STABLECOIN RESET WATCH: U.S. TREASURY PUTS GENIUS ACT RULES INTO OPERATION AS DIGITAL DOLLAR INFRASTRUCTURE TAKES SHAPE
The Treasury’s new procedural framework moves the United States another step toward a regulated stablecoin system that could connect dollar-based digital payments more closely with the traditional financial system.
OVERVIEW
The U.S. Treasury has put an interim final rule into effect establishing procedures and forms for reviewing state certifications under the GENIUS Act.
The framework is designed to help determine whether state payment-stablecoin regulatory systems meet federal requirements established by the new law.
The development adds another piece to the emerging U.S. digital-payment infrastructure, although it does not create a digital dollar or establish a central bank digital currency.
KEY DEVELOPMENTS
1. Treasury Puts Stablecoin Certification Procedures Into Operation
On September 30, the Treasury Department issued an interim final rule establishing procedures for the Stablecoin Certification Review Committee.
The rule implements part of the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act, known as the GENIUS Act. Specifically, it establishes the process and forms that state payment-stablecoin regulators will use when submitting certifications for federal review.
The rule became effective September 30, 2026, although certifications will not actually be accepted until the required Paperwork Reduction Act approval is completed. Treasury said it will announce when submissions can begin.
Comments on the interim final rule are due November 30, 2026.
2. The GENIUS Act Is Building a Federal-State Regulatory Framework
The new Treasury procedure is one part of a much larger implementation process.
Treasury previously announced that the GENIUS Act is expected to become effective on January 18, 2027. Beginning on that date, payment-stablecoin issuers generally will need an appropriate federal or state license to issue payment stablecoins in the United States.
Treasury's August rulemaking also outlined requirements concerning when foreign-issued payment stablecoins can be offered in the United States and how digital-asset businesses will be treated under the new framework.
This means the United States is moving beyond simply debating whether stablecoins should be regulated and toward establishing the operational machinery needed to administer the system.
3. Digital Dollar Infrastructure Is Expanding Without Creating a CBDC
Stablecoins are privately issued digital assets designed to maintain a stable value relative to a fixed monetary value, often the U.S. dollar.
That distinction is important.
The Treasury's action does not create a U.S. central bank digital currency (CBDC), nor does it replace physical dollars or bank deposits with a government-issued digital dollar.
Instead, it establishes regulatory infrastructure around privately issued payment stablecoins. If the system develops as intended, dollar-linked stablecoins could become increasingly integrated into digital payments, settlement, financial markets and cross-border transactions.
That makes the development significant for the future architecture of dollar-based finance even without a government-issued digital currency.
WHY IT MATTERS
Stablecoins are increasingly being viewed as a bridge between traditional money and digital financial networks.
The Treasury's latest action is important because it addresses something that financial-system modernization requires: rules, standards and supervisory processes.
A digital financial system cannot operate at scale on technology alone. It also requires clear definitions of who can issue digital money, which regulators have authority, how different jurisdictions interact, and what standards must be met.
The GENIUS Act implementation is therefore part of a broader transition toward a financial system in which traditional currencies can move through increasingly digital infrastructure.
WHY IT MATTERS TO FOREIGN CURRENCY HOLDERS
For foreign currency holders watching the evolution of the global financial system, stablecoin regulation is worth following because it involves the future role of the U.S. dollar in digital finance.
Treasury has explicitly connected implementation of the GENIUS Act with maintaining the role of the dollar in the international financial system. At the same time, the new framework does not establish a mechanism for revaluing foreign currencies or guarantee that any particular currency will appreciate.
The more immediate development is structural: dollars are gaining additional regulated pathways for moving through digital networks.
For currency holders, that makes stablecoins another area to watch alongside central-bank digital currencies, tokenized deposits, instant payments and other forms of financial modernization.
IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL RESET
Pillar 1: Technology
Stablecoins demonstrate how blockchain-based financial technology is moving from experimentation toward regulated financial infrastructure.
The important development is not simply the existence of digital tokens. It is the creation of regulatory standards that could allow digital-dollar instruments to interact more directly with banks, payment companies and other financial institutions.
Pillar 2: Assets
Payment stablecoins are digital assets designed to maintain a stable value relative to a fixed monetary value.
As regulation becomes clearer, stablecoins could become more deeply connected to the broader digital-asset ecosystem, potentially influencing how value is transferred and settled across financial platforms.
Pillar 3: Trade
Dollar-linked digital payment systems could eventually make some forms of cross-border settlement faster and more automated.
That does not mean stablecoins will replace existing international payment networks. Instead, they represent another technological layer that could become part of the evolving infrastructure supporting global commerce.
WHAT TO WATCH NEXT
The next important milestones include the Treasury's announcement of when state certifications can begin, the November 30 deadline for comments on the interim final rule, and continued implementation of the GENIUS Act ahead of its expected January 2027 effective date.
The broader question will be how stablecoins ultimately interact with commercial banks, payment networks, tokenized deposits, digital assets and international settlement systems.
Those connections will help determine whether stablecoins remain primarily a cryptocurrency-sector innovation or become a more deeply integrated component of mainstream financial infrastructure.
THE BOTTOM LINE
The Treasury's latest action is another example of financial-system modernization moving from discussion into implementation.
It does not prove that a “Global Financial Reset” has occurred, and it does not establish a mechanism for foreign-currency revaluation.
What it does show is that the United States is building formal rules around dollar-based digital payment instruments, creating infrastructure that could influence how money moves through the financial system in the years ahead.
The bigger story is not simply the rise of stablecoins—it is the steady construction of the digital rails through which the global financial system is evolving.

🌱 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.

The Rate & The Budget: What You Need To Know (The Clock)
Iraq’s fiscal year is the calendar year. The Financial Management Law (No. 95 of 2004) and a decade of hardened parliamentary practice require the budget to pass through the Council of Ministers’ review, then transmission to Parliament, then the Finance Committee markup, then three separate readings, then the vote all completed before January 1, 2027, or the country runs on the twelfth disbursement under the old law.

The Rate & The Budget: What You Need To Know (The Clock)
Iraq’s fiscal year is the calendar year. The Financial Management Law (No. 95 of 2004) and a decade of hardened parliamentary practice require the budget to pass through the Council of Ministers’ review, then transmission to Parliament, then the Finance Committee markup, then three separate readings, then the vote all completed before January 1, 2027, or the country runs on the twelfth disbursement under the old law.
Working that chain backward from a January 1 effective date: Parliament’s fourth session calendar, the holiday recess, the pilgrimage travel window that empties the Green Zone of quorum you land at roughly 90 days of required legislative processing. Ninety days backward from the end of December lands you squarely on October 15th. That is the last day the Council of Ministers can finalize a draft with numbers that still hold, transmit it, and have it survive the full gauntlet.
THE BUDGET IS A DOLLAR-IN, DINAR-OUT MACHINE
Every line item in the 2027 Budget Law is denominated in Iraqi dinars. Every primary revenue stream that funds it SOMO crude sales, transit fees, customs arrives in US dollars. The exchange rate is the conversion constant baked into the arithmetic of the entire law. Salaries for seven million-plus public employees, pension obligations, the Kurdistan regional share, provincial transfer formulas, sovereign debt service on the external obligations, reconstruction tranches all of it is IQD math running on a USD intake assumption at a fixed peg.
THE HARD CONSTRAINTS NOBODY PRICES IN
– Redenomination mechanics: deleting the zeros means new ISO 4217 instrument codes, note replacement logistics at Rafidain and Rasheed, ATM and core banking recalibration across every branch a 60-to-90 day operational runway that cannot start after the budget passes. It has to start before, in parallel.
– Contract law: existing hydrocarbon contracts and external obligations denominated in old-dinar terms need conversion clauses executed before the rate moves, or you hand every counterparty in the country a litigation claim.
– The auction window: the CBI’s daily dollar auctions, the mechanism that has defended the peg since 2004, must be recalibrated to the new band ‘before’ it is announced one leaked auction at the old rate post-announcement and the spread arbitrage strips the reserves.

Money and business Economy News – Baghdad The head of the Federal Integrity Commission, Dr. Mohammed Ali Al-Lami, stressed that combating corruption and protecting public money requires concerted national and international efforts, and strengthening cooperation in the prosecution of those involved in corruption and enrichment issues at the expense of public money, and the recovery of wanted persons and smuggled funds.
During his meeting with the Chargé d'Affaires of the Embassy of the United States of America in Iraq (Stephen Fagin), Al-Lami stressed the importance of activating international cooperation mechanisms and benefiting from the contents of the United Nations Convention against Corruption, in particular the provisions of Chapter V on asset recovery, describing the recovery of funds and assets obtained from corruption as a cornerstone of international efforts to combat it, while alerting to the importance of removing obstacles to recovery such as dual nationality, different legislation and allegations of political targeting.
He pointed out the importance of giving the preventive aspect a wide area in anti-corruption strategies, in line with Chapter II of the UN Convention, through the development of preventive measures, the promotion of integrity, transparency and accountability, the consolidation of functional codes of conduct, the reduction of conflicts of interest, the promotion of transparency of public money management and government procurement, as well as the expansion of community and media participation in prevention efforts and the dissemination of a culture of integrity.
He pointed out that the promotion of integrity and the fight against corruption contribute to the creation of a safe and attractive environment for investment, through the establishment of the rule of law, transparency and equal opportunities and the protection of investors and money from corrupt practices, stressing the importance of supporting government trends aimed at expanding investment opportunities and enhancing economic cooperation with foreign countries and companies.
For his part, the Chargé d'Affaires of the United States of America in Iraq (Stephen Fagin) expressed his country's desire to intensify cooperation with Iraq in various fields, especially with the development of cooperation paths between the two countries from the field of military support to the expansion of economic cooperation, as well as the areas of integrity and the fight against corruption, stressing the importance of continued coordination and exchange of experiences to serve the common interests of the two countries.
During the meeting, they discussed the prospects of cooperation between the Integrity Commission and the US side in the fields of preventing, preventing and combating corruption, exchanging experiences and enhancing coordination in files of common interest, in order to support efforts to protect public money and prosecute and recover the proceeds of corruption

Iraq Emerges As India’s Second-Largest Crude Supplier
2026-09-30 12:30 Shafaq News- Baghdad Iraq ranked second among India’s largest crude oil suppliers in September, with shipments averaging 579,000 barrels per day through September 27, up significantly from the previous month.
Iraqi crude shipments to India averaged about 163,000 barrels per day in August. The September figure therefore represented an increase of roughly 416,000 barrels per day compared with the previous month.
Russia remained India’s largest supplier at 1.742 million barrels per day. Saudi Arabia ranked third with 570,000 barrels per day, ahead of the United Arab Emirates with 483,000 barrels per day and Kuwait with 333,000 barrels per day.
India’s total crude oil imports averaged about 5.251 million barrels per day during the period, representing a 13% increase from the August average of 4.654 million barrels per day.
Iraq Is The Fourth Largest Destination For Turkish Exports In August
Money and business Economy News _ Baghdad The data of the Turkish Statistical Institute showed on Wednesday that Iraq ranked fourth among the largest Turkish export destinations during the month of August 2026, with a value of 1.079 billion dollars.
According to data seen by "Economy News", Germany topped the list of importing countries from Turkey in August, with a value of 1.760 billion dollars, followed by the United States with 1.731 billion dollars, and then the United Kingdom with 1.203 billion dollars, while Iraq came fourth with 1.079 billion dollars, and Switzerland fifth with 1.073 billion dollars.
The share of the top five countries was 29.2% of Turkey’s total exports in August 2026.
Turkey's exports in August 2026 amounted to about $ 23.467 billion, up 8.1% compared to the same month last year, while imports rose by 10.5% to $ 28.706 billion.
This led to a rise in the Turkish trade deficit by 22.3% year-on-year, to $ 5.239 billion, while the coverage of exports of imports fell to 81.7%, compared to 83.5% in August 2025. https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=74515
Sanad: Technology accounts for 70% compared to oil and gas and enhances Internet transit in Iraq
Money and business Economy News _ Baghdad The Ministry of Communications opened on Wednesday the fifth session of the Iraq International Exhibition and Conference on Information and Communication Technologies (ITEX), under the slogan (Iraq is moving towards digital transformation and the adoption of future technology) under the auspices of Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi and Minister of Communications Mustafa Jabbar Sanad.
Sanad said in a speech during the opening ceremony of the exhibition and its follow-up "Economy News", that this version of the exhibition is very distinct, especially as it coincided with the holiday of the sovereign day, as well as the volume of participation and contribution from the public and private sectors, indicating that the ministry seeks to make the exhibition's activities more practical during the coming stages.
He added that the vision of the Ministry of Communications stems from enhancing harmony and integration between the public and private sectors, pointing out that the technology sector now controls a share ranging from 60 to 70 percent compared to the oil and gas sectors, describing it as the beginning of what is coming, especially with the entry of artificial intelligence technologies that will lead to major developments in the sector.
He pointed to the absence of technical adviser and assistant in the Ministry of Communications from the conference because of their presence in the UAE to sign a contract related to the passage of the Internet to Iraq, stressing that the ministry is working to develop the telecommunications infrastructure and strengthen the position of Iraq in the field of Internet transit traffic.
The minister called for Iraq to be a safe environment for transit, explaining that the ministry signed memorandums of understanding with a number of companies such as (Al-Salam, Ooredoo and Zagel) and other American companies in this field.
He pointed out that a number of Iranian companies were absent from the exhibition due to travel procedures, stressing that the ministry will sign memorandums of understanding with other Iranian companies today.

Axios: The Failure Of Qatari Mediation Between Washington And Tehran Enhances The Possibility Of The Resumption Of Military Operations
Money and business Economy News _ Follow-up Qatari mediators’ efforts this week to achieve a diplomatic breakthrough between Washington and Tehran have failed, with no party willing to make concessions.
The site quoted its sources as saying that the negotiations had reached a dead end. The sources confirm that the absence of tangible progress may prompt the parties to resume military operations.
The website, like other US media, has suggested that U.S. President Donald Trump may order the resumption of the process after the midterm elections, scheduled for November. According to Axios sources, Qatari officials will continue their efforts to reach a diplomatic settlement, but they are disappointed with the actions of both sides.

The 10-year Treasury yield hit a 19-year high in September – Why is it so important?
Sep 25, 2026| Seth Carlson J.P. Morgan Wealth Management Investing Essentials
If it feels like the 10-year Treasury yield has become a fixture in financial headlines, there’s a reason for that. As investors navigate lingering inflation concerns, shifting market expectations around Federal Reserve policy and questions about economic growth, moves in the 10-year Treasury yield are closely watched, as it can impact mortgage rates, stock prices and broader financial conditions.
At its core, the 10-year Treasury yield reflects the annualized return an investor earns by holding a 10-year U.S. Treasury note to maturity, based on its current market price. The yield helps shape long-term borrowing costs across the economy, offers insight into how investors view inflation and growth, and even serves as a reference point for market risk.
The 10-year Treasury yield can act as a window into a broader economic outlook. Here’s what you need to know about the yield, what it signals about the economy, how it affects financial markets and why it can be a useful tool for investors trying to make sense of an uncertain economic environment.
What is the 10-year Treasury yield?
Very simply, the 10-year Treasury yield is the annualized return an investor earns by holding a 10-year U.S. Treasury note to maturity, based on its current market price. These notes, which are issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, are widely viewed as one of the safest instruments in which to invest money because they are backed by the “full faith and credit of the U.S. government." Footnote 1 Opens overlay
Also important for investors to understand is how the 10-year Treasury yield typically behaves. Treasury prices and yields move in opposite directions. When investors rush to purchase Treasuries, prices rise and yields fall. When investors move money elsewhere, Treasury prices drop and yields rise.
The 10-year yield reflects how investors feel about inflation, economic growth and where interest rates may be headed over the long term. That’s why it’s often treated as a barometer for broader economic expectations, not just a return on government debt.
The influence of the 10-year Treasury yield shows up in very real ways. For example, long-term borrowing costs across the economy – especially mortgage rates – tend to follow the 10-year yield. When the yield rises, 30-year fixed mortgage rates also typically climb, making the cost to borrow money to buy a home more expensive. When the yield falls, borrowing may become more affordable, which can help boost the housing market and consumer spending.
That’s why the yield on the 10-year Treasury note can be important to people who may never buy a bond – they may still feel the impact when they take out a loan or refinance their mortgage. Footnote 2
*********************
10-year Treasury yield, January 1, 2000-September 23, 2026
CHART: LINK
When you look at the period of January 2000 to September 23, 2026, it’s easy to see how the 10-year yield reacted to major economic disruptions. After the dot-com bubble burst in the early 2000s and during the 2008 financial crisis, one reason yields fell could be that investors sought out safer assets over those that are seen as riskier, such as equities.
The same pattern reappeared in 2020. As the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the global economy, investors sought safety, pushing the 10-year Treasury yield to historic lows.
In contrast, persistent inflation and correspondingly aggressive rate hikes by the Federal Reserve in 2022 and 2023 caused existing bonds to lose market value as investors tried to sell their old bonds with lower yields for newer bonds paying higher yields. And then in 2025, when the Fed began cutting rates, 10-year Treasury yields increased – and that was unusual since history suggests that the yield typically falls after a Fed rate cut.
In 2026, after the Fed hiked rates in September to combat stubborn inflation, the 10-year Treasury yield continued to climb, hitting a high of 5.116% on September 23, a rate not seen since 2007. Footnote 3 Opens overlay

Fed Insider Reveals the Global Dollar Reset
Fed Insider Reveals the Global Dollar Reset
Miles Harris: 9-30-2026
For years, mainstream financial headlines have warned of the imminent decline of the US dollar as the world’s undisputed reserve currency. Narrative-driven commentary often points to aggressive foreign central bank purchases and changing trade alliances as definitive proof that the greenback is losing its crown.
However, an analysis of key insights from the Federal Reserve’s annual Jackson Hole Symposium presents a far more intricate and nuanced reality. Rather than witnessing an outright abandonment of the currency, the global economy is experiencing a structural transformation in how dollar exposure is accessed, managed, and held worldwide.
Fed Insider Reveals the Global Dollar Reset
Miles Harris: 9-30-2026
For years, mainstream financial headlines have warned of the imminent decline of the US dollar as the world’s undisputed reserve currency. Narrative-driven commentary often points to aggressive foreign central bank purchases and changing trade alliances as definitive proof that the greenback is losing its crown.
However, an analysis of key insights from the Federal Reserve’s annual Jackson Hole Symposium presents a far more intricate and nuanced reality. Rather than witnessing an outright abandonment of the currency, the global economy is experiencing a structural transformation in how dollar exposure is accessed, managed, and held worldwide.
The foundational argument for the de-dollarization thesis rests heavily on foreign exchange data. Headline figures reveal that the dollar’s share of global foreign exchange reserves held by foreign central banks has dropped significantly, falling from 72% in the year 2000 to approximately 57% today. Over the same period, sovereign monetary authorities have visibly increased their gold purchases to diversify their official reserves.
While these statistics appear to signal a retreat from the dollar on the surface, focusing exclusively on central bank balance sheets presents an incomplete picture of the global monetary architecture.
Despite the reduced holdings in official central bank reserves, dollar dominance persists in every major functional category of the international financial ecosystem. In cross-border trade finance, international payment messaging systems, and daily foreign exchange market turnover, the dollar continues to execute the vast majority of global commerce.
The unmatched depth, transparency, and liquidity of American financial markets mean that international counterparties still rely on the dollar as their primary unit of account and medium of exchange, ensuring its operational necessity worldwide.
While public sector holdings may be declining, private sector demand for dollar-denominated assets is expanding rapidly across the globe. Institutional investors, multinational corporations, and private capital funds are acquiring dollar assets at unprecedented levels.
This surge in private market appetite effectively balances the shift seen in central bank portfolios. Rather than money leaving the dollar system entirely, capital is simply transitioning from public balance sheets into private hands, reflecting a rebalancing of global asset allocation rather than a systemic exit.
Emerging financial technology is playing a pivotal role in this structural shift, most notably through the rise of stablecoins. Digital assets pegged to the US dollar provide borderless, friction-free access to stable liquidity for individuals and commercial entities in developing economies.
This digital dollarization extends the reach of the currency into previously underserved markets, enabling emerging market firms to borrow, trade, and hold dollar-backed instruments with greater ease. Consequently, private digital access is becoming a key pillar reinforcing global dollar demand.
At the same time, global debt markets are undergoing a fundamental recalibration. There is a noticeable structural transition happening within sovereign debt management, marked by a shift away from long-duration US Treasury bonds in favor of short-term Treasury bills.
This pivot toward shorter-dated paper reflects a broader systemic debt reset, where market participants prioritize maximum liquidity and flexibility in a changing macroeconomic environment. Short-term Treasuries have increasingly become the definitive collateral asset for modern global banking and liquidity management.
The insights emerging from the Jackson Hole analysis demonstrate that the narrative of a collapsing reserve currency oversimplifies a complex reality. The world is not turning its back on the dollar; instead, the mechanisms of dollar exposure are being modernized through private holdings, short-term debt instruments, and digital innovations.

The pieces have locked into place. The Council of Ministers receiving the 2027 Federal General Budget Law draft is not routine bureaucracy it is the mechanism. Under Iraqi budget law, the exchange rate MUST be codified inside the budget before passage.

Swisher1776: IQD RV: The Council of Ministers announced that it has officially received the draft of the 2027 Federal General Budget Law.
The pieces have locked into place. The Council of Ministers receiving the 2027 Federal General Budget Law draft is not routine bureaucracy it is the mechanism. Under Iraqi budget law, the exchange rate MUST be codified inside the budget before passage.
October 15 is not a suggestion. It is the statutory choke point. The rate goes in the budget or Iraq runs a parallel-budget year on the old program rate which they cannot do, because the entire financial architecture behind the scenes (SEC/CFTC rule changes, tokenized asset frameworks, pipeline) is already calibrated for the new rate.
The rate adjustment intention was already signaled publicly yesterday. You don’t “announce intent to adjust” a rate unless the decision is made. That announcement was the soft disclosure before the hard number drops.
Every dependency has been cleared in sequence. This is not coincidence. This is coordinated rollout, with each party completing their assigned prerequisite before the window opens. Iraq’s budget cannot legally move forward without the rate. The rate cannot move forward without the regulatory environment abroad being ready. The regulatory environment is now ready.
People have no idea how many are about to eat crow. This event is much bigger than any vain reason why people got into this investment. I look at this as a war time scenario. A declaration of independence against the Cabal. I fully understand why this transition is necessary.
Please Understand This One Basic Principle:
Every line item in the 2027 Budget Law is denominated in Iraqi dinars. Every primary revenue stream that funds it SOMO crude sales, transit fees, customs arrives in US dollars.
The exchange rate is the conversion constant baked into the arithmetic of the entire law. Salaries for seven million-plus public employees, pension obligations, the Kurdistan regional share, provincial transfer formulas, sovereign debt service on the external obligations, reconstruction tranches all of it is IQD math running on a USD intake assumption at a fixed peg.
You cannot pass that law at the old rate and then move the rate after passage. You would detonate the entire fiscal framework retroactively.
Move the rate upward post-enactment and the dinar-denominated expenditure side inflates against the actual purchasing value of the incoming dollars instant structural overcommitment in some lines, unallocated surplus in others, and the Finance Committee gets to explain why a law they voted on no longer means what it said.
Move it downward post-enactment and you gut the salary lines and the development budget overnight. Either direction, you trigger emergency amendment legislation, which Iraq does not have the calendar time to process before January 1.
So the rate must embed in the draft itself, before October 15th, or the 2027 framework is built on sand.

He we heard in the morning he had done an executive order to pull all remaining U.S. troops and our involvement in Iraq militarily, out, giving Iraq their total sovereignty. That was my meeting around now nine or 10 in the morning, Eastern Time. Okay, so we heard from Iraq on that.
One of our sources there confirmed and said they will be a. This gives them sovereignty, and there will be a three-day holiday, which started today, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
A three-day holiday they're calling sovereignty days. Sovereignty days. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I thought, okay, that's good. Now, what's going to happen during that holiday?
Today, tomorrow, and Thursday? Could Iraq put out a new rate in that period or after that holiday?
See, this is what I'm looking for. I'm looking for them to take advantage of that and put a new rate out. They're already paying contractors, military, and into Kurdistan, and we're hearing things from our contract in Fallujah, in Arabia, also in Kurdistan, that they are being paid. Now I don't know at what rate they're being paid.
We haven't heard that yet, but it's good that finally, after all of this time, the deal that was struck with Kurdistan, like the oil and gas law, the hydrocarbon law, they call it HCL law, HCL 130, I think it was called, that that has at least been agreed to, where now they can start paying based on it, based on oil revenues and so on, so that has started.
Now, what's interesting is when we have the sovereignty of Iraq. What we heard, which we have now, what we heard was this cannot go.
Meaning, our RV, our blessing, can could not go until we had the sovereignty of Iraq, and we were saying, remember how we heard?
Well, they have until the 30th, which is tomorrow, you know, Wednesday, last day of the month, to do it. Well, President Trump did it Monday, and so what does that mean for us?
Sovereignty of Iraq is good. We had to have it done before the RV could be released. Okay, good. We're there on that.
And one of our sources, that's an intel source and has been very consistent, very good. Said we would receive our notifications either the first, second, or third of October. The first is Thursday, second is Friday, and the third would be Saturday. That's what he was saying.
First, second, or third. I'm like, okay, all right. We made it this far. We can do that if that's what it is. Then we got another source who's very high up with our lead bank, and he said, because if we have the sovereignty of Iraq for two days, this can be released.
Now, our let's look at it. It actually occurred on Monday, but we know the Sovereignty Day's holiday starts today in Iraq.
So let's call it Tuesday. Wednesday would be the first two days of full sovereignty, according to their three-day holiday called Sovereignty Days. All right, so what does that do for us?
There's two days plus you count Monday that they will have enjoyed sovereignty, and we were told if they have two days of sovereignty, this can go, meaning we can get our notifications, and this individual believes very strongly in the possibility of Thursday being the day when we do receive our notifications. Now that's two days from now.
Today being Tuesday night, so I'm encouraged by that. Thinking we could get this thing Thursday. Now the other individual said Thursday, Friday, Saturday; those three days in play for us for notifications.
So it might not be Thursday, but Thursday appears to be legitimately in play for us to be notified. And if we got notified Thursday, when would we start exchanges? Probably Friday, which would be the second of October.
So we're going to leave that door open and see if we do get our numbers Thursday. I don't really see it tomorrow. Initially, I thought tomorrow was definitely when we might get notified and start saying it's Thursday, and the other information that we received is pointing more toward a Thursday start for notification.
Now, we know Tier One, which are Royals, have been paid. We know Tier Two, which are whales, super whales, really big players, have been paid, but don't, as far as we can tell, have access to their funds yet.
I think they're holding them off for a shotgun start. Tier three bondholders-they are supposed to have been paid yesterday and today into their accounts. It doesn't mean they have access to those funds yet.
I've been told they will have access to those monies in their accounts when we get notified and are setting up our appointments. So they may have a 24-hour head start on us, kind of a modified shotgun start, and a true shotgun start. Everybody starts at exactly the same time.
We've been talked about. We've been told modified shotgun start might not be a true shotgun. Whatever. If tier three bondholders do go a day before us, good for them.
We should be going just as soon as we set our appointments and can begin our exchanges. And we know some redemption centers are going to be open. Some will be around the clock in high density areas.
Well, they'll go. Well, let me put it this way: they'll go till about 11 or midnight, and maybe start up next day at two or three in the morning. Some will. Most will be open eight or 10 hours a day, starting somewhere around eight, 9o'clock in the morning, and go till seven or eight at night.
It's all going to be based on demand. It's all based on where are the zim holders, where the zoom holders are. You know where are the zoom holders. They know pretty much where they are.
The only thing they don't know is who has been gifted currency, who has been gifted them. They have some idea, but they don't know everybody. That's going to be this variable, you know.
When people finally say, "Oh, this thing's happened. Oh, okay. Well, let me get that that zip note you gave me out of the drawer, and set an appointment and go.
So I think we're obviously in the best place we've ever been for this to take place. Yes, October 1 is the beginning of the new fiscal year. F I S C A L fiscal year, and we do have we have we had a conference or press conference yesterday from President Trump announcing start of a big investment in steel in in Iowa, in Southwest Iowa, to the tune of about $18 billion, according to the person that was representing the company, and then they're also going to be doing iron ore exploration in Minnesota, Minnesota, and they haven't been mining in that region, which is full of iron ore, for like 50 years.
So that's going to start back up. I think that was a $2.3 billion investment to get that mining operation up and rolling. So you got that happening. You got manufacture of steel. It's going to be state of the art in Iowa, which is great.
You know, center of the country, and that'll be a good thing. Now today, President Trump announced America. Gov. America.gov. This is a, I'm going to call it kind of a portal website for all things governmental for the United States. It's up. It's running.
It was announced today by President Trump. He's changed the term artificial intelligence to super intelligence. He believes in more like super intelligence. He wants the U.S. who is in the lead on this to stay in the lead on this, and I think that's true. I think we will. And but that America.gov site is up and running, and people that have seen it already liked it and thought it was really great.
So it's going to be a good way to check for how to do a passport, how to get good ID for voting, how to get in touch with IRS if you need to, you know, and speak to an actual human being-how unusual! So there are there's a lot of information that's available for all of our governmental entities that you can get to on on America.gov.
So, what else is going on?
I've heard from our some of our sources that some direct deposits already started going out yesterday from IRS with no explanation yet. You know how they do it. They'll do a direct deposit, and they'll send you a letter in the snail mail that'll explain what it was. Well, this is pretty interesting. This is pretty cool.
It's hard to say exactly what it is. We're not sure. We're not sure. It could be refunding of taxes paid. Simple as that. Not not overpayment, but just payment that you made being sent back to you. I don't know. Let's give it a little time.
Let's see what happens by the end of the week for the rest of the country to see how if this has happened for more than a few people.
We heard over 11,000 in the Midwest had received this yesterday. Over 11,000. That's not a whole lot of people, but it's good for those people. We got it. So I think we are in a position now where we should be seeing some things come in.
Now, we do need to see the U.S.N. as our new currency, the U.S.T.N. United States Treasury note, no longer Federal Reserve. We need to see that announced to us. when we go into the redemption centers, we're going to be able to get.
They don't want to stake more than $2,500 in cash in the new USPN currency. So I'm looking to see that we get an announcement about asset Set-backed currencies globally as part of the GCR, the Global Currency Reset. I'm looking for that to happen now.
If we get notified, let's say Thursday and start Friday, man, it better happen by Friday. You know, I mean, we need it to happen before we take any cash out of the redemption center of our new money, so we are looking for that announcement. We don't know exactly when.
I know that NESARA GESARA would not be announced as such. Don't look for Nasara and Jasar to be announced with those names. I think we're going to see things like the new currency, asset-backed currencies globally. That is the kickoff. That is the start of it. That's the first fruits of NESARA and GESARA globally.
So I'm looking forward to seeing more of that. I don't know whether or not we're going to go right away to EBS EAS emergency broadcast system should be fired up when we get started for our exchanges, because whenever those announcements come, we don't know how long they're going to go, how many days.
We've heard all kinds of things, but we've got to see what it really becomes. We don't know yet enough to be clear about it. 100% So I'm excited, and I'm hoping we get our numbers by Thursday, sometime Thursday. We'll see, and I look forward to everybody having a great couple of days.
Until then, so let's thank everybody. Sue, thank you for a wonderful job tonight, as always. Excuse me. Yeah, and thank you, Bob. Excellent.
Thank you, everybody. Take advantage of the sale. It's going to be good till the at least till the end of the week. It sounds like, And thank you, GCK and Doug, your technical help and support.
Thank you, Jeanie, for your continued involvement in prayer and praise every every call. And Pastor Scott, be healed and let us hear from you.
And thank you, Big Call Universe, for listening to us for these 15 years, and listening to the Big Call. And thank you, Satellite Team, for getting the call out all over the world. We appreciate that. So let's go ahead and pray the call out, and then we'll see what happens between now and Thursday. Okay. All right.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
DIGITAL PAYMENTS RESET WATCH: APPLE PAY ENTERS INDIA AS GLOBAL PAYMENT SYSTEMS EVOLVE
Apple Pay’s launch in India adds another major global payment network to one of the world’s most advanced real-time digital payment ecosystems, highlighting the continuing evolution of how money moves across borders and platforms.
OVERVIEW
Apple Pay has officially launched in India through a partnership with Axis Bank, initially supporting eligible Visa and Mastercard credit cards.
India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI) already dominates the country’s digital-payment landscape and is recognized by the IMF as the world’s largest retail fast-payment system by transaction volume.
The development illustrates how global payment networks, domestic instant-payment systems, banks and digital wallets are increasingly operating within the same financial ecosystem.
KEY DEVELOPMENTS
1. Apple Pay Enters One Of The World’s Largest Digital Payment Markets
Apple Pay launched in India on September 30 through a partnership with Axis Bank, giving Apple’s payment service its first foothold in one of the world’s largest digital-payment markets.
The initial rollout is available to Axis Bank customers with eligible Visa and Mastercard credit cards. Cards issued through India’s domestic RuPay network are not currently supported.
Axis Bank had approximately 16.3 million credit cards outstanding in August, compared with roughly 124 million credit cards nationwide, according to central-bank data reported by Reuters.
Customers can add eligible cards through the Axis Bank mobile application or Apple Wallet and use Apple Pay for purchases in stores, applications and online transactions.
2. Apple Pay Is Entering An Already Highly Developed Payment Ecosystem
India is not beginning its digital-payment transformation with Apple Pay.
The country's Unified Payments Interface, or UPI, has already become a major part of everyday financial activity. Reuters, citing a 2025 IMF report, reported that UPI accounts for approximately 84% of India's digital-payment volumes.
The IMF describes UPI as the world's largest retail fast-payment system by volume and has studied India's experience as an example of how interoperability between banks and payment providers can accelerate digital-payment adoption.
This makes Apple's entry particularly significant.
Rather than replacing India's existing payment infrastructure, Apple Pay is entering an ecosystem in which multiple payment technologies can coexist.
*****************
3. The Bigger Story Is Interoperability
The IMF's research on India's payment system highlights the importance of interoperability—the ability of different banks, applications and payment providers to connect and transact across a common infrastructure.
UPI allows participating banks and payment providers to exchange payment information while the underlying funds remain within users' bank accounts.
That architecture has helped India expand digital payments while allowing different applications and financial institutions to participate.
Apple Pay adds another consumer-facing layer to that ecosystem.
The significance is therefore broader than the arrival of one technology company. It demonstrates how payment systems are increasingly being built around connections between different networks rather than isolated financial platforms.
WHY IT MATTERS
The global financial system is gradually moving toward faster, more connected forms of payment.
Traditional international payments can involve multiple banks, intermediaries, currencies and settlement systems. Newer payment infrastructure is increasingly designed to make transactions faster, more interoperable and more digitally integrated.
India's UPI provides one example of how a national payment rail can become a large-scale digital infrastructure platform.
Apple Pay's entry demonstrates another part of the evolution: global technology and payment companies are seeking access to established domestic payment ecosystems rather than building completely separate systems.
That distinction matters because the future of digital finance may depend less on one single replacement system and more on how effectively different systems connect with one another.
WHY IT MATTERS TO FOREIGN CURRENCY HOLDERS
For foreign currency holders watching the evolution of the global financial system, digital payments are an important part of the foundation being built underneath future international finance.
The development does not mean that currencies are being revalued, that a global currency reset has occurred, or that Apple Pay is replacing the dollar or India's rupee.
What it does show is that the infrastructure through which currencies are transferred and used is changing.
As countries develop faster-payment networks, banks modernize settlement systems and technology companies connect consumers to financial infrastructure, the way money moves can change even before the currencies themselves change in value.
IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL RESET
Pillar 1: Technology
Digital wallets, instant-payment systems and interoperable banking networks are becoming increasingly important components of modern financial infrastructure.
Pillar 2: Currencies
More efficient payment systems can make domestic and international currency transactions faster and potentially reduce friction between different financial networks.
Pillar 3: Trade
Faster and more connected payment infrastructure can support international commerce by improving how businesses and consumers pay across increasingly digital economies.
Pillar 4: Assets
As financial transactions become increasingly digital, the infrastructure supporting bank deposits, cards, digital money and eventually tokenized financial assets becomes increasingly important to the broader financial system.
WHAT TO WATCH NEXT
The next important question is whether Apple Pay expands its Indian banking partnerships.
Reuters reported that Apple has also held discussions with HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank, although commercial agreements had not yet been finalized.
The larger issue is whether global payment providers increasingly connect with national instant-payment systems and whether those connections eventually extend beyond consumer payments into cross-border settlement, banking and digital financial infrastructure.
India's experience with UPI will be particularly important because the IMF has identified its interoperability model as a significant factor in the growth of digital payments.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Apple Pay's arrival in India is not a currency reset, but it is another visible piece of the infrastructure transformation taking place underneath the global financial system.
India already demonstrates that digital payments can scale nationally through interoperable networks, while Apple Pay illustrates how global financial technology companies are increasingly connecting to those established systems.
For those watching the Global Reset, the important lesson is to watch the infrastructure before the headlines.
The bigger story is not simply which payment app consumers use—it is how banks, technology companies and national payment networks are increasingly connecting the world's money into a more integrated financial system.

With the addition of the Iraqi market, the platform now includes markets with a total market value exceeding one trillion dollars, and includes approximately 700 listed companies and more than 11 million registered investors. link
Tishwash: Iraq declares "Sovereignty Day" holiday from Wednesday to Sunday
On Saturday, the Cabinet issued a decision to suspend official working hours on the occasion of "Sovereignty Day".
An official statement from the media office of Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi stated: It has been decided to suspend official working hours in state institutions starting from Wednesday, September 30, until Saturday, October 3, in celebration of the (Sovereignty Days) of the Republic of Iraq.
The complete withdrawal of foreign forces from Iraq is expected to be announced on September 30, after all their bases and camps have been handed over to the Iraqi side.
Al-Zaydi had previously directed all ministries, non-ministerial entities, and governorates to take the necessary measures in accordance with the law, in coordination with the government media cell, regarding the celebration of "Iraqi Sovereignty Day".
Iraq and the United States had agreed in September 2024 to end the military mission of the international coalition led by Washington against the "Islamic State" organization in Iraq, as part of a phased plan to move the security relationship between the two countries from the framework of the coalition to a bilateral partnership.
The first phase of the mission ended in September 2025, while forces remained in the Kurdistan Region to support operations against the organization in Syria, with the final phase to be completed by the end of September 2026.
The international coalition was formed in 2014 to assist Iraqi forces in confronting ISIS, which at the time controlled large areas of Iraq and Syria. The mission of the coalition forces later shifted primarily to training, advising, and intelligence support, while Baghdad asserts that its forces are now capable of assuming responsibility for security and pursuing the organization's cells link

The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Nizar Nasser, was elected Vice-Chairman of the Council of Governors of Arab Central Banks and Monetary Authorities during the 50th session of the Council, held in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. The meeting, organized and sponsored by the Arab Monetary Fund, brought together governors of central banks and monetary authorities from across the Arab world.
Discussions focused on key regional and international economic and financial developments, the challenges facing Arab economies amidst current geopolitical shifts, and ways to enhance monetary and financial stability, develop the banking sector, support digital transformation and financial inclusion, and improve the efficiency of Arab payment systems and financial markets.
The meeting also addressed strengthening cooperation and coordination among Arab central banks and monetary authorities, and developing joint efforts with international financial institutions, particularly the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, to bolster the resilience of Arab economies to shocks and achieve stability and sustainable growth.
The governors discussed priority issues proposed for inclusion in the unified Arab statement for 2026 before the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. These issues include strengthening financial and technical support for Arab countries, developing local capital markets, supporting digital transformation, sustainable finance, capacity building, and enhancing the representation of Arab countries and expertise in international financial institutions.
The 50th session of the Council coincided with the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Arab Monetary Fund, reflecting a long history of Arab monetary and financial cooperation and the Fund's role in supporting efforts to achieve stability and economic development in Arab countries.
Iraq's participation in this important Arab financial forum confirms its return to a leading position regionally and internationally, and reaffirms the distinguished status of the Central Bank of Iraq, one of the oldest Arab central banks.
It also underscores the prominent presence of the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Nizar Nasser, among his counterparts from other Arab central banks. link
