countries like Iran play a significant role in the timing of economic shifts.

 Stephen and Guy discuss how Iraq is leveraging its unique geopolitical position to capitalize on broader global needs for liquidity and energy security. They touch upon themes of wealth and power, suggesting that the integration of the Iraqi Dinar into the global market is not just a local event but part of a larger, evolving financial narrative that many observers believe is a matter of “when,” not “if.”

Perhaps the most valuable portion of the discussion for current holders of the Dinar is the focus on preparation and strategy. Stephen and Guy stress that if a revaluation occurs, the “how” of the exit strategy is just as important as the event itself.

 They advise investors to remain grounded and avoid impulsive decisions. This includes practical steps such as seeking out reputable local banks rather than high-fee currency exchange venues and learning how to negotiate rates effectively. By planning strategically now, investors can avoid costly mistakes and ensure they manage their assets with a focus on long-term stability.

The overarching message from the Dinar Den is one of cautious optimism backed by due diligence. While the news coming out of Iraq is increasingly reliable and frequent, the hosts remind their audience to stay informed and rely on verified intelligence. The transformation of a national economy is a massive undertaking, and while the signs of an approaching RV are compelling, the importance of patience and strategic planning cannot be overstated.

For those looking to dive deeper into the specific intelligence and geopolitical analysis shared by Stephen and Guy, the full video is available on The Dinar Den YouTube channel. It serves as a vital resource for anyone looking to understand the intersection of Iraqi politics, global finance, and the potential future of exotic currencies.

BlackRock, Coinbase, Ripple & Mastercard Launch Open Standard OUSD Stablecoin Initiative

Major financial and crypto firms are partnering to introduce a new open-governance U.S. dollar stablecoin designed to lower costs, expand adoption, and reshape digital payments.

Overview

• BlackRock, Coinbase, Ripple, Mastercard, and other financial firms have joined forces to launch the Open Standard OUSD stablecoin later this year.

• The initiative introduces collaborative governance, allowing participating firms to share reserve earnings while eliminating minting and redemption fees.

• The project aims to accelerate global stablecoin adoption by creating a more open, business-friendly payment infrastructure.

Key Developments

1. Major Financial Leaders Unite Behind OUSD

A coalition including BlackRock, Coinbase, Ripple, Mastercard, and several additional financial institutions announced the creation of the Open Standard (OUSD) stablecoin.

Unlike many existing stablecoins, OUSD is designed as an open governance platform, giving participating organizations a direct role in managing the ecosystem.

2. Zero-Cost Minting and Redemption

One of the project's most significant features is the elimination of fees and artificial volume limits for minting and redeeming OUSD.

Developers say removing these barriers should make the stablecoin more attractive for businesses handling large transaction volumes.

3. Reserve Earnings Shared Among Partners

Rather than concentrating reserve income with a single issuer, participating organizations will receive the earnings generated from reserve assets, minus a modest operational management fee.

Supporters believe this creates stronger incentives for collaboration while encouraging broader institutional participation.

4. Collaborative Governance Model

The Open Standard board will include participating partners who will collectively oversee major decisions regarding the stablecoin's future development.

Developers say this governance model provides greater transparency and reduces dependence on a single company controlling the ecosystem.

5. Launch Planned on Multiple Blockchain Networks

OUSD is expected to launch later this year on several Layer-1 blockchains, including Solana and Tempo.

Solana has already confirmed that OUSD will launch natively on its network, highlighting decentralized governance and fee-free issuance.

Why It Matters

Stablecoins are rapidly becoming one of the fastest-growing segments of digital finance. By bringing together traditional financial institutions and leading blockchain companies, the OUSD initiative seeks to create a more efficient payment infrastructure that lowers costs while expanding institutional participation in tokenized finance.

If widely adopted, the project could accelerate the use of stablecoins in global payments, settlement, treasury management, and digital commerce.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

The continued expansion of regulated stablecoins demonstrates how digital dollar infrastructure is becoming increasingly integrated into global finance. While this does not directly affect foreign currency revaluations, it highlights the growing modernization of payment systems that could eventually support faster international settlements and greater financial interoperability.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 – Debt

The expansion of stablecoin infrastructure may improve payment efficiency and lower transaction costs, supporting more modern financial systems and reducing settlement friction.

• Pillar 2 – Trade

Digital dollar settlement could accelerate cross-border commerce by enabling faster, lower-cost international payments for businesses worldwide.

• Pillar 3 – Assets

Institutional participation by major asset managers and financial firms reflects growing acceptance of tokenized financial assets and blockchain-based settlement systems.

• Pillar 4 – Technology

The OUSD initiative highlights continued investment in blockchain infrastructure, tokenization, decentralized governance, and programmable digital payments.

• Pillar 5 – Energy

Although not directly focused on energy markets, more efficient digital payment systems can support global trade networks that finance energy transactions and commodity markets.

Looking Ahead

The success of OUSD will largely depend on business adoption, regulatory developments, and participation from additional financial institutions. If the open-governance model proves successful, it could encourage broader collaboration between traditional finance and the digital asset industry while accelerating the evolution of tokenized payment systems.

This is not just about launching another stablecoin—it reflects the accelerating transformation of global finance as traditional institutions and blockchain networks work together to build the next generation of digital payment infrastructure.

Ariel: The Preconditions and Prerequisites

Ariel: The Preconditions and Prerequisites

6-30-2026

Here Is What Is Happening Under The Radar:

The Preconditions & Prerequisites (What To Look For)

The U.S. side quietly made clear no clean HCL progress, no major investment package or continued military/intel support.

Zaidi’s team fast-tracked the anti-corruption raids as the visible “good faith” move. The militancies(?) are theater for D.C. cameras while the real work (HCL final language on revenue sharing and field management) gets hammered out behind closed doors in the next 10 days.

(Meeting Tomorrow) Expect a quiet parliamentary “breakthrough” announcement right before the flight to D.C.

This is why the currency strengthening is prerequisite the Washington wants to see reserves defended and corruption optics cleaned before they sign off on anything that looks like full economic normalization.

Maliki’s Real Pressure Point:

His health rumors are cover. The real heat is financial his network’s exposure in the oil smuggling probes. If one more high-profile arrest links back to his Coordination Framework remnants, he’ll have a sudden “medical emergency” flight. Tehran is already prepping extraction options. This is the U.S. warning shot: old Iran-aligned nodes are being pruned before the Washington meeting so Zaidi arrives with a cleaner slate.

The ledger is tightening exactly as planned. Zaidi is delivering the visible wins Trump needs for the mid-July photo-op and package. Watch for more arrest announcements this week, HCL language leaks, and any sudden gold custody or auction reform drops. Those are the tells that the prerequisite box is checked.

The game is moving. The old players feel it in their wallets and their escape routes. Stay locked on the operational signals, not the rumor noise. The reset is structural, and it’s landing.

Many people do not know this but even before the guru phenomenon some military veterans will tell you that even so far back to around April 2003 to 2004 the Army Finance gave classes on the Iraqi Dinar.

The CPA, working closely with Army Finance Corps officers, orchestrated a massive currency exchange program to introduce a new, unified Iraqi dinar.

This ran from October 15, 2003, to January 15, 2004. Troops and finance personnel had to be briefed on quite a few things.

• Like handling and distributing the new notes (printed abroad and shipped in massive quantities).

• Or Paying Iraqi government salaries and pensions (initially in U.S. dollars from seized S****m funds, then transitioning to new dinars).

• And auditing banks, securing vaults, and managing the logistics of exchanging old “S****m” dinars for the new currency.

• Basic currency recognition to prevent fraud during the swap. Something that will be happening soon for Iraqi citizens internally.

Finance units acted as de facto bankers in provinces, resuscitating looted institutions, transporting currency, and educating troops on the new system. So where does that bring us today?

Well the current push (digital rails, anti-corruption sweeps, gold backing, HCL progress) is the adult version of that 2003 effort. Cleaning the books so a stronger, sovereign dinar can actually work in a multipolar world.

The old CBI denials were damage control. The new team is executing cleanup. Kuwait holders who got positioned right under restoration conditions changed their lives. Iraq’s version is messier and slower, but the structural pieces are falling into place.

Do you know how tone deaf you have to be to continue to deny this investment when D. Trump’s former trade chief Robert Lighthizer said it is wise to devalue the US dollar so it would be easier for Iraq to pair it at 1:1? Isn’t that the even playing field POTUS has been talking about over the past 10 years?

Why do you think Donald Trump recently said he was happy that we had a weak US dollar abs that it was great for America?

https://npr.org/2026/01/30/nx-s1-5693025/trump-dollar-economy-markets

I literally have the article of Politico back in 2024 using the phrase currency revaluation before D. Trump even took office.

Think I’m just guessing?

China Launches New Gold Currency to Change the Dollar Forever

China Launches New Gold Currency to Change the Dollar Forever

Cyrus Janssen:  6-30-2026

The landscape of global finance is currently undergoing a structural transformation. For decades, the US dollar has served as the world’s primary reserve and trade currency, acting as the bedrock of international commerce.

However, recent economic data and geopolitical developments suggest a significant shift is underway. Over the last six years, the US dollar has experienced a decline in purchasing power, leading to increased scrutiny and caution among international markets.

This loss of confidence has been highlighted by recent events in the Middle East, which have underscored the vulnerabilities inherent in a system heavily reliant on dollar-denominated assets.

China is actively positioning itself within this changing environment by promoting its digital currency, the renminbi (RMB), and anchoring its value with physical gold.

By amassing significant gold reserves—now totaling over 2,300 tons—China is signaling a return to the principles of a gold-backed monetary system, reminiscent of the mid-20th-century Bretton Woods era.

 The recent success of the digital RMB platform, which processed over $180 billion in a single day, demonstrates that international adoption is growing beyond the traditional Western financial orbit.

Prominent financial analysts, including Peter Schiff and Michael Howell, suggest that a broader trend of “dedollarization” is taking hold among global central banks. Schiff notes that the decision to freeze foreign assets in 2022 served as a wake-up call for nations, forcing them to re-evaluate the safety and accessibility of dollar-based holdings.

Meanwhile, Howell points out that by utilizing gold, China is effectively bypassing the limitations of its own bond market credibility, using a universally recognized asset to facilitate international trade. This new financial infrastructure, including a growing gold-clearing system in Hong Kong, allows nations to conduct settlements outside the traditional reach of US-led sanctions.

This movement is further supported by the growing influence of the BRICS alliance, as central banks worldwide continue to purchase over a thousand metric tons of gold annually. Shannon Davis, CEO of American Alternative Assets, highlights that this is a long-term strategic pivot rather than a passing trend.

Given the current global debt levels, which have climbed significantly, experts like Davis suggest that investors should take a critical look at their portfolios. As history has shown, physical precious metals have often acted as a vital hedge during periods of economic instability and inflationary pressure.

For individual investors, the message is clear: diversification is essential in an era of heightened geopolitical volatility. Many are looking toward self-directed IRAs and the inclusion of physical gold and silver as a means to balance their portfolios against potential currency fluctuations.

As the global monetary architecture shifts, staying informed is the first step toward financial resilience. For those looking to dive deeper into these strategies, resources such as the comprehensive gold investment report from American Alternative Assets provide a roadmap for navigating this complex economic landscape.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR Update as of Tues. 30 June 2026

Compiled Tues. 30 June 2026 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Judy Note: Welcome to the Golden Age of America. Do not panic when the system goes offline. It would be done in literal preparation for the Greatest Wealth Transfer and Liberation in Human History.

To save America Trump was mega Chess Moves ahead and formed the Global Military Alliance to work with the BRICS nations and do a gold/asset-backed Global Currency Reset of 209 nations, take back the money supply and give it back to The People.

Contacts inside the Treasury Department say that what’s happening right now with the Global Currency Reset was the biggest financial restructuring since 1913.

Trump (allegedly) knew everything before he ran for office. That’s why he’s been talking about the Federal Reserve. That’s why he’s been pushing for audits.

On 5 July 2026 Trump, as part of America’s massive 250 Year Celebration, was (allegedly) preparing to make a financial announcement that would change the World: a complete restructuring of the global financial system.

The NESARA/GESARA protocols were being activated. The gold-backed currency was on it’s way.

That very collapse was(allegedly)  occurring this week with the downfall of the fiat currency SWIFT System. As of Sun. 28 June 2026 all financial messages could no longer go through the fiat currency SWIFT system. They must (allegedly) be sent in the gold/asset-backed ISO 20022 format of the new Global Quantum Financial System. This impacted over 11,000 banks in over 200 countries and $5-$7 Trillion transactions every day.

On that same Sunday 28 June 2026 we (allegedly) saw full implementation of the Global Currency Reset of 209 nations to gold/asset-backed currency that traded at a 1:1 to each other.

Starlink, which was managed by the United States Space Force, will (allegedly) eliminate outdated infrastructures, providing us with the long awaited gold/asset-backed currency in the new Quantum financial system.

BySat 17 April the Military RV Security teams and Quantum Financial System tech personnel had (allegedly) revamped the London financial and Forex system.

SinceMon. 19 April Market opening all international markets, including the US Stock Market and Dollar Index, were in the red and imploding, although at times the figures snuck up to green.

Global Currency Reset:

Judy Note: No one knows the exact date for notification of appointments for Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) to exchange foreign currencies, but deadlines shown in the above Timing indicate it to be very soon. We have been told that Wells Fargo, which is controlled by the Chinese Elders – (the ones who own the gold behind the Global Currency Reset) – will send out emails to currency and bond holders worldwide telling them how to set redemption & exchange appointments. It is advised to exchange/redeem your foreign currency at an official Redemption Center (RC) rather than a bank. You can only (allegedly) redeem Zim at a RC, the Dinar Contract Rate can only(allegedly)  be given at a RC and banks will (allegedly) offer you lower exchange rates than what you can obtain at a RC. You can only (allegedly) set up your new wallet (bank account) at a RC. It was my understanding that most banks were under control of the Cabal and would soon play a different role in the Global Financial System.

US-Iran Peace Prospects Face Uncertainty as Qatar Diplomacy Continues

Conflicting signals from Washington and Tehran raise new questions about whether a temporary ceasefire can evolve into a lasting peace agreement.

Overview

• Diplomatic uncertainty surrounds planned meetings in Qatar, with conflicting reports about whether direct U.S.-Iran negotiations will occur.

• The fragile ceasefire remains under pressure following recent military exchanges despite ongoing diplomatic efforts.

• Global markets continue watching developments closely because of their impact on oil supplies, the Strait of Hormuz, and regional stability.

Key Developments

1. Conflicting Diplomatic Signals

Senior U.S. officials are expected in Doha, while Iranian representatives have also traveled to Qatar. However, Iranian officials insist that no direct negotiations are scheduled, creating uncertainty over whether meaningful peace talks will actually occur.

2. Ceasefire Faces Continued Pressure

Although both governments publicly support diplomacy, recent missile and drone incidents demonstrate how quickly military tensions can threaten the interim agreement. Analysts say confidence-building measures remain limited, making the ceasefire vulnerable to future escalation.

3. Strait of Hormuz Remains a Central Issue

The Strait of Hormuz continues to dominate negotiations because it carries roughly one-fifth of the world's seaborne oil trade. Discussions continue over maritime security and navigation as shipping companies seek greater certainty after months of disruption.

4. Nuclear Negotiations Still Represent the Biggest Challenge

While reducing military tensions remains the immediate priority, Iran's nuclear program remains the largest obstacle to any comprehensive peace agreement. Future negotiations are expected to focus heavily on inspection arrangements and long-term compliance mechanisms.

5. Regional Stability Depends on Broader Agreements

The negotiations extend well beyond U.S.-Iran relations. Conflicts involving Israel, Hezbollah, and Lebanon remain closely linked, meaning progress on one front could influence stability across the broader Middle East.

6. Markets Respond Cautiously

Financial markets have welcomed reduced military activity, with oil prices easing as traders anticipate more stable Gulf energy exports. However, investors remain cautious because any breakdown in diplomacy could quickly reverse those gains.

Why It Matters

The current diplomatic effort represents an important opportunity to reduce one of the world's most significant geopolitical risks. A durable agreement would strengthen energy security, stabilize international shipping routes, and reduce volatility across global commodity and financial markets.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Foreign currency holders should continue monitoring these negotiations because geopolitical stability directly influences global financial markets, inflation, energy prices, and central bank policy. A sustained reduction in Middle East tensions could support greater market confidence, while renewed conflict could strengthen demand for safe-haven assets and delay broader financial reforms.

Implications for the Global Reset

1. Pillar 1 – Debt

Lower energy prices could help reduce inflationary pressures, easing borrowing costs for governments, businesses, and consumers while improving fiscal stability.

• Pillar 2 – Trade

A secure Strait of Hormuz supports uninterrupted global shipping, strengthens international supply chains, and promotes more stable global trade flows.

• Pillar 3 – Assets

Reduced geopolitical risk may shift investor demand away from traditional safe-haven assets such as gold while improving confidence across equity and currency markets.

• Pillar 4 – Technology

Greater regional stability supports continued investment in digital infrastructure, AI development, cybersecurity, and cross-border financial technologies.

• Pillar 5 – Energy

A lasting peace agreement would strengthen the reliability of global oil and LNG supplies while encouraging long-term investment in diversified energy infrastructure.

Future Outlook

The coming weeks will determine whether diplomatic engagement in Qatar develops into substantive negotiations or remains limited to technical discussions. Maintaining the ceasefire while addressing difficult issues—including Iran's nuclear program and long-term Gulf security—will be essential for any lasting agreement.

Even if direct negotiations remain limited in the short term, continued diplomatic engagement could reduce the risk of renewed conflict and help normalize shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. However, unresolved political differences and broader regional conflicts suggest that achieving a comprehensive peace agreement will likely remain a gradual and uncertain process.

This is not just about diplomacy—it reflects the broader restructuring of global security, energy markets, and international trade, with lasting implications for financial stability and the evolving global economic order.

The World's Gold Is Quietly Leaving London and New York

The World's Gold Is Quietly Leaving London and New York

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black Sovereign Man} June 29, 2026

In December 1916, with German and Austro-Hungarian armies closing in on Bucharest, the Romanian government made a decision that must have felt entirely sensible at the time.

Romania had gambled its way into the Great War a few months earlier, sending its army across the Carpathian Mountains to grab Austro-Hungarian Transylvania, believing that Germany and Austria-Hungary were too exhausted to stop them.

But Romania’s gamble fell apart in weeks. German and Austro-Hungarian were exhausted. But not so exhausted to allow Romania to waltz across the border and grab territory uncontested.

The Central Powers quickly reacted, beat the Romanian army all the way back to Bucharest, and then converged on the capital. The King of Romania and his court fled the country just before it fell.

Just before surrendering, however, Romania’s Prime Minister Ion Brătianu made a bold decision to seal up the country’s gold reserves. He ordered more than 90 tonnes of gold to be loaded in over 1,700 crates onto seventeen railcars, and had it shipped to the one ally Romania was certain it could trust: Russia.

The arrangement made sense on paper. Tsar Nicholas II was Romania's wartime partner, and an overland route to ship the national gold reserves to Moscow seemed far safer than risking German submarines on the sea route to London.

Fortunately the crates arrived safely; Russian officials locked the gold securely inside the Kremlin and provided a written guarantee that the gold remained Romanian property.

But the Russian Revolution broke out only months later. The Bolsheviks seized power, arrested the Tsar, and eventually murdered him and his family. In January 1918, Leon Trotsky severed ties with Romania and declared its gold "untouchable for the Romanian oligarchy."

It’s been more than a century, and Romania is still asking for its gold back from Russia. The gold is worth ab

ut $12 billion today and has never been returned.

For most of human history, a king kept his gold where he could see it. It sat behind his own walls, in his own keep, guarded by his own men. The idea of loading your treasure onto a ship and sending it to a rival capital for safekeeping would have struck any medieval monarch as total insanity.

The King of France did not store his gold in London. You did not hand a rival your treasury to seize the moment relations soured.

What changed first was London. By the nineteenth century, Britain ruled an empire that spanned the globe. Its navy went unchallenged. And the British pound was redeemable for gold.

The City of London sat at the center of world finance and ran the deepest gold market on earth.

For foreign governments, keeping gold in the Bank of England's vaults was not a surrender but an upgrade. The metal was safer behind Britain's guns than behind its own, and given the advances of British finance, the gold could be sold, lent, or borrowed against in an afternoon.

The gravity of financial power shifted to New York a century later as Nazi forces conquered Europe. Allowing your national gold reserves to be confiscated by Hitler became a much greater risk than shipping everything to America.

So country after country scrambled to move their gold before German tanks crossed the border.

America was the safest vault on earth: a nation with an ocean on either side, an economy the war had only strengthened, and a bright future ahead of it.

After the war, the 1944 Bretton Woods agreement pinned the dollar to gold— and pegged every global currency to the US dollar. And from then on New York (and London to a lesser degree) were the obvious places for foreign governments to hold their gold reserves.

A country could settle international debts without moving a single ounce, just by having a clerk slide its bars from one stack to another within the same vault.

The arrangement held for eighty years because the US remained the most powerful, most trusted government in the world. But now that trust is vanishing quickly.

According to a recent report published by the World Gold Council, the number of foreign central banks storing gold in New York or London slipped 17% and 11% respectively. And that’s just in a single year.

And the number of central banks bringing their gold home (or at least moving it to neutral third-party vaults) nearly tripled. Gold, for the most part, is going home.

They’re also buying more of it, with central bank gold purchases running at roughly double the historic rate for the third year in a row.

To fund those purchases, central banks are selling US Treasuries... or letting them mature without reinvesting.

Over the past year, gold passed both US Treasuries and the euro to become the single largest reserve asset on earth. And for the first time since 1996, central banks now hold more gold than US Treasuries.

Central banks almost never sell gold. On the rare occasion that some country does sell, it’s usually because they’re in a genuine crisis (like Turkey selling gold to defend a collapsing currency).

Or, as was the case with the British government in the late 1990s, they’re the dumbest people alive.

Absent that kind of emergency or stupidity, governments and central banks “hodl” their gold.

Bottom line, these countries are not shipping their gold out of London and New York to sell it. Just the opposite. It is proof they intend to hold the metal for a very long time, and that they are willing to give up using it as a financial instrument.

None of this is about the gold price on any given morning.

Over the last few weeks, gold slipped below $4,000 an ounce for the first time since November.

Since last fall, as retail investors entered the market driving the price of gold sharply higher, we warned that a pullback like this was likely.

But we also said that nothing about the thesis was changing. The US was still spending far beyond its means and weaponizing the dollar. Washington was still dysfunctional— full of AOCs and Elizabeth Warrens. Therefore global central banks were continuing to diversify their reserves.

We’re not fanatical about gold. But it’s clear that the long-term catalysts to drive prices higher are not going away anytime soon.

The world is more fractured than it was even a few years ago, and dollar dominance is slipping.

So what does everyone own instead? China is pushing for international use of its yuan... and you can see a flicker of it in the payments data. But it is not a real alternative.

The one asset every central bank on earth can hold without worrying who controls it is gold. Plus they all have confidence that gold will still have strategic value 5, 10, 20+ years from now.

That’s why these central banks view $4,000 gold as a reasonable entry point to accumulate more, and they likely will not miss the chance to do so.

P.S. The same opportunity is open to everyone else. As gold sold off, so did shares in the companies that dig it out of the ground. Even at gold's all-time highs, many of these producers traded at low multiples while selling their gold for far more than their projections ever assumed.

Their costs stayed roughly fixed, so margins exploded, and some have started paying dividends or raised the ones they had. At $4,000 gold they are still enormously profitable, yet fickle investors are dumping them as if the gold story is over.

It is not. Nothing has changed about why central banks buy, and so far they have moved only a small share of their reserves into gold.

Tishwash:  A politician reveals that the arrest of Al-Sudani and Al-Halbousi has been postponed until the next round of arrests.

The director of the Iraqi Media Center in Washington 

Nizar Haider, revealed on Monday that the arrest warrants for the head of the Progress Alliance, Mohammed al-Halbousi, and former Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani remain in effect and will be executed within the next few days on charges related to corruption and money laundering. 

Haider told Al-Maalomah News Agency that "the Integrity Commission will execute arrest warrants within the next few days against former Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and the head of the Progress Alliance, Mohammed al-Halbousi, for their involvement in stealing huge sums of money and transferring them to foreign banks, in addition to possessing a fortune equivalent to the budgets of some countries." 

He added that "the US Federal Reserve has placed al-Sudani and al-Halbousi at the top of its list of most wanted individuals for their involvement in corruption cases during their tenure in leadership positions in the central government," clarifying that "the arrest of al-Sudani and al-Halbousi has been postponed until the coming days, and what has been rumored about political settlements to cancel the arrest warrants is baseless."

He added that "Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi's office, in coordination with the Counter-Terrorism Service, will pursue those involved in stealing huge sums of money from the country's treasury in hard currency and imprison them to recover the stolen funds."   link

Tishwash:  Al-Zaydi directs the opening of a special account to collect funds "looted" from public property in Iraq

 Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Faleh al- Zaidi has instructed the Minister of Finance to open a special bank account – not for savings, but to recover millions of dollars looted from public assets . This is the first practical step to recover stolen funds through legal proceedings against officials
implicated

in the “ Dawn ” campaign . The Prime Minister ’s legal advisor , Munir Haddad , told Rudaw Media Network : “ Those accused of stealing public funds and plundering the Iraqi state in recent years will be tried and punished according to the Iraqi Penal Code and other relevant laws pertaining to money laundering and crimes against public funds .

The judiciary and the government will not be satisfied with merely recovering the funds ; the government is determined to combat corruption and eradicate corrupt individuals , showing no favoritism to anyone , regardless of their position.”

The scope of arrests in the “Dawn” campaign has widened, and some of the accused officials fled before security forces arrived , but the search for them continues . Badr Alliance MP Noor Adel told Rudaw Media Network : " Unfortunately, today, the highest legislative authority , when you become an MP, makes you subject to questioning , accusation , and..."

Extortion and other such practices— let them clean up all the institutions . We agree that they should start with us first, and God willing , it will reach its end, God willing , there will be a solution, and God willing , the people will see the light.”

The Iraqi government officially announced that the operation would continue, emphasizing that no foreign forces other than Iraqi forces were participating . Operation Dawn is not just a military name ; it is a true test of the rule of law in Iraq, and Iraqis hope that these reforms will target the “ big fish” who operate behind the scenes and not just the “ small fry .”  link

Tishwash:  To combat waste and corruption: The Law for the Protection of Currency Issuance in Iraq

 According to official statements issued by the Central Bank of Iraq, the total volume of Iraqi currency in circulation is 100 trillion dinars. Based on relevant statements and analyses, 70% of this currency is not circulating within the national banking sector (both public and private) and is hoarded by individuals and companies for various purposes.

The presence of cash outside the banking system has numerous negative consequences and risks for the economy. Holding cash is different from saving and hoarding money; its presence in such quantities reduces the money supply and creates an impression of illicit activity.

It also exposes its holders to various risks, including theft, assault, and damage. Furthermore, the existence of unused cash creates an incentive to convert it into other forms, some of which are detrimental. Some resort to converting dinars into foreign currencies, most notably the dollar, which puts undue pressure on demand and leads to higher exchange rates in the parallel market. Others use it for real estate purposes, such as land and buildings, creating high demand and price imbalances.

Cash can also... It is diverted to stagnant and economically unproductive uses such as gold, diamonds, and the acquisition of expensive items like watches and accessories. This encourages the illegal trade of bringing in these goods through outlets outside the authority of the state, which already exist.

The hoarding of cash is not always due to weaknesses in the banking sector. It may stem from a reluctance to disclose the source of the funds deposited. Those who hoard cash can certainly be divided into categories.

The first consists of public and private sector employees with surplus income who haven't found suitable ways to invest it.

The second comprises business owners and investors across various sectors who receive high revenues and profits and prefer to keep all or part of their earnings in cash, believing it to be the safest and most flexible method of investment.

The third category is largely made up of tax evaders who don't want to disclose their wealth and are waiting for an opportunity to convert it into concealed assets. The most dangerous category consists of corrupt individuals, thieves, and those with ill-gotten gains who fear exposure due to the suspicions and questions that such figures raise.

Finally, there is a category of people who cannot publicly disclose their financial dealings because the source of their funds is unknown. Illicit trade in prohibited substances such as drugs and weapons increases the hoarding of money whenever there are pressures, restrictions, or fears to convert it into funds through investments or deposit it outside the country. It is certain that the crises that befell the banks of neighboring countries are related to the increase in hoarding of money within the country.

The issue of hoarding cash is not hidden from any official body. The Central Bank is the one that announces the decrease in the percentage of uncirculated currency issued from time to time. The case of (A.J.), which is expected to be a gateway to revealing corruption, is what stirred people's feelings about the subject, especially after showing scenes and pictures that reveal the hiding of billions in miserable ways and the burning of millions of dollars.

 According to leaks and expectations, there are trillions hidden in various ways in places chosen by cash hoarders. This is a serious and important matter, especially when a percentage of the currency issued is unused or in the possession of thieves and corrupt people, with the possibility of it being damaged when the refuge is burning, burying, or other reactions. All of these things happened and are happening because the authority responsible for currency did not find the appropriate methods to attract and bring that money into local circulation.

Current instructions impose restrictions on the amount that a traveler can take out not exceeding $10,000, with the prohibition of taking out the dinar commission outside of official transfers.

We believe it has become essential for legislative and executive bodies to adopt a draft law (or amend an existing law) accompanied by regulations and instructions aimed at protecting the issuance of currency, without infringing upon personal freedoms and property rights guaranteed by the constitution and laws. This can be achieved through several means and tools.

The first of which is: setting a maximum limit for cash holdings, whereby any natural or legal person is prohibited from holding liquid cash exceeding 100 million dinars or the equivalent of 50,000 US dollars in foreign currencies outside the banking system. Any amount exceeding this must be deposited within six months of the law's enactment.

The second is: restricting transactions to banks and subjecting all sales, purchases, and transfers of goods and services exceeding 10 million dinars to payment through banking channels (check, transfer, card, electronic wallet), making cash payments a violation with penalties.

The third is: activating the "From Where Did You Get This?" law, requiring every depositor with an amount exceeding 50 million dinars to disclose the source of funds, and obligating banks to audit and report any suspected money laundering.

Fourth: Criminalizing the destruction and concealment of currency. Destroying, burning, burying, or concealing the national currency is considered a violation of sovereignty and a crime of economic sabotage, punishable by imprisonment for 5-10 years plus a fine many times the amount.

Fifth: Tax clearance for valuable goods. Purchasing, importing, and trading any commodity or possession exceeding 50 million dinars in value (real estate, car, gold, watches, precious items) requires submitting a tax clearance certificate and payment exclusively through the banking system.

Sixth: Bank transparency. The Central Bank shall require government and private banks to adopt transparent windows for transfer and deposit operations, similar to the dollar sale window, and to publish a weekly report on the volume of major deposits and withdrawals. Seventh: Granting a reward of 5% of the seized amount to anyone who reports illegal cash outside the regulations, with a guarantee of legal immunity for the informant and confidentiality of information. link

Tishwash:  Al-Zaydi: I will not receive a salary and I will not accept a gift... and the employees' salaries are guaranteed.

 Prime Minister Ali Al-Zidi confirmed on Monday that the salaries of state employees are secure and regular, while renewing his pledge not to receive a salary or accept any gift, and announced proceeding with the establishment of an energy and development fund.

Al-Zaydi said in a press statement followed by Al-Furat News that “the salaries of state employees are secured and regular, and we are very keen on this point,” indicating that “the size of the debt at the beginning of the government’s work amounted to about 208 trillion dinars, while the budget depends on oil by 93%, compared to 7% non-oil revenues.”

He added: “I will not receive a salary, nor will I accept a gift, even if it is a necktie, and my hands will not touch public money,” stressing that “the government will direct the Minister of Finance to open a special account to recover Iraq’s money from those who were involved with it, and we will take a different stance with anyone who refuses to return it.”

He pointed out that "the National Sovereignty Conference will be announced at the end of this year, and will enshrine the monopoly of power in the hands of the state and its agencies only," noting that "the government will not run for another term and will not establish a political party, nor will it allow any dictates from outside the borders, neither from the East nor from the West."

Al-Zaidi explained that "his next visits after Washington will be to Türkiye, Iran and Saudi Arabia, in addition to receiving invitations to visit France, Britain and Germany."

On the economic front, Al-Zaydi announced the establishment of the “Energy and Development Fund” with contributions from the Central Bank of Iraq, which will be offered for public subscription. He indicated that the government will extend an invitation to Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, in addition to American and European banks, to contribute to the fund, which will focus on financing development, industry, agriculture, and other sectors.  link

Tishwash:  From markets to screens: How has e-commerce changed Iraqis' consumer habits?

 E-commerce expert Mohammed Salman Al-Amiri confirmed on Monday (June 29, 2026) that Iraq is witnessing a rapid shift in consumption patterns, driven by digital developments and the spread of communication and e-commerce applications, which has changed consumer behavior and methods of purchasing and payment in recent years.

Al-Amiri told Baghdad Today that the great development in digital technologies and the emergence of dozens of electronic applications have provided unprecedented flexibility in communication and exchange of services, which has directly affected the daily lives of Iraqi families, especially in shopping methods and meeting needs.

Online shopping and delivery services are leading the way.

He explained that a large segment of citizens now rely on purchasing their needs through social media platforms and electronic applications, especially in the areas of food, clothing and household appliances, in conjunction with the continuous expansion of delivery services that have become an essential part of commercial activity inside and outside cities.

He added that "delivery" services are no longer limited to residential neighborhoods or city centers, but have expanded to include the transport of goods and orders between governorates through companies and digital platforms that connect stores with consumers directly, noting that the rates of reliance on this type of shopping are recording annual growth ranging between 10 and 25%.

Ready-made meals top consumer priorities

Al-Amiri explained that the demand is no longer focused on traditional goods only, but has increasingly extended to ready-made meals and food, which have become a daily choice for a large number of families, especially families where both spouses work or employees face time constraints.

Continued growth despite the challenges

He pointed out that the digital transformation also included payment methods, with the increasing use of bank cards and electronic financial services, compared to a relative decline in reliance on cash among a segment of citizens, despite the continuation of some concerns related to the security of electronic payments and the previous experiences of some users.

He stressed that market indicators show the continued expansion of e-commerce and digital financial services in the coming years, with expectations of an increase in the number of users who will rely on bank cards and electronic wallets as a primary means of purchasing, saving, and conducting daily transactions.

Over the past decade, Iraq has witnessed a remarkable expansion in the use of the internet and smartphones, which has contributed to the growth of e-commerce, delivery services, and digital payment.

Experts believe that this transformation is reshaping Iraqi consumer behavior and creating new economic opportunities, but it requires developing the digital infrastructure and enhancing confidence in the electronic payment system.  link

Supreme Court Ruling Raises New Questions About Federal Reserve Independence

Two U.S. Supreme Court decisions have preserved the Federal Reserve's independence for now, but legal experts warn that the central bank's protection from political influence now rests on a razor-thin majority that could shift with a future Court.

Overview

• The Supreme Court preserved the Federal Reserve's independence in a narrow 5-4 ruling while broadly expanding presidential authority over most independent federal agencies.

• Legal scholars warn that the Fed's constitutional protections now depend on a single Supreme Court vote.

• The decision introduces new long-term uncertainty for monetary policy, financial markets, and investor confidence.

1. Two Supreme Court Decisions Reshape the Debate

The U.S. Supreme Court issued two significant rulings that together redefine the legal landscape for independent federal agencies.

In a 6-3 decision, the Court ruled that presidents have broader authority to remove leaders of most independent agencies without having to demonstrate cause. However, in a separate 5-4 ruling, the Court carved out an exception for the Federal Reserve, recognizing its unique role in safeguarding monetary stability and insulating it from direct political pressure.

As a result, Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook remains in office, and the Fed's current governance structure remains intact.

2. Why the Margin Matters

According to Harvard Law Professor Noah Feldman, the concern is not the immediate outcome but the narrow margin supporting the Fed's independence.

Because the decision was decided 5-4, a single change in the Court's composition could allow a future challenge to overturn the precedent. Feldman argues that an institution responsible for guiding the world's largest economy should not rely on such a narrow constitutional safeguard.

3. Markets May Watch Future Legal Challenges Closely

The Federal Reserve's credibility depends heavily on its ability to make monetary policy decisions free from political influence.

Although the Court reaffirmed the Fed's special status, investors now face greater uncertainty over how future administrations—or future Supreme Courts—might revisit the issue.

Financial markets generally value central bank independence because it promotes confidence in long-term inflation management, interest rate policy, and overall economic stability.

4. Broader Implications for Financial Markets

The ruling extends beyond constitutional law.

A weaker perception of Federal Reserve independence could influence bond markets, currency valuations, equity markets, and digital assets, all of which respond to expectations surrounding monetary policy.

For cryptocurrency markets, increased uncertainty surrounding Federal Reserve governance may contribute to heightened volatility as investors reassess macroeconomic risks.

Why It Matters

Central bank independence has long been viewed as a cornerstone of financial stability. Even without immediate policy changes, uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve's legal protections may influence investor confidence and shape expectations for future monetary policy decisions.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Foreign exchange markets are highly sensitive to Federal Reserve policy. Any future uncertainty regarding the Fed's independence could affect interest rate expectations, U.S. dollar strength, global capital flows, and the broader monetary environment closely watched by foreign currency holders.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 – Debt

The Federal Reserve plays a central role in managing interest rates, inflation, and government borrowing costs. Questions surrounding its independence could influence debt markets and global monetary stability.

• Pillar 2 – Assets

Investor confidence in central bank independence affects capital allocation across stocks, bonds, precious metals, and digital assets as markets respond to changing perceptions of monetary policy credibility.

Closing Thoughts

While the Supreme Court preserved the Federal Reserve's independence for now, the narrow margin of the ruling ensures the debate is far from settled. Future changes in the Court's composition—or new legal challenges—could once again test the constitutional protections surrounding one of the world's most influential financial institutions.

This is not just about one Supreme Court ruling—it reflects the ongoing balance between political authority, central bank independence, and confidence in the global financial system.

Massive News For Iraqi Dinar Investors ! The Final Steps Before the Dinar Revaluation?

Massive News For Iraqi Dinar Investors !  The Final Steps Before the Dinar Revaluation?

The Dinar Den:  6-28-2026

The landscape of the Iraqi economy is currently undergoing a period of intense scrutiny and rapid evolution. For investors and observers, staying informed about the intersection of politics, digital infrastructure, and fiscal policy is vital.

A recent update from The Dinar Den provides a deep dive into the current state of affairs, offering a balanced perspective on what these developments mean for the future of the Iraqi dinar.

At the heart of Iraq’s current transition is a renewed focus on strategic international partnerships. Reports indicate that an upcoming diplomatic visit to Washington by Iraqi leadership is set to usher in a new era of cooperation between the two nations.

This mission is expected to prioritize robust economic development and the modernization of Iraq’s digital landscape. Notably, discussions surrounding the integration of advanced satellite internet technologies, such as Starlink, highlight a commitment to upgrading the nation’s infrastructure, which is a foundational step toward global economic integration.

For those who have followed the Iraqi market since the early 2010s, the current pace of reform feels unprecedented. Observers note that recent anti-corruption sweeps, particularly within Baghdad’s Green Zone, signal a serious commitment to transparency and governance.

By addressing long-standing issues of corruption, the government is working to create a more stable and reliable environment for international investment. While geopolitical complexities involving regional neighbors remain a factor to watch, these internal clean-up efforts are widely viewed as essential precursors to a major economic transformation.

While there is a palpable sense of optimism regarding a potential revaluation of the dinar, it is crucial for investors to remain grounded. The shift toward a stronger economy is a complex process, and while significant progress is visible, experts advise against relying on speculative timelines or “get-rich-quick” predictions.

The consensus among seasoned observers is that while the trajectory appears positive—with many anticipating major milestones within the current year—patience remains the most valuable asset in an investor’s toolkit.

Rather than focusing solely on specific dates, the most effective approach for those invested in the dinar is to prioritize practical preparation.

Understanding the geopolitical climate, monitoring the progress of infrastructure projects, and staying updated on government-led reforms allows individuals to make informed decisions. By maintaining a balanced perspective, investors can navigate the volatility of the market with confidence, ensuring they are well-positioned regardless of when specific economic shifts occur.

For those looking to gain a more comprehensive understanding of these developments, watching the full analysis provided by The Dinar Den is highly recommended. By staying educated and avoiding the traps of emotional speculation, you can better navigate the evolving story of Iraq’s economic journey.
