MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Good morning everyone I hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed 4th of July weekend, be safe in all you do. Thanks MarkZ and the Mods, I appreciate your efforts to make this possible.

MZ: Today we are trying to make sense out of the rollercoaster! Mr. Cottrell joins in hopes he can shed some light on where we are. Lucas joins after the regular show, and we have Wade Holder with a July 4th message.

Member: Frank26 is saying the dinar rate is digitally changed in the background. Could this finally be our weekend?
Member:  Frank26 is now saying not til September for an rv because of US not happy with progress of getting rid of corruption before Z visits Trump. I think it’s smoke to cloud timing. Like Kuwait did.

MZ: Lots of back and forth on timing from sources. The majority of sources believe that we go sometime in the month of July.

Member: September is when the troops are supposed to pull out of Iraq that’s why some support an rv at that point.

MZ: There is a lot happening around the world. A lot of clean up going on.

Member: Do we need to wait until all countries all cleared from the bad apples before RV starts? Just a thought.

Mark, according to Frank - they ( Iraq) has recovered 3 quadrillion dinars so far !  from corrupt officials mostly

Member: Iraqi authorities have arrested at least 53 prominent politicians anti-corruption crackdown led by prime minister Ali al Zaidi

Member: Federal Reserve releases frozen Iraqi funds today"?? Timing is priceless .

Member: heard that NADER has gone off Youtube. Speculation is he's under NDA

MZ: He may just be busy with life…..it happens

Member: Judy Byington also quit posting …..rumor is she may also be under an NDA.

MZ: The bond side continues to stay very quiet. I believe a lot is going on but nobody is talking.

Member: If they signed NDA’s – they would be beyond stupid to open their mouths and possibly lose it all.

Member: Have the Indian Nations been paid? Do they have cash?

MZ: I have gotten mixed reports on that. A couple sources say they do have money but are not allowed to release it yet. But a couple say they have not been funded yet. My take on this is “It’s a process”that has started with some. Was there a slow down or a hiccup because of clean-up going on? I do not have that answer.

Member: Makes no sense for Zaidi and his entire financial group to come here without changing his rate. imo

Member: I think they would miss the biggest opportunity to release the RV or Nesara on America's 250 th birthday. just saying. Lol

MZ: This may seem long to us…but in our history , big changes in the financial system typically took years to accomplish. We are in the middle of it.

Member: Happy Independence day to all. Have a safe and wonderful weekend.

Majeed KSA: Preparing for the Revaluation

7-2-2026

I just received this news from Iraq.

“I stopped by some currency exchange shops in Baghdad and overheard them saying the dollar has been fluctuating up and down for about a week. I also saw the exchange rates on their display constantly changing, so it seems the market is still unstable and there may be a change coming for the rate.”

My theory based on this message.

The fluctuation is because of the amount of money being confiscated and returned back to the system and the actual cash got burnt, and the value of it was sent to that account issued by the Prime Minister for the confiscated money.

Preparing for reevaluation.

The fluctuation has high indication of changing the rate.

Frank26 What is Iraq's banking reform? ...do you think it's to introduce new coins?  Do you think it's to introduce a new exchange rate?  I think the banking reform is to add value to their currency before they can do anything else. Why come out with coins, why come out with lower notes, when you don't have a new rate for them? Why come out with propaganda  information, knowledge about monetary reform of many other countries around them?  

Militia Man  Article: "ADVISOR MUNIR HADDAD : THE FUNDS LOOTED SINCE 2003 EXCEED TWO TRILLION DOLLARS, AND THE TRIALS OF THE CORRUPT WILL BE PUBLIC" ...There is no doubt this is a wowzer!! This is flat out a huge escalation in the anti-corruption push — both in scale and visibility. Putting an official $2+ trillion figure on the stolen money, promising public trials, and vowing no red lines or timelines shows real seriousness from the top. This builds enormous momentum and credibility right ahead of the Washington visit on the 17th...Amazing!

Mnt Goat  ...The basic plan to get to the reinstatement comes directly from a 2011 conference held during Dr Shabibi’s time as the director of the CBI with the US treasury, the World Bank and the IMF. We already have witnessed many pieces to the plan executed, so hang in a bit longer you won’t regret it. Yes, the plan has changed a bit, but Iraq must adapt as this is taking so long and technology changes over time.  

Jeff  It cannot be more than a tight narrow managed float...It won't float when the rate changes because their budgets are calculated off the currency value.  If it had a significant float and the currency has a significant value change, that means the budget is completely miscalculated.  So every time the rate changes, they would have to redraft and amend the budget's figures.  They're not going to do that.  That's why it's a narrow managed float in a tight window.

China Just Shut Down Gold Trading

The Financial Edge:  6-30-2026

China just shut down gold trading—but what does that really mean for investors, central banks, and the global economy?

In this in-depth financial documentary, we investigate the real story behind China's latest actions and explore the potential impact on gold prices, silver markets, inflation, currency stability, and global capital flows.

As geopolitical tensions rise and central banks continue accumulating gold reserves, many investors are asking whether this is a temporary regulatory move or part of a much larger strategic shift.

Could China's decision signal concerns about market stability, liquidity, or future monetary risks? And what might this mean for gold investors, silver holders, and anyone watching the global financial system?

We'll examine the institutional perspective, analyze historical parallels, uncover hidden incentives, and explore what sophisticated investors may already be seeing beneath the headlines.

From central bank policy to commodity markets and global economic trends, this documentary breaks down the evidence and separates facts from speculation.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Friday Morning 7-03-26

Advisor To Prime Minister Saleh Mahoud: Iraq Succeeds In Securing The First International Funding With A Sovereign Guarantee To Support The Private Sector

Money and business    Economy News – Baghdad   Dr. Saleh Mahoud Salman, Advisor to the Prime Minister, announced the completion of the first international funding process for a project belonging to the Iraqi private sector with an Iraqi sovereign guarantee, in cooperation with the German Foundation AKA Ausfuhrkredit-Gesellschaft mbH, and in partnership with the German Commerzbank, in an important step within the government's efforts to support economic reform and enhance the confidence of international financial institutions in the Iraqi economy.

He explained that this process represents the beginning of a new stage in the use of sovereign guarantees to attract international finance, technology and investments, which contributes to enabling the private sector to implement development and production projects with direct economic impact, and reflects the success of building partnerships with leading international banking institutions, foremost of which is Commerzbank, one of the most prominent European banks.

He added that this achievement is the first of a series of development finance projects that are expected to be implemented during the next phase, in order to support the diversification of the national economy, promote local industry, provide job opportunities, and establish partnerships with international financial institutions.

Dr. Saleh Mahoud Salman stressed that the success of this process is the result of coordination and cooperation between the Iraqi government agencies (the Ministry of Finance and the Iraqi Bank for Trade) and international partners, expressing his appreciation to all Iraqi and international parties that contributed to this achievement, which represents a practical step towards expanding financing and investment opportunities in Iraq, and enhancing the presence of banks and international financial institutions in financing Iraqi private sector projects https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=70931

Dollar Heads For Biggest Weekly Decline In Nearly 3 Months

Money and business    Economy News - Follow-up    The dollar is heading for its biggest weekly decline in nearly three months on Friday after a weak job report for June narrowed market expectations for the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hike, which in turn provided an outlet for the yen, which is under pressure.

The dollar continued to fall at the start of Asian trading, and the euro remained hovering near a two-week high of $1.1442. The pound held steady at $1.3361 and is heading for a 1.2 percent weekly gain in its best performance in nearly three months.

The risk-sensitive Australian dollar stood at $0.6935 and is heading to end a four-week losing streak. The New Zealand dollar traded at $0.5702 and rose 1.2 percent during the week.

The dollar index, which measures the performance of the U.S. currency against a basket of currencies, including the yen and the euro, fell 0.2 percent to 100.77 after falling 0.5 percent on Thursday. Since the beginning of the week, it has fallen 0.58 percent, the biggest weekly decline since early April.

U.S. job growth slowed sharply in June if the number of non-farm payrolls rose 57,000 in June, well below expectations of a rise of 110,000. The labor force participation rate fell to 61.5 percent, its lowest level in more than five years.

The data prompted traders to lower their expectations for the central bank’s rate hikes in the near term. According to C.I.'s FedWatch tool. M. E.C., markets expect ‘52 percent to raise interest rates at the September meeting, up from 64 percent in the previous session.

* Breathable for Lin

The Japanese yen in the latest trading reached ⁠161.01 against the dollar after rising about 1 percent in the previous session, which kept the currency from its lowest level in several decades as the dollar fluctuated.

Investors remained on the verge of possible intervention by the authorities to support the yen

Every Day A New Billionaire Is Born. $20 Trillion In The Hands Of Only 3302 People

Reconstruction and construction    Economy News - Follow-up   The number of billionaires around the world has reached a new record high, rising to 3302 billionaires, the highest ever recorded, driven by strong rises in asset and business markets, according to the latest report issued by UBS.

According to Bloomberg, the number of billionaires rose by about 13 percent in one year, at a time when their combined wealth jumped by 25%, a rate that far exceeds the pace of global wealth growth during the same period.

America and Asia are driving the boom.

Both the United States and Asia have led the recent growth in the wealth of the wealthy, capitalizing on the strong performance of equity markets and the continued prosperity in the technology and artificial intelligence sectors.

The report showed that the number of large wealth holders continues to rise, as there are currently 19 billionaires, each with more than $100 billion, and another 18 billionaires with wealth ranging from $50 billion to $100 billion.

A million new millionaires

The boom was not limited to billionaires, as the world also saw the addition of about 1 million new millionaires in 2025, in a sign of continued growth of private wealth in many economies.

Widening wealth gap

Despite this jump in the number of wealthy people, the report points to another less positive aspect, as the wealth levels of the average citizen have declined in many countries, reflecting the widening gap between the large wealth and the rest of the population.

The report argues that the world is not only seeing an increase in the number of billionaires, but also an increment in wealth distribution, as financial asset-holders continue to benefit from the faster-than-growing market incomes in many economies.

Artificial intelligence and markets are paying wealth

Analysts link this historic leap to the continued gains of global stock markets, especially in technology and artificial intelligence companies, along with the rise in the values of private companies and investment assets, which strengthened the wealth of major investors and entrepreneurs during the past year.

As the number of billionaires continues to record unprecedented levels, the report highlights a growing economic challenge of widening the wealth gap, which has become one of the most prominent issues for policymakers and major economies

Artificial Intelligence Widens The Gap Between America And Europe In The List Of The Top 100 Global Companies

Arab and International     Economy News - Follow-up    The artificial intelligence boom has boosted the dominance of U.S. companies among the world’s largest listed companies by market capitalization, while Europe continues to lose its standing as investors’ investment flows into tech stocks, according to a study by consulting firm Ernst & Young.

The study showed that US companies accounted for 56 of the top 100 listed companies in the world by market capitalization by the end of the first half of the year, ahead of China, which came with 12 companies, and then the United Kingdom and Japan with five companies each.

Germany had only one company in the list of the top 100 companies, after it had three companies at the beginning of the year, with Siemens in 72nd place, while SAP and Allianz fell to 114th and 115th place.

Nvidia, which specializes in the manufacture of electronic chips, topped the ranking with a market value of about $4.8 trillion as of June 30, followed by Alphabet, Apple and Microsoft.

Eight of the world’s top 10 companies by market capitalization were U.S., while Taiwan’s TSMC and Saudi Aramco were the only two companies from outside the United States in the top 10.

“We are currently witnessing a historic shift in the balance of power in the global equity markets,” said Henrik Alrs, managing partner at Ernst & Young in Germany, adding that companies that investors see as playing a leading role in the AI value chain, including chipmakers, cloud service providers, platform operators and data center companies, are gaining sharp rises in their market assessments.

Allers pointed out that Europe faces the risk of structural underdevelopment in one of the most important technologies in the world, due to the fragmentation of capital markets and the weakness of the venture capital system.

Ernst & Young said Germany’s representation among the world’s top 100 companies by market capitalization fell from seven in 2007 to just one now, in reference to the challenges facing Europe’s largest economy.

Allers said Europe still had strength in industrial engineering, but that equity markets were now rewarding technological leadership above all else.

However, some companies have improved their rankings, with Siemens Energy and Infinion making significant progress in their rankings https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=70935

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

ECB Unveils Three-Pillar Digital Euro Roadmap, First Issuance Possible by 2029

The European Central Bank (ECB) has outlined a comprehensive three-pillar strategy to modernize Europe's financial system through a digital euro, tokenized settlement infrastructure, and faster cross-border payments. If approved, the initiative could pave the way for the first issuance of a digital euro by 2029, marking one of the world's most significant central bank digital currency (CBDC) projects. 

Overview

• The ECB has released a three-pillar roadmap for launching the digital euro and modernizing Europe's payment infrastructure.

• Regulatory approval is targeted for 2026, with pilot transactions expected in 2027 and a potential public rollout by 2029.

• The initiative aims to strengthen European payment sovereignty while supporting tokenized financial markets and reducing dependence on private stablecoins.

Key Developments

1. ECB Sets Timeline for the Digital Euro

ECB Executive Board member Piero Cipollone outlined a roadmap that targets regulatory approval in 2026, institutional pilot programs beginning in 2027, and the potential issuance of the digital euro by 2029. The retail digital euro is intended to complement physical cash while providing consumers with a secure, central bank-backed digital payment option.

2. Three-Pillar Strategy Modernizes Financial Infrastructure

The ECB's strategy focuses on three key initiatives:

• A retail digital euro for consumers with legal tender status.

• Wholesale settlement using tokenized central bank money for institutional transactions beginning in 2026.

• Interconnected fast-payment systems to improve cross-border payment efficiency throughout Europe.

Together, these initiatives are designed to create a modern payment ecosystem capable of supporting both traditional finance and tokenized assets.

3. Tokenized Settlement Gains Institutional Support

Beginning in September 2026, the ECB plans to allow institutions using distributed ledger technology (DLT) to settle transactions with tokenized central bank money rather than relying on private stablecoins. This move further integrates blockchain technology into regulated financial markets.

4. Europe Seeks Greater Payment Sovereignty

The ECB emphasized reducing Europe's dependence on foreign payment providers and privately issued stablecoins. Standardization agreements have already been signed with major European payment organizations to help ensure broad acceptance of the digital euro across retail payment networks.

Why It Matters

The ECB's roadmap represents one of the most advanced central bank digital currency initiatives among major global economies. Beyond introducing a digital euro, the strategy seeks to modernize payment infrastructure, strengthen financial sovereignty, and integrate tokenized finance into Europe's regulated financial system.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

The continued development of the digital euro demonstrates that major central banks are actively modernizing payment systems through tokenization and digital currencies. Investors following global monetary reform may view these developments as another significant milestone in the evolution of next-generation financial infrastructure.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 2 – Trade

A digital euro and faster cross-border payment systems could improve international settlement efficiency, lower transaction costs, and strengthen Europe's role in global commerce.

• Pillar 4 – Technology

The ECB's roadmap accelerates the adoption of tokenized finance, distributed ledger technology, and central bank digital currency infrastructure, helping modernize Europe's financial architecture.

Future Outlook

The next major milestone will be the European Union's regulatory approval process in 2026. If approved on schedule, pilot programs will begin in 2027 before a possible public launch in 2029, positioning Europe among the first major economies to deploy a large-scale central bank digital currency integrated with tokenized financial markets.

This is not just about launching a digital euro—it reflects Europe's broader strategy to modernize financial infrastructure, strengthen payment sovereignty, and prepare its economy for the next generation of digital finance.

🌱 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.

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.

Friday Iraq News Posted by Tishwash at TNT 7-3-2026

TNT:

Tishwash:  The US Treasury is tracking $300 billion outside the Iraqi banking system.

Informed sources revealed to Al-Mustaqilla information described as serious, indicating that the US Treasury informed the government of Ali al-Zaidi of the existence of sums of money estimated at about $300,000,000,000 believed to have left the official banking system.

According to the source, these funds are suspected to still be outside banking channels, specifically with certain political figures, away from direct financial oversight.

The source also pointed to what he described as “precise sequences of dollar movement allocated to Iraq,” where the path of funds is tracked and transfer and distribution operations are analyzed, in an attempt to uncover the whereabouts of large sums believed to be inside the country or outside the official financial system.

 The information added that ongoing tracking operations reveal – according to the source – a complex financial network linked to dollar flows inside and outside Iraq, which raises questions about the size of undeclared funds and their true paths.  link

Tishwash:  The European Union hands over to the Ministry of Finance the assets of a project to develop public financial management in Iraq.

The European Union handed over, on Wednesday (July 1, 2026), the assets resulting from the "Strengthening Public Finances and Financial Markets" project to the Iraqi Ministry of Finance, in a move aimed at supporting public financial management and enhancing joint cooperation in the fields of macroeconomics and investment.

The EU said in a statement received by Baghdad Today that “today, EU-funded assets were officially handed over to the Iraqi Ministry of Finance, in an important step that reflects our shared commitment to strengthening public financial management.”

He added, “During the handover ceremony, both the Director General of the Administration Department at the Ministry of Finance, Sadiq Huwaidi Abbas, and the Head of the New Cooperation Section at the European Union Mission, Wim Rippma, spoke about the depth of the partnership and its outstanding results between the European Union and Iraq in the fields of economy and investment.”

The statement indicated that “the transfer of assets resulting from the ‘Strengthening Public Finances and Financial Markets’ project, funded by Germany and implemented by GIZ, reflects the sustainable impact of this cooperation and paves the way for continued joint work to establish transparent, effective and sustainable public financial management in Iraq,” adding that “together we look forward to a new chapter in our partnership.”  link

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

Tishwash:  Enhancing the investment environment tops the agenda of Al-Zaidy's meeting with businessmen, along with broader support for the private sector.

Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi discussed with a group of Iraqi businessmen ways to develop the investment environment and expand the contribution of the private sector to the economic development process.

The Prime Minister’s Media Office stated in a statement that “Prime Minister Ali Faleh Al-Zaidi received a group of Iraqi businessmen in various commercial, industrial and financial sectors.”

According to the statement, the Prime Minister affirmed “the government’s commitment to providing a safe investment environment and supporting all legislation and laws that contribute to achieving the requirements for investment, commercial and industrial success.”

He pointed out that “the private sector is an important partner in development and service projects in Iraq.”

He pointed out that “the government will support his active presence within the framework of its plan included in the ministerial program, which focuses on freeing the economy from the single-system model and employing all capabilities  to diversify sources of income and maximize resources.  link

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

Tishwash:  The Central Bank and the Integrity Commission are taking action to close "money laundering channels" – statement

The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Nizar Nasser Hussein, and the Head of the Federal Integrity Commission, Mohammed Ali Al-Lami, agreed today, Thursday (July 2, 2026), to put in place rapid coordination mechanisms to dry up the avenues for smuggling money by activating proactive monitoring and exchanging immediate data.

 The meeting, which took place at the bank's headquarters and was attended by both sides on the occasion of the new governor assuming his position, witnessed an in-depth discussion of the files of protecting public funds, where it was decided to form a joint coordination working group to close the legal and procedural gaps, and to pursue illegal proceeds to recover them in accordance with the legal frameworks.

 The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Mr. Nizar Nasser Hussein, received at the bank’s headquarters the Head of the Federal Integrity Commission, Dr. Muhammad Ali Al-Lami, who offered his congratulations and blessings to His Excellency on the occasion of his assuming his new position, wishing him success in managing the country’s monetary policy.

The meeting witnessed an in-depth discussion of a number of vital files of common interest, where both sides stressed the importance of institutional integration between the Central Bank and regulatory bodies to protect public funds and enhance the environment of integrity and transparency in all state institutions.

In a strategic move to enhance financial security, the head of the Integrity Commission and the governor of the Central Bank agreed to strengthen joint coordination mechanisms with the aim of drying up avenues for money smuggling and combating the challenges facing the financial system, through activating proactive oversight and exchanging real-time data, which represents a fundamental pillar in pursuing corruption crimes, and tracking smuggled funds and illicit proceeds to recover them in accordance with legal frameworks.

At the conclusion of the meeting, both parties emphasized the need for the swift implementation of the joint agreements and the formation of a coordinating working group to ensure that any legal and procedural loopholes that could be exploited in financial transactions are addressed.  link

Tishwash:  Diversifying the Iraqi economy: A historic opportunity or a project that clashes with old obstacles?

 Economic reform is one of the most prominent challenges facing Iraq, given the continued heavy reliance on oil revenues and the direct impact of fluctuations in global energy prices.

Conversely, there are increasing calls to adopt economic policies based on diversifying income sources, encouraging investment, and strengthening the role of the private sector, which would contribute to building a more stable economy capable of facing crises.

With the current government adopting a package of economic plans and reforms, a question arises about its ability to translate this vision into tangible results that reflect on the lives of citizens and the national economy.

Economic expert Abbas Al-Shatri confirmed today, Thursday (July 2, 2026), that the current government adopts an economic vision different from the previous government, based on diversifying income sources and reducing dependence on oil revenues, in addition to stimulating investment and developing the economic infrastructure.

Al-Shatri told Baghdad Today that “Iraq is working genuinely to save the Iraqi economy from the accumulated challenges, based on an economic vision that focuses on structural reforms rather than temporary solutions, which distinguishes its approach from many previous governments.”

He explained that "the success of this vision remains contingent on the continued implementation of reforms, the provision of a supportive legislative and administrative environment, as well as combating corruption and strengthening partnership with the private sector, which will positively impact growth rates and job opportunities."

He added that "Iraq possesses great economic potential that qualifies it to achieve a qualitative leap in the coming years if reform policies continue and development projects are implemented according to clear timetables, and the current stage represents an opportunity to lay the foundations for a more diversified and sustainable economy."

For many years, the Iraqi economy has relied mainly on oil revenues, which represent the largest share of the general budget revenues, making it vulnerable to the fluctuations of global markets.

Over the past years, many government programs have been proposed for economic reform and diversification of income sources, but challenges such as corruption, bureaucracy, a weak investment environment, and delays in project implementation have limited the achievement of broad results.  link

Public Funds Stolen In Iraq Surpass $2 Trillion Since 2003

Iraq   Amr Salem   July 2, 2026   Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The Iraqi Prime Minister’s legal advisor, Munir Haddad, revealed that more than $2 trillion have been stolen from Iraq since 2003.

According to the Iraqi News Agency, Haddad stated that the number of suspects continues to increase as investigations with the arrested ones are ongoing.

The Iraqi government launched a countrywide anti-corruption campaign on Sunday known as “Operation Dawn.” Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi ordered the crackdown, which has resulted in the arrests of several lawmakers and senior officials, as well as the recovery of millions of dollars, gold, luxurious cars, and real estate.

Iraqi security forces began the massive campaign following judicial orders, targeting dozens of current and former government officials.

The step, which included lifting parliamentary immunity and overnight raids in Baghdad’s Green Zone, is based on confessions and investigations into the major arrest of Adnan al-Jumaili, a deputy oil minister accused of corruption.

Primary suspects have delivered extensive confessions, prompting security and judicial officials to arrest more individuals, according to Haddad.

The Iraqi official clarified that some of the suspects attempted to leave the country or seek a safe haven in Iraqi Kurdistan, but Kurdish authorities have shown cooperation and handed over eight suspects so far.

The offenses being investigated include both typical embezzlement and money laundering.

According to Haddad, the sums seized by the authorities are incredible. For example, the wife of one of the defendants purchased a home worth $5 million. Furthermore, some of the accused hold over 50 properties registered in their own or family members’ names.

The campaign will cover several Iraqi provinces. “The investigations and arrests are ongoing and will not adhere to a specific timeline,” Haddad said. They are being conducted in complete secrecy to prevent any individuals who are wanted from fleeing.

Iraq Seeks To Raise Oil Output Ahead Of Global Energy Transition

Iraq   Amr Salem   July 2, 2026    Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – Iraq seeks to boost oil production and optimize its reserves for revenue generation before a global energy transition potentially reduces oil demand.

Iraq is adopting an approach that delaying the development of oil reserves may be less cost-effective than increasing output at the present time, according to Reuters.

Oil constitutes approximately 90 percent of the revenue for the Iraqi government. The recent conflict and the resulting turmoil forced Baghdad to cut its daily output from over 4.2 million barrels to under 1.5 million barrels in May. This situation underscores the urgent need to increase production to recover the lost revenue.

New investments worth billions of dollars from businesses such as British Petroleum (BP), TotalEnergies, and ExxonMobil have raised hopes that Iraq would be able to transform its massive oil reserves into long-term financial benefits. However, this approach raises concerns about a potential significant decline in global oil consumption in the years ahead.

The main concern involves the potential for increased supplies from various producing countries, which could lead to a supply glut and a decline in oil prices. This is particularly relevant as global output is projected to rise by nearly eight million barrels per day by 2027, while the growth in demand is expected to be slower.

The Iraqi strategy is based on the timing factor due to the uncertainties over when global oil demand will decline and whether producers can profit from their reserves prior to that time.

8 Million Barrels Of Iraqi Crude Oil Still trapped On Tankers

Iraq   Amr Salem   July 2, 2026    Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – Over eight million barrels of Iraqi crude oil are still trapped aboard ships, but over 100 million barrels of crude oil and petroleum products that had accumulated in the Gulf have begun to slowly flow back to international markets, offering a temporary relief from supply constraints, Shafaq News said on Thursday, citing a report issued by S&P Global Commodity Insights.

Iraq, along with Oman, has been identified as one of the Middle East’s top countries to reactivate oil output, while key refineries in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Kuwait would take months to restore operations, according to the report.

The total amount of crude oil in the Arabian Gulf reached around 90.5 million barrels, with the remainder divided among other petroleum products. More than 90 million barrels of crude oil were aboard vessels ready to be transported.

According to estimates, Iraq has around 8.3 million barrels of oil stuck on tankers, following only Iran with 31.7 million barrels, Saudi Arabia with 18.7 million barrels, and the UAE with 17 million barrels. Kuwait recorded 8.1 million barrels, Qatar had 4 million, and Oman had 2.2 million barrels.

Most Gulf oil exports are bound for East Asian markets. This demonstrates that the resumption of these supplies may have an impact on the global supply-demand balance, affecting oil prices and producing nations’ income.

International banks anticipate that exports will return to pre-war levels in July, but there is still concern that the effects of such quantities will be temporary until actual production in the region improves.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

SEC Launches ‘Project Crypto’ to Bring Traditional Finance On-Chain

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has unveiled Project Crypto, a sweeping initiative designed to modernize securities regulations for blockchain-based financial markets. The proposal aims to create clearer rules for tokenized assets, digital securities, and cryptocurrency markets while supporting innovation under a regulated framework.

Overview

• The SEC has launched Project Crypto to modernize U.S. securities regulations for blockchain-based financial markets.

• Most digital assets may no longer be classified as securities, potentially reducing legal uncertainty for much of the crypto industry.

• The initiative supports tokenized financial markets while coordinating regulatory oversight with the CFTC.

Key Developments

1. SEC Introduces Project Crypto

SEC Chairman Paul Atkins announced Project Crypto, a comprehensive initiative designed to update securities regulations so traditional financial assets—including stocks, bonds, and other securities—can operate efficiently on blockchain infrastructure. The effort aligns with recommendations from the President's Working Group on Digital Assets and supports the broader adoption of tokenized finance.

2. Most Digital Assets Could Avoid Securities Classification

One of the proposal's most significant changes is the SEC's position that the majority of digital assets should not automatically be treated as securities. If adopted, many blockchain projects could operate under clearer regulatory guidelines rather than facing ongoing uncertainty over securities laws.

3. SEC and CFTC Plan Joint Regulatory Framework

The SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) are expected to establish a Memorandum of Understanding to better define regulatory responsibilities for digital assets that fall outside traditional securities laws. This coordinated approach aims to reduce overlapping oversight and improve regulatory clarity.

4. New Rules Planned for Tokenized Markets

The SEC's Crypto Task Force, led by Commissioner Hester Peirce, will develop proposals covering:

• Digital asset custody

• Tokenized securities trading

• Market structure modernization

• Decentralized finance (DeFi) integration

• Distribution standards for digital assets

The agency expects updated market structure rules to be introduced during 2026.

Why It Matters

Project Crypto represents one of the strongest indications yet that U.S. regulators are preparing for a financial system where traditional assets and blockchain technology operate together. Clearer regulations could encourage greater institutional participation, accelerate tokenization, and reduce legal uncertainty that has slowed innovation across the digital asset industry.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

A more defined regulatory framework for tokenized financial assets could accelerate the development of tokenized currencies, stablecoins, and blockchain-based payment systems. As global financial infrastructure continues to modernize, investors following currency reform and digital asset adoption may view these regulatory developments as an important step toward faster and more efficient financial markets.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 2 – Trade

Clearer rules for blockchain-based financial markets could support faster cross-border payments, tokenized settlements, and more efficient global financial transactions, reducing friction in international commerce.

• Pillar 4 – Technology

Project Crypto advances the modernization of U.S. financial infrastructure by creating a regulatory framework that supports tokenization, blockchain networks, and digital asset innovation within regulated markets.

Future Outlook

The SEC plans to continue developing Project Crypto through 2026 alongside the CFTC and industry participants. If implemented successfully, the initiative could position the United States as a leading jurisdiction for regulated digital assets while encouraging broader adoption of tokenized securities and blockchain-based financial services.

This is not just about cryptocurrency—it reflects a broader transformation of financial markets as regulators build the legal framework for tokenized assets, digital infrastructure, and the next generation of global finance.

The Price of Admission

By Reset Intelligence | @EXIT_FIAT

Iraq’s parliament returned from recess today, and Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi now has about 14 days to finish building his government and finish cleaning it out before he lands in Washington.

The arrests that locked down Baghdad’s Green Zone are the opening move. The deadline behind them is the real story.

The recovery keeps climbing

The money coming back keeps rising with every arrest. This is not a single raid. It is an audit of an entire political class.

• Oil-ministry case – over $107 million  recovered, plus 70 properties, vehicles and gold.
• The walls – $14 million pulled from inside the home of one deputy oil minister.
• Iraqi Airways case – a separate 19 billion dinars recovered.
• Under investigation – close to 1,000 officials, and the list grows with every interrogation.

Two doors, one lock

This month Iraq was added to the FATF grey list, the global watchdog’s register of countries with dirty-money problems. That matters, because a currency is only worth what a foreign bank will clear, and for years Iraq’s banks had lost the correspondent lines that let money move at all.

• July 5 – special session to seat the final 9 ministers, interior and defence among them.
• Mid-July – al-Zaidi flies to Washington, with a reported $400 billion energy fund on the table.

Clean the house, and the banks open the door. That is the order, and Iraq is finally running it.

The part the headlines miss

Everyone is asking whether the dinar goes up. The real question is whether Iraq can prove it is clean enough for the money to come home at all. There is a country that ran this exact play and won, and there is a reason the arrests come before the reprice, not after. That is the connection we walk through in today’s full briefing.
