Is the Gold Gone? Did the U.S. Treasury Lease it? This Would Break the System

Is the Gold Gone? Did the U.S. Treasury Lease it? This Would Break the System

Daniela Cambone:  3-7-2025

Gold never settles. You just roll it over and roll it over,” says Jim Rickards, New York Times best-selling author.

He tells Daniela Cambone that there isn’t enough physical gold to accommodate the paper gold transactions, which can be leased to numerous parties in a chain called “sales of unallocated gold.”

“I own it on paper, but there's no physical gold behind the contract,” he explains. However, he warns that if there were ever a run on the paper market, it would “break the market,” resulting in gold “quadruple almost overnight.”

His primary concern revolves around the disparity between the vast amounts of paper gold traded and the limited supply of physical gold to back it up. He describes a system of “sales of unallocated gold,” where the same physical gold is leased to numerous parties, creating a chain of ownership that exists only on paper.

The core of the problem lies in the leverage inherent in the paper gold market. Institutions can sell gold they don’t possess, creating a synthetic supply that far exceeds the reality. This artificial supply keeps the price artificially suppressed. However, if trust erodes and investors lose confidence in the system’s ability to deliver physical gold, the scramble to secure actual bullion will trigger a price surge unlike anything we’ve seen before.

Rickards’ warning serves as a stark reminder of the potential risks associated with solely relying on paper gold investments. While he doesn’t explicitly advocate for any specific action in this article, his overall message emphasizes the importance of understanding the intricacies of the gold market and taking steps to protect one’s wealth.

The interview with Daniela Cambone provides deeper insights into potential strategies for mitigating the risks highlighted by Rickards. He suggests considering the benefits of holding physical gold, stored securely and accessible in times of market turmoil.

Jim Rickards’ cautionary tale underscores the potential fragility of the paper gold market. The discrepancy between paper claims and physical gold reserves poses a significant risk, and a rush for physical delivery could trigger a dramatic price spike.

While predicting the exact timing is impossible, understanding the dynamics of the market and taking appropriate measures to safeguard your gold holdings could prove crucial in navigating the turbulent times ahead.

The full interview on ITM Trading provides valuable information for those seeking to understand and protect their investments in the face of potential market instability.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

THE EMERGENCE OF LAYER-TWO SOLUTIONS – HOW THEY’RE TRANSFORMING BLOCKCHAIN SCALABILITY AND USHERING IN A NEW ERA OF CRYPTO INNOVATION

In the ever-evolving world of blockchain technology, scalability has been one of the most significant challenges.

As blockchain networks like Ethereum (ETH) continue to see exponential growth, layer-two solutions are emerging as a vital component in addressing issues of network congestion and high transaction fees.

In this post, we’ll dive into the latest developments in layer-two technology, its impact on blockchain scalability and how it’s paving the way for a more efficient and sustainable future for DeFi (decentralized finance) and beyond.

Understanding layer-two solutions

Blockchain networks like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum have often been criticized for their limited transaction throughput and scalability.

Layer-two solutions aim to solve this problem by providing a secondary framework that operates on top of the main blockchain (layer one), allowing for faster, cheaper and more scalable transactions.

There are different types of layer-two solutions, including the following.

▪State channels – These allow two parties to transact off-chain and only settle the final state on the blockchain, reducing congestion.
▪Rollups – Rollups bundle multiple transactions into one, significantly improving transaction speed and lowering fees.
▪Plasma and optimistic rollups – Plasma offers a framework for building scalable applications, while optimistic rollups enable faster execution by assuming transactions are valid until proven otherwise.

Layer-two in action – Ethereum’s road to scalability

Ethereum – one of the most popular blockchain networks – has been at the forefront of layer-two innovation.

The Ethereum network has struggled with high gas fees and slow transaction times due to its PoW (proof-of-work) consensus mechanism.

However, Ethereum 2.0 and the integration of layer-two solutions, such as Optimism (OP) and Arbitrum (ARB), have shown tremendous promise in scaling Ethereum without compromising security.

These layer-two solutions are helping to reduce Ethereum’s gas fees by processing transactions off-chain and only committing essential data to the Ethereum mainnet, making Ethereum more accessible to users across the globe.

In fact, as Ethereum embraces a hybrid model of layer-one and layer-two, it’s enabling DApps (decentralized applications) to run more efficiently and cost-effectively.

Recent updates – Layer-two adoption in the real world

▪Polygon’s expanding ecosystem – Polygon (MATIC), one of the most notable layer-two platforms on Ethereum, has recently seen explosive growth. With major projects like Aave (AAVE), Decentraland (MANA) and even Starbucks utilizing Polygon to enhance scalability and reduce fees, it’s clear that layer-two solutions are becoming an integral part of the DeFi and non-fungible token (NFT) ecosystem.

▪Arbitrum’s airdrop and rise in popularity – Arbitrum’s recent airdrop was one of the most highly anticipated events in the crypto space. This optimistic rollup solution has gained substantial traction for its low-cost transactions and high throughput, making it a go-to choice for developers and users in the Ethereum ecosystem.

▪Solana’s layer-two integration – While Solana (SOL) is a layer-one blockchain known for its high-speed and low-cost transactions, it has also been exploring layer-two solutions to enhance its ecosystem further. With the introduction of layer-two protocols like zk-Rollups, Solana is continuing its push to become a global blockchain platform.

Why layer-two is the key to unlocking crypto’s potential

Layer-two solutions are set to play a critical role in driving the mass adoption of blockchain technology.

By reducing transaction costs, improving transaction speed and minimizing network congestion, layer-two platforms are making DeFi, gaming and NFTs more accessible to the broader population.

In addition to scalability, layer-two solutions offer enhanced privacy and security.

As blockchain adoption grows, and more people enter the world of DeFi and crypto, layer-two will continue to bridge the gap between traditional financial systems and the decentralized world, ensuring that blockchain technology can scale for years to come.

The road ahead – A fully scalable blockchain ecosystem

As blockchain technology continues to evolve, it’s clear that layer-two solutions are not just a temporary fix but a long-term solution for scalability.

The next phase of blockchain innovation will involve further integration of layer-two solutions across multiple blockchain ecosystems, leading to faster, cheaper and more efficient DApps.

In the coming years, we can expect even more innovative layer-two protocols to emerge, offering a range of functionalities from secure cross-chain interoperability to privacy-preserving technologies.

These developments will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of DeFi, NFTs and beyond.

Conclusion

Layer-two solutions are a game changer for the blockchain industry. As Ethereum, Polygon and other layer-one blockchains integrate these technologies, we’re seeing real-world applications for DeFi, NFTs and DApps thrive.

By tackling scalability and reducing transaction costs, layer-two is helping bring blockchain into the mainstream.

For investors, developers and blockchain enthusiasts, keeping an eye on layer-two’s development is crucial to understanding where the future of crypto and blockchain innovation is headed.

U.S. BANKS CAN NOW OFFER CRYPTO SERVICES WITHOUT OCC APPROVAL

▪The OCC now allows federally regulated banks to engage in crypto activities (custody, stablecoins, nodes) without prior approval.

▪This reverses previous stricter guidance and removes regulatory warnings against bank involvement in crypto.

▪The move, coinciding with a White House crypto summit and Trump's executive order, signals a shift towards less restrictive crypto regulation.

For years, U.S. banks wanting to engage with cryptocurrency faced regulatory roadblocks. But that’s changing. In a major shift, the regulator overseeing national banks has now made it clear: federally regulated banks can offer crypto services without needing prior approval.

This decision could open the doors for more banks to enter the crypto space, making digital assets more accessible than ever. But what led to this policy change?

Let’s break it down.

Crypto Custody and Stablecoins Get the Greenlight

The OCC clarified in a new interpretive letter that national banks and federal savings associations are allowed to offer crypto custody services, manage stablecoin activities, and even operate blockchain nodes.

“The OCC expects banks to have the same strong risk management controls in place to support novel bank activities as they do for traditional ones,” said Acting Comptroller of the Currency Rodney E. Hood.

This move is expected to ease pressure on banks involved in crypto, ensuring that these activities are treated consistently, regardless of the technology used.

OCC Reverses Biden-Era Crypto Restrictions

Alongside this decision, the OCC withdrew previous guidance from President Joe Biden’s administration that had imposed extra steps for banks wanting to engage in crypto. Earlier rules required banks to notify regulators, explain their risk management plans, and obtain approval before offering crypto services.

The OCC also revoked past warnings from U.S. regulators that had discouraged banks from dealing with crypto. A 2023 statement did not ban crypto activities outright but cautioned that the sector is highly volatile and would face strict oversight.

While the crypto industry welcomed the OCC’s new stance, some remain cautious. Custodia Bank CEO Caitlin Long tweeted on March 7 that “Operation Chokepoint 2.0 isn’t over” until the U.S. Federal Reserve and the FDIC also lift their anti-crypto policies.

It’s the Crypto Era Now

The announcement came on the same day as a major development from the White House. President Donald Trump signed an executive order creating a strategic reserve for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

At the White House Crypto Summit, Trump declared he was “ending Operation Chokepoint 2.0,” accusing the program of unfairly pressuring banks to cut off crypto businesses and block transfers to exchanges. He claimed the crackdown was politically motivated and was being lifted for votes rather than the right reasons.

With the OCC easing restrictions and the White House showing support for crypto, U.S. regulations on digital assets are shifting. However, with the Federal Reserve and FDIC still maintaining their policies, the fight over crypto banking is far from over.

Militia Man  Article:  "The evaluation of the central bank's policy journey for 22 years"  They wanted to go do back from 2003 because inflation was so high, it exceeded 35%, now it's 3% or 5%...Huge difference now. The stability Iraq has proven with their gold...foreign reserves ...non-oil income...taxes and tariffs...electronic system...all of that is going to support the value of their new currency.  Everything was based off just oil.  It's not going to be that way anymore.  The real effective exchange rate is going to be based off real analysis in real time, international standards rules just like Iraq has done in the past, long long time ago.

“Tidbits From TNT” Saturday Morning 3—8-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Sudanese advisor: The upcoming digital currency is easy to trade and does not differ in exchange rate

The Iraqi Prime Minister's Advisor for Economic Affairs, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, reassured that the digital currency intended to be launched in the future in Iraq is easy to trade and does not differ in exchange rate.

Mazhar Mohammed Saleh told Rudaw Media Network, "The digital currency that is intended to be introduced in the future is consistent with the general trends of central banks in the world, not just in Iraq," indicating that "the idea started with the Bank for International Settlements, which is the international bank of banks in Basel."

 He explained that "there is a project called (M. Bridge) that deals with settling financial transactions between central banks with this digital currency, so this external reflection must also be reflected internally," believing that "the central bank is more in need of entering (M. Bridge) in its settlements with the major global oil trade areas in China, India, Southeast Asia and some European countries."

 It is noteworthy that the "M Bridge" project was launched in 2021 at the initiative of the Bank for International Settlements in cooperation with China and a number of central banks, with the aim of accelerating international payments using digital currencies, reducing transaction costs and ensuring their security.

 Mazhar Muhammad Salih pointed out that “the importance of this currency is that it is generally easy to trade for banks, and it does not require what is called liquidity risks,” adding: “Theoretically, if all the currency within banks is digital, there are no risks in bank credit, no risks in money laundering, and so on.”

Al-Sudani's advisor pointed out that "90% of the monetary mass is outside the banking system, so Iraqi society deals with paper money, and it is unreasonable to immediately switch to digital currency overnight," adding that "it is the project of hope for Iraq, and is directly proportional to the progress and development of the uses of digital currency in the world, and it is equivalent and proportional in terms of value to the issued paper currency."

 Mazhar Muhammad Salih confirmed that the digital currency "does not differ from the paper currency at all, and the exchange rate does not differ with it, and there is no difference except that its efficiency is higher, and it comes in line with the development of the world, and I believe that Iraq is keeping pace with the world in this matter."  link

Tishwash:  Iraq, Finland Discuss Strengthening Economic and Investment Ties

Ambassador Mohammed Hussein Bahr Aluloom, Undersecretary of the Iraqi Foreign Ministry for Bilateral Relations, met in Helsinki with Jarno Syrjälä, Under-Secretary of State for International Trade of Finland, to discuss ways to enhance economic, trade, and investment cooperation between the two countries.

Ambassador Bahr Aluloom highlighted Iraq's economic progress, emphasizing security stability and an improved business environment, which have made Iraq an attractive destination for foreign investments. He cited the United Kingdom's decision to lower travel warnings to Iraq as an example of international confidence in Iraq's progress. The Ambassador also encouraged Finnish companies to invest in strategic projects, particularly the Development Road and the energy sector.

Under-Secretary Syrjälä welcomed Iraq's economic reforms, acknowledging their role in enhancing the investment climate. He expressed Finnish companies' interest in returning to the Iraqi market.

The two sides agreed to develop practical mechanisms to strengthen cooperation, including a delegation of Finnish companies visiting Iraq to explore investment opportunities in renewable energy, electricity, digital transformation, and artificial intelligence.   link

Tishwash:  Economist warns: Oil prices falling below $70 only cover salaries

Economic expert Nabil Al Marsomi warned of the repercussions of the decline in oil prices on the government’s financial situation, stressing that Iraq is facing an escalating financial crisis with the start of the decline in oil revenues since last February.

Al-Marsoumi told Al-Furat News Agency that "expectations of the financial crisis have begun to materialize on the ground, as the government has imposed strict restrictions on investment spending, and decided not to include new projects in the 2025 budget and to suffice with completing the current projects included in the current budget."

He pointed out that the current price of an Iraqi barrel, which is about $67, is only enough to cover about two-thirds of the general budget, explaining that "current oil revenues are allocated entirely to paying salaries and social welfare programs, while vital governing and sovereign paragraphs related to the lives of citizens and the national economy are marginalized.

Al-Marsoumi pointed out that the situation requires proactive measures to avoid the exacerbation of the crisis, calling for rationalizing public spending and strengthening non-oil sources of income to ensure the stability of public finances. link

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Friday Afternoon 3-07-25

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

U.S. GOVERNMENT CONFIRMS IT WON’T BUY XRP, ETHEREUM, OR SOLANA – BITCOIN TAKES PRIORITY!

▪The U.S. government's Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) will exclusively hold seized Bitcoin, solidifying its primary status.

▪Other seized cryptocurrencies (ETH, XRP, ADA, SOL) will be placed in a separate "Digital Asset Stockpile".

▪The government's crypto holdings are primarily derived from seizures, with Bitcoin prioritized and altcoins managed differently.

Peter Schiff has confirmed that the U.S. government will not be purchasing Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Cardano (ADA), or Solana (SOL) for its crypto holdings. Instead, the newly established Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) will hold only seized Bitcoin (BTC), reinforcing its position as the dominant digital asset. While the executive order signed today allows room for potential Bitcoin purchases, these would likely require approval from Congress.

No Crypto Reserve for Altcoins

Earlier reports had suggested that a government-backed crypto reserve might include XRP, ADA, SOL, and ETH, leading to a surge in their prices. However, the latest update clarifies that the U.S. government has created a separate Digital Asset Stockpile for these altcoins, but it will not be making any additional purchases. This stockpile will only contain assets seized through legal actions and will be managed by the Treasury.

Depending on regulations, these tokens may either be held or sold, but the government will not actively add to them.

Bitcoin Gets a Dedicated Strategic Reserve

Bitcoin, in contrast, will have its own Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR), further reinforcing its importance in government holdings. An audit set to take place within 30 days will disclose the total amount of cryptocurrency the government owns and how these assets will be categorized. The move highlights Bitcoin’s priority over other digital assets.

No New Acquisitions!

Schiff clarified that the government will not be buying additional cryptocurrencies. Any XRP, ADA, SOL, or ETH in the Digital Asset Stockpile will come solely from past forfeitures. This means no new assets will be added unless they are seized in future legal cases.

Meanwhile, blockchain data from Arkham Intelligence confirms that the U.S. government currently owns zero XRP, SOL, or ADA. This contradicts earlier speculation that a broader crypto reserve was being established.

However, some analysts, including Moon Lambo, believe the government might hold small amounts of these assets from lesser-known seizures, but if so, the holdings are likely insignificant.

What Does the Government Currently Hold?

Right now, the U.S. government holds around 200,000 BTC, obtained through various legal seizures. While Bitcoin remains the primary focus, the government also has approximately $176 million worth of ETH and $27 million worth of BNB. However, no XRP, ADA, or SOL have been confiscated, raising questions about why they were included in the stockpile designation.

So, Where Does This Leave Bitcoin?

The crypto community, particularly Bitcoin supporters, has welcomed the government’s decision, as it further separates BTC from other cryptocurrencies. This move strengthens Bitcoin’s reputation as “digital gold” and solidifies its role as a strategic asset. However, investors who had speculated that major altcoins would be included have been left disappointed.

The government’s stance on cryptocurrency is still a major topic of interest. The market will be watching closely to see if Bitcoin purchases receive approval and how the Digital Asset Stockpile will be handled.

While Bitcoin’s dominance in government holdings is clear, the future of seized altcoins remains uncertain.

DAVID SACKS EXPLAINS WHY TRUMP MENTIONED XRP, SOL, ADA: 'PEOPLE ARE READING INTO THIS A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH'

▪David Sacks downplayed speculation, stating that President Trump simply named the top five cryptocurrencies by market cap, causing major price spikes before a pullback.

▪An executive order mandates an audit of federal digital asset reserves while also opening the door to staking and portfolio management strategies.

White House AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks shed light on why President Donald Trump included XRP, Solana and Cardano in his posted comments about a U.S. crypto strategic reserve last Sunday.

Many in the industry questioned the inclusion of these particular altcoins, arguing that they lack the developer activity and decentralization seen in Bitcoin and Ethereum. Sacks' comments came after Thursday night’s executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

"Well, the president just mentioned the top five cryptocurrencies by market cap, so I think people are reading into this a little bit too much," Sacks said Friday on Bloomberg TV. "He just mentioned the top five."

Just mentioning those coins caused spikes nearing 70% last weekend before a pullback. Sacks said Friday that "we're not sure" whether the federal government owns any of those alternative cryptocurrencies, doubling down on the executive order's call for a full audit of its current reserves.

"In terms of what we'll actually have, we have to do the accounting," Sacks said. "We know it owns Bitcoin. I believe it owns some Ethereum. I'm not sure about the other ones. No one's been able to give us a straight answer yet."

The executive order directs a full accounting of the federal government’s digital asset holdings. The U.S. government possesses 198,109 BTC, worth about $17 billion at the current market price, according to the website Bitcoin Treasuries. 

The order also establishes a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, consisting of assets other than bitcoin forfeited in criminal or civil proceedings. The government will not acquire additional assets for the stockpile beyond those obtained through forfeiture proceedings.

Sacks also said the federal government could explore lending or staking on the cryptocurrencies it owns.

"The idea of this executive order is to create the mandate," Sacks said Friday. "We're going to do the audit, then we're going to move them into a separate account for safekeeping. And then the secretary of treasury and his team will be able to exercise portfolio management and long-term or responsible stewardship. And yes, that could include staking, it could include rebalancing [and] it could include sales. These are all options they can pursue if the secretary of treasury believes these are in the long-term interest of the American people."

Several leading crypto executives are set to attend a crypto summit hosted by President Trump in Washington, D.C. on Friday afternoon.

The prices of both XRP and ADA are down about 7% over the past 24 hours, according to The Block's crypto price data. SOL is holding up relatively well, down about 1.3%. Bitcoin and ether are down 2% and 2.7%, respectively, over the same timeframe.

MORE COUNTRIES READY TO JOIN BRICS ALLIANCE

India’s Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar revealed that the number of countries ready to join the BRICS alliance is growing. Speaking at a session titled ‘India’s Rise and Role in the World’ in London, Jaishankar confirmed that the bloc is encouraging developing countries to break the norm and enter a new financial territory without having to depend on the US dollar for survival.

The BRICS alliance is spearheading the de-dollarization agenda in a goal of making local currencies the world’s reserve status. The move could realign the global financial sector tilting the power from the West to the East.

Number of Countries Wanting to Join BRICS Alliance Increasing

Jaishankar emphasized that the BRICS alliance is “a very diverse group” and emerging economies find the bloc to be attractive. The unity in diversity is what’s pulling other countries towards it in a common agenda of de-dollarization. “I think clearly they must be doing something right. If so many countries want to join BRICS and so many countries actually have joined,” he said.

“South Africa joined, then it has become a double-digit membership. And in 2024, last year in Kazan, we also added dialogue partners, the concept of dialogue partners,” Jaishankar said. He explained that countries even without geographical closeness want to join the BRICS alliance.

“We are an exception to the normal rules on which groups are formed. Normally countries who approximate geographically to each other or have some particular shared history or some kind of ethnic or linguistic commonality, this is normally the basis to create a group. Now, BRICS alliance defies all those assumptions. So it’s not like the Commonwealth, it’s not like the NATO, it’s not like the G7. It’s not like anything which had been conceptualized early,” he said.

Today’s Guest: Collin Plume-Noble Gold Investments
http://noblegoldinvestments.com

Collin begins the conversation talking about how the founding fathers put gold in the constitution because it keeps government in check.

 It makes sure that the government cannot spend more than it has.

Trump is now creating the parallel economy, he is shrinking government, placing tariffs on other countries and drilling for oil. He is bringing income in from the outside instead of taking it from the people.

Gold is going to play a major role in the new economy, the golden age is not just a saying.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

TRUMP’S BITCOIN RESERVE PLAN: FUNDED BY CONFISCATED CRYPTO, NOT TAXPAYER’S WALLET

Trump orders U.S. Bitcoin reserve using seized assets, securing crypto holdings without taxpayer funds & reshaping digital finance.

U.S. Bitcoin stockpile signals global shift as other nations may race to establish their own reserves, boosting crypto adoption.

In a historic move this evening, President Donald Trump signed an executive order creating the United States’ first-ever strategic Bitcoin reserve. This major step in cryptocurrency policy is set to solidify the U.S.’s position in the growing digital asset space.

Bitcoin Reserve Without Taxpayer Funds

The executive order establishes a reserve for Bitcoin, which will be held exclusively in a digital stockpile. However, Trump’s plan does not rely on taxpayer funding. Instead, the reserve will be exclusively capitalized with Bitcoin that the federal government has confiscated through criminal and civil forfeiture cases. According to David Sacks, the White House crypto czar, this means no taxpayer dollars will be used to fund the reserve.

“The reserve will be capitalized with Bitcoin owned by the federal government that was forfeited as part of criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings,” Sacks said.

Digital Fort Knox: Long-Term Bitcoin Safeguarding

Trump said that the reserve will act as a digital equivalent of Fort Knox, safeguarding the nation’s Bitcoin holdings for the long term. In his remarks, Sacks explained the importance of this reserve, stating that previous premature sales of Bitcoin by the U.S. government have resulted in over $17 billion in lost value. This new initiative aims to prevent such losses by establishing a strategic, long-term holding strategy.

Expanding Beyond Bitcoin: U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile

In addition to the Bitcoin reserve, the executive order also includes a broader U.S. digital asset stockpile, which will include other cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum, XRP, and Solana, all of which have been seized through forfeiture proceedings. However, the government will not seek to purchase more of these digital assets unless it can do so without additional cost to taxpayers.

Global Impact: The U.S. Leads the Way

This move marks a milestone not only for the U.S. but for the entire cryptocurrency market. With the federal government committing to hold Bitcoin as a store of value, the likelihood of Bitcoin being banned by the government has dramatically decreased. Additionally, this sets the stage for other countries to establish similar Bitcoin reserves, as global competition for Bitcoin intensifies.

Strategic Reserve: Preserving and Maximizing Value

The strategic reserve will not involve any immediate sales or purchases of Bitcoin, as it focuses on preserving and maximizing the value of assets already acquired by the government. The executive order also directs a full audit of the U.S. government’s existing digital asset holdings, with a focus on ensuring responsible stewardship under the Treasury Department.

Industry insiders have reacted positively to the news, with many viewing this move as a precursor to future institutional and state-level adoption of Bitcoin. As this strategy unfolds, experts predict that other nations will closely monitor the U.S.’s approach and may follow suit in creating their own strategic Bitcoin reserves.

The announcement comes just ahead of the White House Crypto Summit, where policymakers and industry leaders will discuss the future of digital assets and the regulatory framework surrounding them. With the U.S. leading the way in government-held Bitcoin reserves, the global crypto landscape is poised for a major transformation.

CARDANO’S CHARLES HOSKINSON REACTS TO WHITE HOUSE CRYPTO SUMMIT SNUB

Hoskinson focuses on legislative progress, unfazed by his absence from Trump's crypto summit.

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has revealed that he was not invited to the upcoming White House Crypto Summit on March 7.

His exclusion has sparked discussions, especially since the blockchain network’s ADA token is included in US President Donald Trump’s proposed crypto reserve.

No White House invite

In a March 6 broadcast, Hoskinson revealed that he had not received an invitation to the highly anticipated crypto event.

According to him:

“We did not get an invitation on Monday. We did not get an invitation on Tuesday. We did not get an invitation today on Wednesday. So I’m going to operate under the assumption I have not been invited to go to this gathering.”

Hoskinson downplayed the event’s significance, suggesting it might not involve meaningful policy discussions. He argued that real policy work happens within the legislative branch, where he has collaborated with lawmakers over the years.

He reaffirmed his commitment to pushing for regulatory clarity through legislative engagement, particularly on key bills related to stablecoins and market structure.

Despite his absence, several key figures in the crypto industry have confirmed their attendance. Among them are Michael Saylor, Chairman of Strategy—the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin—along with Brian Armstrong of Coinbase, Arjun Sethi of Kraken, and Vlad Tenev of Robinhood.

ADA in crypto reserve

Meanwhile, Hoskinson’s exclusion is particularly striking given that ADA has been listed as part of Trump’s proposed crypto reserve.

The president recently announced plans to create a reserve featuring Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano. He is expected to outline his strategy for this initiative at the event.

The Cardano founder admitted that he was unaware of ADA’s inclusion until the news broke.

According to him:

“We knew nothing of ADA being selected for the reserve. It was news to me. I woke up on Sunday, looked at my phone, and I had over one hundred fifty messages saying congratulations, great job, and I had no idea what the heck was going on.”

Free-Fall In The Banking System Across The Globe | David Hunter

Liberty and Finance:  3-7-2025

David Hunter discusses his view on an impending global market "free-fall" and the financial crisis that could surpass the 2008 recession.

 He predicts the end of a 43-year secular bull market in stocks, followed by a sharp, parabolic final stage in the market before a drastic downturn.

Hunter emphasizes that the global banking system is at risk, with potential widespread bank failures contributing to a financial bust.

While the Federal Reserve may initially ease rates, Hunter foresees a massive increase in its balance sheet as it combats the crisis, with a likely surge in bond purchases and the possibility of negative short-term bond yields.

Ultimately, he believes precious metals like gold and silver will thrive in the aftermath of the bust, marking the beginning of a new cycle driven by inflation and money printing.

Tishwash:  Reconstruction: Iraq receives international offers to invest in new residential cities 

The New Cities Implementation Authority, affiliated with the Ministry of Construction and Housing, confirmed the referral of residential cities in 5 governorates with “integrated” designs, and also confirmed the arrival of international offers to invest in the new residential cities.

The head of the authority, Hamid Abdul Hamad, said in a statement followed by "Ultra Iraq", that "the first phase included the establishment of 5 new cities that were announced, referred, and started, and reached different stages. There are also other cities that were announced, which are 6 cities, and the announcement period will end during the current month, including the city of Mutanabbi in Wasit, the new city of Balad, the city of Salam in the new Najaf, Ur in Nasiriyah, Warka in Samawah, and another city in Al-Majar Al-Kabir, south of Maysan."

Hamad added, "A number of countries have come forward to invest in the new cities through joint companies, including Iraqi, foreign and Arab companies, such as Al-Jawahiri City, which is being implemented in partnership between an Iraqi and Chinese investor, and Al-Ghazlani City in Mosul, which is being implemented in partnership with an Iraqi-Chinese partnership, and on the banks of Karbala in partnership with a Malaysian entity and various Iraqi companies with Arab and foreign banks, in addition to Ali Al-Wardi City for a global investor and Aura Company." 

Hamad stressed that “these cities were designed in a way that makes them integrated in all activities, whether housing or other economic activities,” indicating that “the Nahrawan residential city will be implemented on an area of ​​80,000 dunums, and in several models. The first is to establish different cities with different areas, and develop infrastructure through investment while guaranteeing a share for the state, and this is one of the facilities if the citizen thinks of buying land that is served in all aspects.”  link

Tishwash:  Washington demands that Iraq dispense with Iranian energy "as soon as possible"

The US State Department called on Iraq to end its dependence on Iranian energy sources "as soon as possible," hours after Washington announced its intention to tighten sanctions on Tehran.

In response to a question about the exemptions granted to Iraq, and whether they would be renewed, the Foreign Ministry indicated that it is reviewing all exemptions granted, according to Reuters.

Iraq currently produces 27,000 megawatts of electricity through stations, most of which operate on gas, but the production capacity sometimes drops to 17,000 megawatts.

This amount, at its maximum, does not meet the country's electricity needs, as Iraq needs to increase production to reach 40,000 megawatts in order to ensure the provision of energy around the clock.

To solve this crisis, Iraq resorted to importing quantities of Iranian gas, which threatened to expose it to US sanctions, before the United States granted it an exemption that is renewed periodically.

With US President Donald Trump returning to power, he pledged to pursue a policy of "maximum pressure" against Iran. As a result, the Iraqi government asked the new US administration to extend the waiver granted by the previous administration, according to previous statements by Al-Sudani in an interview with the Saudi Al-Sharq channel.

Al-Sudani had touched on the issue of ending dependence on Iranian supplies during the interview, noting that the country plans to completely end gas imports by 2028, adding: “There will be clear energy independence.”

He continued: "Ultimately, we need this exception to continue throughout this period. At the same time, we have started the process of linking energy with neighboring countries in order to cover our needs, and this is part of the concept of integration that we seek with our brothers."

This is not the first statement of its kind, but rather comes just days after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, where they discussed Iranian influence in the region, and Rubio urged Iraq to "achieve energy independence."

The new US statement may not mean that Washington will not renew the exemption granted to Iraq, but it indicates increased pressure on Baghdad to get rid of these supplies.

The comments come hours after US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant confirmed that the US would tighten sanctions on Iran, adding that the US would “shut down” the country’s oil sector using “pre-determined criteria and timelines.” He hinted that “making Iran bankrupt again would be the beginning of our updated sanctions policy.”

The Treasury secretary suggested that the United States could work with “regional actors” to help Iran get its oil to market. One of those countries is likely to be Russia, which earlier this week signaled its willingness to help the United States in talks with Iran over ending its nuclear program and its support for anti-American regional proxies.

“Treasury is prepared to engage in frank discussions with these countries,” Bessent said. “We will work to shut down Iran’s oil sector and drone manufacturing capabilities.” link

Tishwash:  Parliamentary Committee Calls on Government to Refer Oil and Gas Law to Parliament Immediately

The Deputy Chairman of the Parliamentary Oil and Gas Committee, Adnan Al-Jaberi, called on the government today, Thursday, to expedite the referral of the Oil and Gas Law to the Council of Representatives, stressing that its legislation is an essential step to regulate the management of oil wealth and ensure the fair distribution of revenues between the federal government and the producing regions and governorates.

Al-Jaberi said in a statement to / Al-Maalouma / agency, that "the legislation of the Oil and Gas Law is a necessary step to regulate the management of oil and gas wealth in Iraq," noting that "this law will contribute to guaranteeing the rights of the producing regions and governorates, in addition to developing a clear strategy for investing these resources in the long term."

He explained, "The law will protect oil wealth from different interpretations and interpretations, whether in the Kurdistan Region or in the producing governorates, and will work to resolve the existing differences between the federal government and the regional government, and control the relationship between the producing governorates and the center."

He pointed out that "Article 112 of the Iraqi Constitution stipulates the necessity of regulating the oil and gas sector through the enactment of a special law, but the lack of a common vision and agreement between the federal government and the Kurdistan Region, as well as between the producing provinces and Baghdad, has prevented its approval so far.

" He stressed "the importance of reaching a consensus that guarantees the rights of all parties," calling on the government to "refer the law to the Council of Representatives as soon as possible to ensure the fair and equitable regulation of oil revenues."

It is noteworthy that the approval of the oil and gas law was delayed for several parliamentary sessions due to political differences that prevented reaching a consensus on it. link

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

U.S. CRYPTO RESERVE NEWS: DONALD TRUMP TO REVEAL BITCOIN STRATEGY TOMORROW!

After doubts over Bitcoin reserve plans and fading sentiment, the market is buzzing again as Trump prepares to unveil a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve at the White House Crypto Summit on March 7. 

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed a national crypto strategy is in the works, sparking speculation on whether the U.S. will buy more Bitcoin or hold its 200,000 BTC. Bitcoin has reacted strongly, rebounding to $90K after dropping to $ 82 K.

Let’s dive into the Altcoin Daily analysis on Trump’s Bitcoin Strategic Reserve and what it means for you.

A National Crypto Reserve in the Making

Trump’s announcement has ignited speculation that the reserve may extend beyond Bitcoin. A Truth Social post hinted at a broader “National Crypto Reserve,” fueling discussions that Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Cardano could be included.

While it’s uncertain if the government will buy these altcoins, speculation is growing that they might be accepted through donations. This could pave the way for major crypto firms to contribute assets in exchange for regulatory clarity and potential future advantages.

Crypto Leaders Gather at the White House

The White House Crypto Summit boasts a star-studded lineup, highlighting the weight of Trump’s initiative. Confirmed attendees include Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor, Bitcoin Magazine’s David Bailey, and Chainlink’s Sergey Nazarov, along with CEOs from Coinbase, Kraken, Robinhood, and Crypto.com. 

Key government officials, including acting SEC and CFTC chairs, will also be present. Unconfirmed reports hint at appearances from Solana’s Anatoly Yakovenko, Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson, and Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin. The event’s high-profile nature underscores a serious move toward shaping the U.S. crypto strategy.

How Will the U.S. Fund This Move?
Michael Saylor, in a recent interview, suggested that while Trump could issue an executive order to set the framework, actual purchases might require congressional approval. However, an alternative strategy exists. The Federal Reserve holds gold certificates valued at 1970s prices.

 By selling these and converting the proceeds into Bitcoin at current market rates, the U.S. could accumulate a significant BTC reserve without new spending.

A Turning Point for Crypto Regulation?

Altcoin Daily analyst suggests that Trump’s upcoming announcement could shake up the entire crypto market. Just before Trump’s statements, a trader made a massive $200 million bet on crypto and has also named himself March 7, raising questions about whether they had inside information.

While the announcement might not reveal the full plan, analysts believe it could give a clearer picture of how the U.S. government plans to deal with crypto in the future. At this point, it’s not about whether the U.S. will create a Bitcoin reserve—it’s about whether it will focus only on Bitcoin or include other cryptocurrencies as well.

On the flip side, Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko dismissed the idea of an SOL reserve, warning that government control would undermine decentralization. However, he reassured the Solana community, stating that if there’s a goal to achieve, the ecosystem will rise to the challenge.

INDIA OFFICIALLY DISMISSES BRICS CURRENCY, PRAISES THE US DOLLAR

The Modi government is placing a ledge on the de-dollarization ideals and making way for the US dollar to thrive. BRICS member India has once again rejected the prospects of a new currency and praised the US dollar for maintaining global stability. India’s Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar spoke in favor of the US dollar sidelining the idea of launching a new currency on the global stage.

India is the only country in the bloc that is moving away from the formation of a new common currency. BRICS members Russia, China, and Iran are aggressively pursuing the agenda to topple the US dollar from the world’s reserve currency status. 

The alliance is now divided as India is stepping aside and Brazil also revealed that they plan to drop the idea of a BRICS currency.

India Wants the US Dollar & Not BRICS Currency

Speaking at a session titled ‘India’s Rise and Role in the World’ in London, Jaishankar confirmed that they’re not interested in BRICS currency. “I don’t think there’s any policy on our part to replace the US dollar. As I said, at the end of the day, the dollar as the reserve currency is the source of international economic stability. And right now, what we want in the world is more economic stability, not less,” he said.

The statement from Jaishankar is at odds with what Russia, China, and Iran intend to streamline the alliance. India is on a different path and has openly embraced the US dollar rejecting the prospects of a BRICS currency. The move will make it tougher to launch a common currency as the decisions of the bloc are based.

The formation of a new BRICS currency could take longer than expected due to the ongoing divisions. In conclusion, the de-dollarization agenda might not take off in the coming years making the US dollar reign supreme for longer.

Iraq now says it is waiting on Kurdistan to give them the go. Now that they are a few days away from leaving the control of Iran over their energy sector by March 8th.

 They have become much more confident that their 2025 budget will benefit their economy since all revenue will now be counted in their domestic currency.

Which will give their currency more value. And they will become a economic powerhouse.

 Not to mention Turkey confirmed Ceyhan Port is ready; and pipeline inspections are now completed and ready for operational usage.

And it was already stated that KRG must transfer oil to SOMO under new budget amendments. So we now know they are ready to go international at any time now. Forex market is about to get a new member on the trading block.

Militia Man  The Development Road project has global support and that is clear as day to me.  What we see today, Iraq is ready for their revaluation of their currency.  Why...?  Inflation levels - low.  Interest rates high globally, which is good, key.  Economic performance of their GDP, which they're going to grow, which is huge. Foreign investment and government policies in place for investors.  And overall market sentiment.  A countries currency is revalued when its economic strength is perceived right.

Frank26   Look at the 8 oil companies that do not want to start the flow of the oil.  Ask yourself, why?  IMO the answer is because the new exchange rate has not been revealed to them yet.  Sudani protects it until he is ready...If and when the oil starts flowing, it should be with the same new exchange rate that is in the budget...This oil cannot flow at 1310.  It's literally impossible mathematically let alone financially...

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

ESMA ACCUSED OF OVERREACH RE NON-EU CRYPTO PROVIDER GUIDANCE

Last Thursday Europe’s Target2 (T2) and Target2 Securities (T2S) interbank payment systems went down throughout normal business hours.

The European Central Bank (ECB) extended operating hours until midnight, as the system only came back online at 18:00, when the real time gross settlement (RTGS) would usually be taking its last instructions. It’s a relatively rare failure, but not unheard off – another outage of similar scale happened in October 2020.

There was one critical difference. The 2020 outage was on a slow Friday afternoon. This year’s was the day before month end, a busy time for both mainstream payments and securities settlement.

If there were a wholesale central bank digital currency (wCBDC) system, similar to the Banque de France’s DL3S, would that help to provide redundancy? At this stage our analysis is only ‘maybe’ and it will take a while.

Database failures and blockchain redundancy

At first the ECB identified a database error. Hence, it initially thought it couldn’t switch to the failover location because it was corrupted. Late in the day it found the problem was “an infrastructure component,” which we’d assume means a hardware failure. Hence, the database was switched to the failover location and the system was restarted after checks.

Without using blockchain, it’s possible to replicate databases in real time. That’s the way most large internet systems work. And from the description, we believe T2 does this.

Until recently, the approach used to be referred to as a master and slave database, which while politically incorrect, describes the relationship more clearly than primary and secondary.

If the primary database has been corrupted in some way, the replicated database is a copy that’s in exactly the same state. However, if one can identify a point (or transaction) where the problem starts, it’s often possible to roll back a few transactions on the replica, and get up and running from there.

By contrast, a blockchain works differently. Like database replications, there are multiple nodes. 

But it provides redundancy because in the case of validating nodes (which can write to the ledger), each node’s ledger contents are not just copied from the primary ledger, they’re independently created based on transaction verifications. A bogus transaction can get approved by all nodes, but is likely to be deliberate.

The two bucket metaphor

An imperfect analogy is havings two taps, each with a bucket. In the replicated database case, one bucket has a flow of water and reaches a certain level.

The second bucket then has a tap that automatically switches on and aims to get to the same level. By then, the first tap is already filling up further.

In the blockchain case, the taps would drip water into their respective buckets in a synchronized fashion at the same rate.

However, blockchains aren’t really designed for situations where just one party (the central bank) writes transactions. If the sole purpose is redundancy, it’s a significant overhead to run a blockchain system that has to arrive at a consensus between nodes in order to write to multiple separate databases.

On the other hand, if there’s another purpose, such as enabling atomic settlement for securities transactions and programmability, then it might just be worth it.

The ECB has other redundancies

The ECB already has multiple strategies for T2 redundancy. In addition to the failover location, there’s also the Enhanced Contingency Solution II (ECONS II). However, it does not have the same level of functionality as T2, so it was only used for foreign exchange payments to CLS and margin calls by central counterparties (CCPs).

If something like France’s wCBDC had been in production, it would still need to tokenize money transferred from the RTGS (or escrowed) in order to function. 

So in the first instance, if T2 was down, the wCBDC might also be out of action. If ECONS II were allowed to be used for banks  to top up their wCBDC balances, then banks could potentially make some settlements that way. But ECONS II often requires additional collateral from banks.

There’s a much bigger reason why a wCBDC – in the early stages – is unlikely to help with redundancy. wCBDC systems are not designed to clone the functionality of an RTGS.

They usually have specific purposes targeted at the settlement of transactions relating to tokenized assets, whether that’s a digital bond or the interbank settlement of tokenized deposits. Hence, their integration with commercial bank systems will be focused on these functionalities alone.

That said, if there were a tokenized deposit system that was up and running with most banks onboarded, in a crisis it might be possible to switch to tokenized deposits and wCBDC as a primary solution for payments. But we’re currently a way off from that happening.

ECB CUTS INTEREST RATES TO 2.65% – WHAT IT MEANS FOR MARKETS & CRYPTO

▪The European Central Bank has reduced key interest rates to 2.65% to stimulate economic growth.

▪While lower rates may boost markets, inflation remains a concern, and bond market volatility suggests potential instability.

▪Geopolitical factors and internal ECB divisions make future rate cut timelines and impacts unpredictable.

The European Central Bank (ECB) has cut interest rates to 2.65%, down from its previous peak of 4.5%. This move follows a global trend where central banks are easing financial policies to support economic growth. In the U.S., traders expect at least three rate cuts from the Federal Reserve in 2025, while Germany and China are using government spending to keep their economies stable.

ECB’s Rate Cut: What Changed?

According to the ECB’s statement, key interest rates have been reduced by 0.25 percentage points. The deposit facility rate is now 2.50%, the main refinancing rate 2.65%, and the marginal lending rate 2.90%. These changes take effect on March 12, 2025.

Lower interest rates typically increase the flow of money, which can boost stock markets and riskier assets like cryptocurrencies. Analysts believe this easing cycle could push crypto prices higher, despite concerns over slowing economic growth. However, some worry that cutting rates too aggressively could cause long-term issues, especially since inflation in Europe is still above the ECB’s 2% target.

Bond Markets in Chaos

The bond market has already responded. Germany’s 10-year government bond yield has surged to 2.8%, its highest level in over a decade. This has narrowed the gap between German and U.S. bond yields, putting downward pressure on the U.S. dollar. The situation is similar to market shifts seen during Donald Trump’s first term, when global financial changes impacted currency values.

Meanwhile, U.K. bond yields have also risen, now surpassing those of the U.S. In Japan, the country’s 10-year bond yield has reached 1.5%, its highest in 17 years. The Bank of Japan, which recently raised interest rates after years of keeping them low, is now struggling to keep inflation in check.

Will Crypto Benefit From Lower Rates?

While the ECB’s rate cut may provide short-term relief, financial markets remain uncertain. If bond market volatility continues, investors might be more cautious with riskier assets like cryptocurrencies. While lower interest rates usually benefit crypto, sudden market changes could still bring instability.

Uncertainty Ahead: Inflation, Politics, and Growth Risks

Market analyst Max Wienke notes that while the ECB is expected to cut rates further, the outlook remains unclear. Inflation in the Eurozone has dropped slightly to 2.4%, which supports more rate cuts. However, unpredictable factors—such as Trump’s trade policies and the ongoing Ukraine war—add complexity. Divisions within the ECB are also growing, making it harder to predict the pace of future cuts.

The key concern is balancing inflation control with economic growth: aggressive easing could fuel inflation, while slow cuts might weaken recovery.

BREAKING: TEXAS SENATE PASSES BITCOIN RESERVE BILL

This marks a major breakthrough for state-level SBR bills that so far have struggled to gain traction.

The Texas Senate has just voted in favor of a strategic Bitcoin reserve bill (SBR). The bill (SB21) has passed in a 25-5 vote. This marks a significant breakthrough for state-level SBR bills after some other states rejected them in quick succession.        

Senator Charles Schwertner has stated that Bitcoin has proven itself to be "the most preferred because of its limited supply and adaptability."

The SB21 bill, which was originally filed on Feb. 12, stipulates that the reserve would be funded from appropriations, revenues as well as donations. It does not set a specific investment limit. 

It allows investing in Bitcoin or an altcoin that has a market capitalization of at least $500 billion.  Overall, more than 20 states have already introduced state-level SBR bills.
