SEC STAFF READY TO ‘WORK EARNESTLY’ TOWARD A FRAMEWORK FOR CRYPTO REGULATION, SAYS COMMISSIONER HESTER PEIRCE

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is ready to reset its relationship with the crypto industry, according to Commissioner Hester Peirce.

The SEC’s new “Crypto Task Force” held its inaugural roundtable event on Friday, which brought together regulators, private-sector lawyers and digital asset firm executives.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

At the event, Peirce, a longtime crypto advocate, spoke of “a restart of the Commission’s approach to crypto regulation.”

“The formation of the Crypto Task Force gave permission to staff in the building to work earnestly towards a workable framework for crypto regulation, and staff have responded with palpable enthusiasm. The enthusiasm in this room is also palpable, so let us seize the moment and have a meaningful conversation today.

This room is full of people—on the panel, on the Crypto Task Force, on the Commission staff, and in the audience—who are ready for [the] sprint ahead. People have been talking, thinking, and writing about the issues with which we are now wrestling. The roundtable series will allow us to explore the issues collaboratively.”

Peirce leads the Crypto Task Force, which launched in January. The commissioner said last month that the team is currently working on questions related to the security status, public offerings, custody and secondary market trading of crypto assets.

RIPPLE LAWSUIT NEWS: SEC DROPS CASE, BUT HERE’S THE WORST CASE SCENARIO

Ripple’s recent legal victory over the SEC has caused a huge stir in the crypto world. After a long legal battle, the SEC dropped its lawsuit against Ripple, which has left the industry buzzing with excitement. This decision marks a huge shift in how regulators will handle digital assets in the U.S., and it could set an important precedent for future cases.

Jeremy Hogan, a legal expert, provided a detailed breakdown of the current situation, explaining that while the SEC has dropped its appeal, it’s still unclear if Ripple has agreed to the same.

He said that the judgment from Judge Torres, which includes a $125 million penalty and an injunction, is the worst case scenario for Ripple. Here’s what could happen next:

1. Ripple could continue appealing, seeking a court ruling on whether investment contracts require formal agreements.

2. Ripple might agree to drop its appeal, returning the case to the trial court where both sides could try to amend the judgment.

3. Ripple could drop its appeal and come to a private agreement with the SEC without modifying the judgment.

4. Ripple might just pay the $125 million and move on without further legal action.

This outcome could have lasting effects on the crypto industry, as the SEC’s decision to back off from its aggressive stance signals a potential shift toward more clear and balanced regulatory guidelines

The legal victory clears a major roadblock for Ripple and sets the stage for the company to continue its mission of revolutionizing cross-border payments.

It also suggests a future where digital assets may be regulated under clearer rules, creating opportunities for growth in the industry. If Ripple can maintain this momentum, it could be a game-changer for the crypto space and offer a new path forward for digital currencies.

7 Useful Pieces Of Money Advice From People Who Started Their Own Business

Casey Clark Mon, March 17, 2025 HuffPost Life

Money can be a scary topic for a lot of people. Perhaps you don’t even know where to even start when it comes to managing finances and keeping yourself afloat. But there’s one group who needs to nail down financial literacy in order to thrive: people with their own businesses. Without it, they may not earn a living or see success with their endeavor.

We spoke with small business owners about money advice they have for anyone hoping to get a handle on finances, whether you’re a business owner yourself or someone simply looking to try to improve your own personal bank account. Here’s what they suggest:

7 Useful Pieces Of Money Advice From People Who Started Their Own Business

Casey Clark Mon, March 17, 2025 HuffPost Life

1. Make and understand your budget.

Erika Kullberg, an attorney and founder of Erika.com, told HuffPost that having a budget is paramount to success in both business and life.

“Your compensation can fluctuate, so it’s important to understand your cash flow and budget to make sure you’re saving for emergencies and retirement,” she said.

At the most basic level, you should budget for the necessities including housing, transportation, food and health care. Once you have the essentials covered, look at what’s left to budget for buckets like entertainment, subscriptions and savings. The key is knowing every dollar that goes in and out of your account.This guide on making a budget is a good place to start.

2. Educate yourself on tax breaks.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, employee or a freelancer, it’s important to remember what tax benefits are available to you.

“This will allow you to keep more of your money so you can pay off any debt and save for retirement,” Kullberg said.

For example, if you have your own business, there are certain expenses ― like office supplies, travel costs and moving expenses ― you can write off in your taxes, which can help in the long run. For non-business owners, there are certain credits you can account for as well, such as having children or donating to a charity. A financial advisor will typically be able to help educate you on what tax breaks you’re entitled to based on your income and individual situation.

If you don’t want to spend money on an accountant or financial advisor, there are free resources online that can be helpful. NerdWallet and The Balance are two websites that have information on taxes, investing, budgeting and more that you can view for free. There are also content creators like Vivian Tu who make videos with information about financial literacy and the economy in an easily digestible manner.

Iraq Economic News and Points to Ponder Sunday AM 3-23-25

Economist: Government Measures Are Insufficient To Resolve The Dollar Exchange Rate Crisis In Iraq

Time: 2025/03/22 Read: 1,515 times {Economic: Al Furat News} Economic expert Basem Jamil Antoine confirmed today, Saturday, that the dollar exchange rate in Iraq is witnessing significant fluctuations, especially with the approach of Eid and the increase in shopping activity.

Antoine told Al Furat News Agency, "There are many factors that influence price stability, such as supply and demand, in addition to the psychological and social factors that drive the market."

Economist: Government Measures Are Insufficient To Resolve The Dollar Exchange Rate Crisis In Iraq

He added, "These factors make it difficult to accurately measure the exchange rate," stressing that "current government measures are not sufficient to solve the problem. Rather, in-depth studies are needed that address all the economic and psychological dimensions of this crisis." LINK

Iraq Affirms Its Commitment To The Principles Of The Arab League

Saturday, March 22, 2025 Iraq's commitment to the principles of the League of Arab States and its support for its efforts to enhance Arab solidarity and defend just causes, foremost among which is the Palestinian cause.

A statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: "On the 80th anniversary of the founding of the League of Arab States, Iraq, as one of the founding states, affirms its commitment to the principles of the League and its support for its efforts to enhance Arab solidarity and defend just causes, foremost among which is the Palestinian cause."

The statement added that "the Ministry commends the important role played by the League in light of regional and international challenges," calling for "developing mechanisms for joint Arab action and enhancing economic and social integration, in a way that enhances the position of the Arab nation and achieves the aspirations of its peoples."

The Ministry affirmed, according to the statement, "its aspiration for a more cooperative future among Arab countries," noting "the Republic of Iraq's readiness to contribute effectively to achieving the League's goals and consolidating joint Arab action." /End https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=1193396

His Excellency The Governor Of The Central Bank - Zaid Al-Hilli

March 22, 2025 Open mouth, closed mouth

His Excellency the Governor of the Central Bank - Zaid Al-Hilli
I would not have intended to address this appeal directly to Your Excellency, as I am convinced that you are a man known for your humanity and that you understand the implications of this appeal.

However, the numerous inquiries and appeals received from hundreds, perhaps thousands, of citizens in the media, including our newspaper, have prompted us to issue this appeal. We are hopeful that you will make your just decision during these blessed days of the holy month.

To summarize, there are private banks that failed to perform their duties for a variety of reasons we don't have the business of mentioning. This prompted the Central Bank to place them under its guardianship. Shareholders and depositors were delighted with the guardianship decision, hoping to rectify the situation of these banks and return them to strong operation. However, the matter took too long and became a disaster for citizens.

Citizens affected by the guardianship decision have been making intensive and persistent appeals to the media, even threatening to organize demonstrations to make their voices heard.

The phenomenon of placing many private banks under the guardianship of the Central Bank has begun to appear as a punishment for citizens who deposited their money or purchased shares in banks originally licensed by the Central Bank itself and established under valid government laws.

The "guillotine" of guardianship has eroded the remaining capital of these banks through rent payments, electricity and water bills, generator costs, employee salaries, and maintenance, all at the expense of the remaining funds of depositors and stockholders.

These are banks that are both open and closed! I ask: Wouldn't it be reasonable to end this anomalous situation, liquidate these companies, and distribute the remaining funds—which are a small amount—according to the creditors' apportionment system, instead of letting everything be lost, as happened with the Basra International Bank and others?

I have great hope in your wisdom and your usual humanity, because I believe that the prolonged guardianship situation may turn into a public opinion issue, although it is easy to solve.

Please, do not leave people alone to face this ordeal, some of whom are orphans, so rush to help those who have lost a small part of their savings, especially since we are in the last days of the blessed Ramadan. And be certain, Your Excellency, that the hand of charity is never empty, but rather God fills it with the blessings of giving.

Please accept my highest respect and appreciation. LINK

Washington Calls On Erbil To Expedite The Export Of Kurdistan's Oil

The US advisor's request came during a phone call he made Friday evening with Kurdistan Regional Government Prime Minister Masrour Barzani to discuss "ways to strengthen relations between the Kurdistan Region and Iraq with the United States," according to a statement from the regional government.

Waltz and Barzani agreed on the "need to expedite the formation of the new Kurdistan Regional Government cabinet and reiterated their commitment to resuming Kurdistan Region oil exports as soon as possible." LINK

Oil Expert: Oil Prices Rising To $72 Will Have A Positive Impact On The Iraqi Economy

Time: 2025/03/22 12:16:56 Read: 1,275 times Economic: Al Furat News} Oil expert Hamza Al Jawahiri confirmed today, Saturday, that recording oil prices and Brent at an average of $72 per barrel has a positive impact on the prices of Basra crude and Iraqi oil in general.
Al-Jawahiri explained in a statement to Al-Furat News Agency, "Heavy Basra crude may be less valuable, but the rise in the prices of Brent crude and oil in general contributes to raising the value of the remaining Iraqi crudes."

Al-Jawahiri pointed out that "these prices are considered safe and good for the Iraqi economic situation," explaining that "any increase above $70 per barrel is safe and does not pose any economic problems for Iraq." LINK

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

SEC HOLDS FIRST CRYPTO ROUNDTABLE TO REASSESS REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

Despite presenting contrasting arguments, advocates and skeptics conceded that crypto needs regulatory clarity in the US.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) held its first crypto task force roundtable on March 21 to discuss regulation, which ended in a consensus that crypto needs regulatory clarity in the US despite diverging views among the panelists.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Panelists ranged from crypto advocates to skeptics and the session focused on longstanding debates, including the classification of digital assets and the limits of existing securities laws in addressing decentralized technologies.

Advocates defended decentralization as a gauge for determining whether a token is a security. At the same time, skeptics argued that the current definition by the Howey test works, as the SEC won more motions than lost.

The event marked a shift in tone from the SEC under former Chair Gary Gensler, who frequently characterized most crypto tokens as securities and pursued enforcement actions against major firms.

Legal definitions and the scope of securities law

Discussions extended to what characteristics of digital assets, if any, justify different treatment under the law. Crypto advocates at the event suggested that beyond asking whether something is a security, the more relevant question may be whether certain securities merit exemptive relief.

Proponents argued that one possible differentiator is the degree of control exerted by issuers, a concept that better captures the decentralized nature of many blockchain networks.

Lee Reiners, a lecturing fellow at the Duke Financial Economics Center, said that all panelists agree that Bitcoin (BTC) is not a security because it is sufficiently decentralized.

However, he added that drawing a line to define if something is sufficiently decentralized or an investment contract is impossible, citing a Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) report that divides decentralization by spectrums based on different aspects.

Investor risk and statutory authority

Skeptics of the crypto industry presented contrasting perspectives. Former SEC enforcement official John Reed Stark and the most vocal critic maintained that the agency’s responsibility is to protect investors who purchase digital assets.

Additionally, crypto critics argued that the Howey Test remains a sufficient legal standard and that the SEC’s track record of litigation success affirms its interpretive authority. Stark suggested that there is no need to reinvent the framework.

Despite these divisions, participants generally agreed that clearer definitions and regulatory consistency would benefit the industry and the SEC’s oversight responsibilities.

The roundtable represents the first in a series of efforts to modernize the agency’s stance on crypto markets while balancing investor protection with technological innovation. It signals the beginning of the regulator’s reassessment process.

RIPPLE PUSHES SEC WITH 3-STEP PLAN FOR CLEAR CRYPTO REGULATIONS

▪️Ripple criticizes past SEC leadership for creating regulatory confusion and urges a return to clear, existing securities laws.

▪️Ripple proposes the SEC focus on enforcing established laws, not creating new ones, to provide clarity for the crypto market.

▪️With the SEC dropping its appeal, the Ripple lawsuit nears resolution, highlighting the need for defined crypto regulations.

Ripple is calling on the SEC to finally bring clarity to crypto regulations. The company argues that unclear rules have caused confusion for years, making it harder for businesses and investors to navigate the industry.

This comes after Hester Peirce, head of the SEC’s Crypto Task Force, asked the public for input on how crypto assets should be classified. Her request, titled “There must be some way out of here,” signals an effort to fix the mess left by past SEC leadership.

But Ripple isn’t holding back. The company has strongly criticized the SEC’s previous approach, calling it inconsistent, overly complicated, and legally weak.

Now, Ripple is laying out a clear plan to cut through the confusion – one that could finally bring long-overdue regulatory clarity.

Ripple Criticizes Previous SEC Leadership

In its response, Ripple strongly criticized the SEC’s former chairman, Gary Gensler arguing that the agency’s past approach to crypto regulation was unclear, overly complicated, and lacked legal support. Ripple suggested that the SEC intentionally created confusion to hide its failure to follow proper legal processes.

To fix this, Ripple outlined three key steps the SEC should take to improve regulatory clarity.

Ripple’s Three-Step Plan for Clearer Regulations

1. Focus on True Securities
Ripple believes the SEC should only regulate assets that legally qualify as securities under federal law. The company argued that many digital assets, especially those that do not generate profit or yield, should not be classified as securities.

2. Enforce Existing Laws Instead of Creating New Ones
Ripple urged the SEC to stick to the laws already in place instead of introducing new rules that could create further confusion. The company stressed that only Congress has the power to make new laws, and the SEC should focus on enforcing existing regulations.

3. Provide Clear Guidelines
Ripple called on the SEC to take a more transparent approach to crypto regulations. It praised the SEC’s decision to clarify that meme coins are not securities, saying such clear guidance helps reduce uncertainty in the market. Ripple is now pushing for similar clarity across the entire crypto industry.

Ripple vs. SEC Lawsuit Nears Its End

Meanwhile, the long-running legal battle between Ripple and the SEC is close to wrapping up. The SEC has dropped its appeal against Ripple, leaving only Ripple’s cross-appeal as the final step. Many legal experts believe Ripple will withdraw its appeal once a favorable agreement with the SEC is reached.

After years of regulatory chaos, the SEC and Ripple might finally be on the same page. The real question is: will crypto finally get the clarity it deserves?

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 3-20-25

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. It's Thursday, March 20. Happy first day of spring to everybody and you're listening to the big call. Thanks for tuning in again all over the world. We're glad to have you, and we're looking forward to having a good call tonight.

So let's do this. Let's talk about where we are on the Intel front.

And I don't have quite as complete the intel that I was hoping to get this afternoon. We've lost connection with my one of my sources that I don't know, I will probably from tonight after the call, that is typical, sometimes, if we lose contact during the day.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 3-20-25

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps

So let's do this. Let's talk about where we are on the Intel front.

But here's the thing, what we have is what we were expecting was for everything to start this day with notifications. Now, here's what appears to be happening. At our last discussion about rates and about screens, we had the Forex with the new currencies that are all up in value. There's 18 total that are going up in value. Those rates were populating on all screens.

Forex with the rates linking, moving up and down, populating coming in, going up and all that. And then same thing on bank screen, same thing on redemption center screens.

And what we had understood was, if those rates are solid by last night, before midnight, then we would be good to go today. Well, I'm not sure that they all filled in to solid rates. Okay?

So then we thought, Well, okay, let's see what happens today, and let's see if those rates become solid during the day or by midnight tonight. All right?

And then we had information that showed, okay, yeah, the Forex rates directly are tied to and affect the rates at the banks, but redemption center rates, which is what we're all going for, redemption center rates are not directly tied to the forex and therefore can be put up at whatever rates the countries decide when the redemption centers are going to have for us, not necessarily the same as are on forex or on the bank screens.

And we know that's the case. We know that redemption center rates, for the most part, can be higher than those at the banks.

Okay, we've talked about rate of the dinar. We've talked about the Iraq Dinar Contract rate being way higher than bank screen rates. Even thought about getting to and they will be, it would be quite a bit higher. And I've told you guys roughly where expected to be, and I told you that several times, so that's still in play. It's still looking good.

We know the zim is on par with the USN dollar, and we know that the Dong is probably the only one we know of for sure that should be the same on bank screen says it is on redemption center screens.

However, if you have Dong only, we still recommend this call and center appointment for the redemption centers, because there are additional perks and information that you should get when you go in and exchange the Dong so we'll see how all that comes together.

Now, we had heard earlier today that our timing may be tied to a period which would introduce the currencies as new currencies, if you will, to the Forex no longer exotic currency, like what they are right now, but the revalued currency numbers would show up and be posted either Wednesday or Sunday.

And we thought, if we don't have anything by today, it looks like we could be delayed all the way till the weekend, which is only a couple days away, until Saturday. So we could be there. We could get notifications as early as tomorrow and start exchanges Saturday, or we could get pushed all the way to Sunday and get going Monday or Tuesday.

All of this is in play right now because we don't know exactly where the rates stand as being solid on redemption center screens yet, if they are solid now or solid tomorrow, it looks good that we would be notified tomorrow, but we don't have that confirmed yet, so I'm going to try to get that confirmed, which won't help this call tonight, but I'll try to help it, or I'll Try to confirm it after the call tonight, providing that can happen.

The other thing is that bond holders are looking to get their access to funds at the point, I'm going to say probably Saturday. It could be tomorrow, but it could also be on Saturday, and now bonds are only being transacted in two cities in the US, Reno and Miami, both at Wells Fargo locations Reno and Miami, no longer in New York, no longer Atlanta, not in Zurich or Geneva Switzerland, but only in Reno and Miami.

And we have sources on the ground in both those areas, Reno and Miami, and reporting on the number of flights that are coming in every hour into those two cities to transact their bonds. But guess what?

These bond holders are all international. They're coming from other places around the world to do this here, that's the activity that people are seeing in Reno, with extra flights going in six, seven an hour in and out of Reno, but we might have maybe three flights an hour coming in and out by the International Airport, private side, for bondholders.

So for Wells Fargo, sort of and so, so that's what's happening. So bondholders are held back just like we are, until everything is ready to go.

Now, President Trump made a very short address that was taped for a crypto currency summit today. He made a little blurb from the Oval Office. I got to hear it today after he made that and it was recorded, and so it was played for this crypto currency Summit.

And what was interesting is he talked about the value of five of these crypto coins, and I think we know which they are. We've got Bitcoin. We've got oh gosh, let's see which ones they've got, Solano garden XRP, which is ripple, XRP, and Etherium. I think you're five right there.

Those five will actually add value to the US dollar, but in a very real sense, it's the gold back US dollar we call the USN that is adding value to those crypto coins. So they both are working together in conjunction.

And as I mentioned on Tuesdays call, I believe it's gold Donald and and Bitcoin already have a relationship that's tied together by blockchain technology, where they can interact between those two coins, I predict they'll all be interactive, where they'll all be tradable, movable, sellable, viable on each of those coin platforms moving forward.

We’ll see if there's a consolidation, if there's elimination, right? I don't think any of those five will be limited, at least that's what it looks like now –

So as zim holders. I've been told I don't think we have to worry about that one up that for ourselves. It's good for people that maybe don't have currency or don't even know about the currency - to be involved in and President Trump's in favor of them, and has spoken about it several times, and here he addressed the summit, if you will, cryptocurrency summit today, so I’m encouraged by where that's going.

And also I've heard that more and more IRS agents we're getting ready to and I want to see us move into NESARA for this country, and GESARA for the global economic security (Strategic) and reformation act, global economic security (Strategic) and reformation act. And this NESARA our national economic security (Strategic) and reformation act.

But I'm looking forward to occur in this country for us, because we know what's included in it. We know that we have a 14% consumption tax. We know that state income taxes, which are not happening in seven of our states right now, but Florida and Texas and Massachusetts and Wyoming, there are several states don't have state income tax. There won't be state income tax in any state.

But the Consumption Tax will be collected and monitored by quote, unquote, IRS agents in each state. But it's going to be like decentralized, just like education is going to go to the states and being part of the state will manage, will manage and manage education in each state.

The same thing is going to be true about collecting consumption tax on new items that we purchase, but it won't be affected on used items that we buy or a lot of other things, and it's not so we're not having our federal income tax or state income tax, and I'm not sure how real estate taxes are affected. I think they may go away too, but we'll have to see about that.

So when the NESARA does fully kick in, not only do we get debt relief and R and R, and, you know, everything that we're looking to receive from it, but we go to the consumption tax, which is going to be way better for everybody, including us. It'll be so much better. So I'm looking forward to that.

Now when is it going to kick in? Gosh, we thought it would kick in by now. I was told within 15 days of the 10th of the month. Well, tomorrow's the 25th and it hasn't kicked in yet. I'm going to say we're going to have to see what happens, because right now, we're looking to have information come in that's about the Social Security increase, also information that confirms the tax structure.

Everything else, there's quite a bit that has to come out. Will it happen before in the month, which today is, what the 20th that's eight days away, 11 days away, to the 31st it could, it could. We could still get our increase of social added on as an extra payment this month.

I've told, been told that would, that would probably be the case, because it hasn't had any. Nobody's had an increase in their social security on the Wednesdays.And we’ve hit three Wednesdays as of yesterday, right? The fifth, the 12th and 19th, and the last Wednesday is the 26th so we'll get that. You know, when we get it - would it be this month? We'll just have to wait and see,

But we know that r and r for us when we go in for our exchanges will be there when we go in to exchange and redeem our zim, two of the four that should be there as soon as we get numbers and set appointments and go -- Will tomorrow come into play for numbers, where we would start on Saturday. Don't know that was what we got yesterday. Now that may have changed.

That's the thing about this intel guys, as you know, it has changed more times than not, and maybe we're not there until the weekend and and, you know, Monday or Tuesday next week, I really don't know. I'm sorry. I wish I could be more definitive.

At this point, we kind of lost connection actually to get that information. I will say this, there has been an effort for certain bond pay masters in Reno and in Miami to no longer make calls out of that area. They've got major things happening that are keeping those calls from going.

So this shows how close we are, the fact that they're restricting their own pay masters from Wells Fargo, from speaking on their phone. And so that's what we have to look at and say, Okay, well, I guess that means that we're very, very close. And that's exactly what it means.

So everything else is moving in the direction that we wanted to go behind the scenes, President Trump has a great job of contacting President Putin of Russia, and they had a good hour and a half call two days ago. And then yesterday, President Trump had a call or so close to an hour with President Zelensky, they're agreeing in principle to the terms that President Trump has come up with for a cease fire, at least a temporary cease fire, and a work toward a lasting treaty of peace.

And of course, way Hamas is going down there in Israel. Things are, things are not quite peaceful down there right now, but I'm sure that we're working to try to establish that and get that done.

My understanding is we're not to have war under the GESARA treaty or the GESARA Act, and hopefully we're moving toward getting that put into place, putting it into effect. I know, for example, that Iraq has revalued their currency, and it's been put out their in country rate, their international rate. Same thing's true for Vietnam.

They put their rate out yesterday, and the rest of the countries were looking to have do the same thing. I believe it was going to be the Afghanistan, Afghani, Indonesia rupiah, and maybe a couple of others had their rate out as revalued. I haven't heard that that had happened, but that was next, of course, the rest of the currencies, which are totally 17 or 18 total that are coming up substantially in value.

UAE COMMITS TO $1.4 TRILLION US INVESTMENT, WHITE HOUSE SAYS

WASHINGTON/DUBAI, March 21 (Reuters) - The United Arab Emirates has committed to a 10-year, $1.4 trillion investment framework in the United States after top UAE officials met President Donald Trump this week, the White House said on Friday.

Th e framework will "substantially increase the UAE's existing investments in the U.S. economy" in AI infrastructure, semiconductors, energy, and manufacturing, the White House said in a statement.

UAE COMMITS TO $1.4 TRILLION US INVESTMENT, WHITE HOUSE SAYS

WASHINGTON/DUBAI, March 21 (Reuters) - The United Arab Emirates has committed to a 10-year, $1.4 trillion investment framework in the United States after top UAE officials met President Donald Trump this week, the White House said on Friday.

The framework will "substantially increase the UAE's existing investments in the U.S. economy" in AI infrastructure, semiconductors, energy, and manufacturing, the White House said in a statement.

The White House did not outline how UAE investments would reach $1.4 trillion, with some of the deals unveiled as part of the framework having already been announced.

The only fully new deal appeared to be an investment by Emirates Global Aluminium in what would be the first new aluminum smelter in the United States in 35 years, the White House said, adding the plant "would nearly double U.S. domestic aluminum production".

"Developing a primary aluminium smelter in the U.S. has been part of EGA's ambitions for several years," a spokesperson for the firm said in a statement.

The UAE, an oil producer and longtime security partner of the U.S., is looking to deepen investment ties with Washington and is emerging as a global leader in AI, one of the sectors it is betting on to diversify its economy away from energy.

In September, UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan met former U.S. President Joe Biden, in the first visit of a UAE president to the White House, as the two leaders discussed deepening cooperation in areas such as AI, investments and space exploration.

Gulf sovereign wealth funds, including Abu Dhabi's $330-billion Mubadala, are already big U.S. investors, and Trump and his family have business ties to the region.

OVAL OFFICE MEETING

Trump in January asked Saudi Arabia to spend upwards of $1 trillion in the U.S. economy, over four years, including purchases of military equipment, and said this month he likely would make his first trip abroad to the Gulf country to seal an investment agreement.

The deal, which could happen between this month or the next, would come at a time when Saudi Arabia, the Arab world's biggest economy, has been taking a more prominent role in U.S. foreign policy. The Gulf country is set to host diplomatic talks around Ukraine involving the United States and Russia next week.

The White House said on Friday the UAE agreement resulted from a meeting that Trump held on Tuesday with national security adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan in the Oval Office and a dinner that Vice President JD Vance and several cabinet members held with the UAE delegation, which included the heads of major UAE sovereign wealth funds and corporations.

Among the tie-ups highlighted on Friday was a partnership between UAE sovereign wealth fund ADQ, which is chaired by Sheikh Tahnoon, and U.S. private equity firm Energy Capital Partners, for a $25 billion U.S.-focused initiative to invest in energy infrastructure and data centers. That had been previously announced two days ago.

A commitment by XRG, the international investment arm of UAE state oil company ADNOC launched in November, to support U.S. natural gas production and exports with an investment in the NextDecade liquefied natural gas export facility in Texas, had previously been made public last year by ADNOC, under Biden.

AUSTRALIA OUTLINES CRYPTO REGULATION PLAN, PROMISES ACTION ON DEBANKING

The Albanese-led government intends to release draft legislation in 2025 for public consultation and promised to work with Australia’s four largest banks to better understand de-banking.

Australia’s government, under its ruling center-left Labor Party, has proposed a new crypto framework regulating exchanges under existing financial services laws and has promised to tackle debanking.

It comes ahead of a federal election slated to be held on or before May 17, which current polling shows is shaping up to a dead heat between Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s Labor and the opposing Coalition led by Peter Dutton.

The Treasury Department said in a March 21 statement that crypto exchanges, custody services and some brokerage firms that trade or store crypto will come under the new laws.

The regime imposes similar compliance requirements as other financial services in the country, such as following rules safeguarding customer assets, obtaining an Australian Financial Services Licence and meeting minimum capital requirements.

In August 2022, the government initiated a series of industry consultations to draft a crypto regulatory framework.

“Our legislative reforms will extend existing financial services laws to key digital asset platforms, but not to all of the digital asset ecosystem,” the Treasury said in its statement.

Small-scale and startup platforms that don’t meet specific size thresholds will be exempt, along with firms that develop blockchain-related software or create digital assets that aren’t financial products.

Payment stablecoins will be treated as a type of stored-value facility under the Government’s Payments Licensing Reforms; however, some stablecoins and wrapped tokens will be exempt.

“Dealing or secondary market trading in these products will be not treated as a dealing activity, and platforms where they are traded will not be treated as operating a market simply because of that trading activity,” the Treasury said.

As part of its crypto agenda, Albanese’s government has also promised to work with Australia’s four largest banks to better understand the extent and nature of de-banking.

There will also be a review into a central bank digital currency and an Enhanced Regulatory Sandbox in 2025, allowing businesses to test new financial products without needing a license.

Albanese’s government intends to release a draft of the legislation for public consultation. However, a change of government could be on the horizon with a looming federal election, a date for which is yet to be called.

Dutton’s center-right Coalition had earlier promised to prioritize crypto regulation if it wins the election.

The latest YouGov poll published on March 20 shows the Coalition and Labor neck in neck for a two-party preferred vote.

Caroline Bowler, the CEO of local crypto exchange BTC Markets, said in a statement shared with Cointelegraph that the areas of reform are sensible and would keep Australia competitive with global peers.

However, she thinks there “will be additional detail required on capital adequacy and custody requirements.”

“We need to ensure that these requirements aren’t overly burdensome for business investment in Australia,” Bowler said.

Kraken Australia’s managing director, Jonathon Miller, said there is an “urgent need for bespoke crypto legislation” to address the existing confusion and uncertainty in the country’s industry.

“We believe that by establishing a clear crypto regulatory framework and mitigating problems like debanking, government can remove the barriers hampering growth in the Australian economy,” he said.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

SEC’S OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON RIPPLE LAWSUIT STILL PENDING: HERE’S WHAT WE CAN EXPECT

Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, recently announced that the SEC has finally dropped its appeal against Ripple, marking the end of a lengthy legal battle that lasted over three years. The SEC has decided not to pursue further legal action, confirming that Ripple is no longer under threat from the regulatory body.

This decision has had an immediate impact on XRP’s price, which surged following the announcement. The legal saga, which began with the SEC’s claim that Ripple violated securities laws by selling XRP, has been a major point of contention in the cryptocurrency space.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett responded, explaining that the SEC still needs to formally approve the withdrawal of its appeal. Once the Commission gives the green light, they can expect a press release similar to the one issued earlier this year when the SEC dismissed its lawsuit against Coinbase.

Terrett added that the SEC typically addresses matters of litigation and enforcement during their closed meetings. The dismissal of the Ripple case will likely be discussed at one of these meetings, which is scheduled for next Thursday.

RIPPLE CEO PREDICTS NEW RLUSD CRYPTO TO BE TOP 5 STABLECOIN BY YEAR END FOLLOWING SEC’S DROPPED XRP LAWSUIT

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse says the firm’s dollar-pegged crypto asset will become a top stablecoin by the end of the year after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dropped its lawsuit against the payments platform.

In a new interview, Garlinghouse says that RLUSD – which launched in December 2024 – will grow into a top-five stablecoin after the regulatory agency dropped its lawsuit against Ripple Labs for allegedly violating securities law.

According to Garlinghouse, the stablecoins sector of the industry should see massive growth in the next few years.

“I think we’re underestimating how big [stablecoins] might get. Today, that market is about $230 billion. Some smart people think that may go up 10x in the next five years – I think that’s probably right…

Ripple launched its own stablecoin at the end of the last year that’s already ahead of our own internal forecast in terms of where we are at this point…

We’re still really small, but the goal is by the end of the year, for RLUSD, Ripple’s stablecoin, to be one of the top five in the market, and I think the whole market is going to grow dramatically this year.”

Earlier this week, the SEC announced it is dropping its case against Ripple Labs for allegedly selling unregistered securities, causing XRP, the digital asset associated with the firm, to rally.

Ripple was initially sued by the SEC in 2020, but a judge in 2022 ruled that the open-market sales of XRP to retail investors do not qualify as securities.

XRP is trading for $2.47 at time of writing, a 2.4% decrease on the day while RLUSD has a market cap of $169.6 billion.

2 Ways an Economic Downturn in 2025 Is Your Chance To Get Rich

2 Ways an Economic Downturn in 2025 Is Your Chance To Get Rich, According to Robert Kiyosaki

Adam Palasciano Wed, March 19, 2025 GOBankingRates

Economic downturns are inevitable from time to time. Whether it’s a minor dip in the stock market or something as significant as 2008’s Great Recession, we all need to be financially prepared for whatever lies ahead. However, whatever’s coming next might be big, perhaps as big as the Great Depression.

In a recent post on X, financial expert and “Rich Dad Poor Dad” author Robert Kiyosaki predicted the next “Greater Depression” in 2025:

2 Ways an Economic Downturn in 2025 Is Your Chance To Get Rich, According to Robert Kiyosaki

Adam Palasciano Wed, March 19, 2025 GOBankingRates

In a recent post on X, financial expert and “Rich Dad Poor Dad” author Robert Kiyosaki predicted the next “Greater Depression” in 2025:

“In 2014 I published RD’s Prophecy predicting the biggest stock market crash in history. Unfortunately that ‘prophecy’ is coming true, in 2025. Markets are crashing and my concern is the world may be entering into another ‘Greater Depression,'” said Kiyosaki.

Under the new administration, The Wall Street Journal reported that the S&P 500 recently saw its biggest drop in years, down more than 10% from its February 19, 2025, record high. This drop can likely be attributed to Trump’s threat of upcoming tariffs on foreign nations.

No matter the exact reason, economic uncertainty may lie ahead and you’ll need to be prepared. This includes figuring out how to grow your wealth at the same time.

Here are two important ways to leverage an economic downturn to get rich, according to Kiyosaki.

Invest in Gold, Silver and Bitcoin

Kiyosaki is a proponent of investing in precious metals like gold and silver as well as cryptocurrency like bitcoin (BTC) ahead of an expected economic downturn.

“For years I have [advised] people to do what I do …. which is buy gold, silver and bitcoin,” said Kiyosaki.

Here are the current prices of gold, silver and bitcoin to prove his point:

According to APMEX, the price of gold is reaching an all-time high. The current price per 1 troy ounce of gold is around $3,013.40. This figure represents about a 13.7% increase from just three months ago and a giant 43.5% increase from just one year ago.

APMEX also reported that the price per 1 troy ounce of silver is around $33.96. This figure represents about a 10.7% increase from just three months ago and a significant 45.1% increase from just one year ago.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

JUST IN: PRESIDENT TRUMP DECLARES END TO CRYPTO ‘WAR’

At the Digital Asset Summit 2025, President Donald Trump spoke via video, sharing his vision for the U.S. to lead in the world of crypto and financial technologies. He expressed that while it won’t be easy, the U.S. is already ahead, having hosted the first-ever White House Digital Summit just two weeks ago.

The summit brought together top leaders in the crypto space for discussions led by Crypto Czar David Sachs. Trump also reflected on his recent executive order to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, which will help the government maximize the value of its crypto holdings, unlike the previous administration’s actions.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

Trump went on to criticize the past administration’s approach to crypto, particularly its regulatory actions, calling them a misuse of government power. He said that with his leadership, the U.S. is ending this regulatory “war” and promised a more supportive environment for crypto.

Trump also called on Congress to pass clear, sensible regulations for stablecoins and market structures, which would help boost innovation and investment in the industry.

“We are ending the previous administration’s regulatory war on crypto and Bitcoin, which includes stopping the lawless ‘Operation Chokepoint 2.0.’ This operation went far beyond regulation — it was a form of government weaponization, and frankly, it was a disgrace. But as of January 20, 2025, all of that is over,” he said.

He concluded by expressing excitement about the energy of the crypto community, believing it embodies the spirit that built America, and reaffirming that the future of finance will be led by the U.S.

The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve will hold about 200,000 bitcoins that have been seized by federal agencies. The U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile will include other types of digital assets, also seized through legal processes.

The Treasury will oversee these assets and decide how to manage or sell them if needed. The goal of this executive order is to centralize and properly manage the country’s digital assets, ensuring their value is maximized.

TRUMP IS TAKING ON THE FED—WITH CRYPTO AS THE TIP OF THE SPEAR

Anticipated moves by President Trump and Senate Republicans appear intent on using crypto policy to achieve a broader goal: ending the Fed’s independence.

As President Donald Trump continues to test the limits of executive authority by reshaping all manner of U.S. government agencies, one such battle appears poised to rope in the cryptocurrency industry: a brewing war against the Federal Reserve and its publicly stated mission to remain independent.

Since the early 1950s, the Fed has enjoyed final say on key decisions related to the American banking system and U.S. monetary policy. Now the Trump administration and its Republican allies in Congress appear intent on taking over some of that decision-making—first and foremost via numerous crypto-related policy initiatives.

As Decrypt reported last week, the White House is planning to soon issue another cryptocurrency-focused executive order that will, among other things, likely direct the Fed to change its policies on withholding coveted master accounts from so-called crypto banks—financial institutions that possess banking licenses but also offer crypto custody services to their clients.

Master accounts, which allow banks to access the Fed’s financial services, are crucial for serving customers at scale. Should crypto banks finally receive such approval, the development would constitute a massive victory for the digital assets industry.

Only the precious few crypto-focused banks that are registered as depository institutions, such as Kraken Financial, a subdivision of the cryptocurrency exchange Kraken, and Caitlin Long’s Custodia, would be immediately eligible to receive master accounts.

Master account approvals have, for decades, been the final say of the Fed’s seven-member board of governors. And while those governors are appointed by the president, their decisions have not been openly overridden by the executive branch ever since an informal agreement granted them policy-making independence in 1951, according to the Fed.

Last month, Trump laid the groundwork to begin undoing that understanding by signing an executive order declaring he had the right to dictate the Fed’s policies related to the “supervision and regulation of financial institutions.” That policy category would likely include the Fed’s decision-making related to master accounts.

Trump’s order did make the caveat that the Fed will continue to shape its own “monetary policy” on sensitive matters like interest rates. But efforts are brewing in Washington to undo even the Fed’s monetary policy independence—and once again, those plans run straight through the crypto industry.

Last week, Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) introduced a bill, the Bitcoin Act, that would obligate the U.S. government to buy some $80 billion worth of Bitcoin in an effort to bolster a federal Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. That huge sum of crypto would be paid for, chiefly, by a scheme that would compel the Fed to have its Nixon-era gold certificates reissued at market prices.

Because gold has appreciated by some 6,000% in the intervening years, new gold certificates would theoretically be worth hundreds of billions more than the old ones. The Fed would receive these new, more valuable certificates—but then have to immediately fork over $80 billion to the Treasury Secretary to fund Bitcoin purchases.

A Capitol Hill source with direct knowledge of the thinking that went into the Bitcoin Act told Decrypt that no one has yet tried to tap into such a fundraising mechanism because, for decades, legislators and presidents alike have been hesitant to explicitly direct the Fed.

That position has now changed.

“The view [behind the Bitcoin Act] is in line with the president’s, that there’s no such thing as an independent agency,” the source said. “The Federal Reserve can be instructed, especially through legislation.”

The Capitol Hill insider added that Republicans have likely been emboldened in recent years to take a stronger stance on overseeing the policies of ostensibly independent federal agencies because of the perceived politicization of these agencies, exemplified by the alleged political targeting that took place in the anti-crypto “Operation Chokepoint 2.0.”

Trump is by no means the first president to push against the Fed’s independence in the modern era. Presidents from both parties have pressured the Fed to enact or undo certain policies.

In 1965, President Lyndon Johnson went so far as to physically assault then-Fed chair William McChesney Martin over a disagreement about raising interest rates, according to one biographer.

But still, since the 1950s, no president has successfully managed, or meaningfully tried, to rip key decision-making powers back from the Fed’s governors—at least not explicitly.

Should Trump and his congressional allies keep pressing forward on that goal—and should crypto policy become the tip of that spear—how might the digital assets industry react?

One crypto lobbyist told Decrypt that the Trump administration appears to be using crypto-related policy as a “test case” for reclaiming control over independent agencies.

On one hand, those efforts could unlock crucial victories crypto leaders wouldn’t have dared dream of even a year ago.

On the other hand, the same moves could not only end up in contentious litigation, but also associate the crypto industry—which has tried desperately to avoid political polarization—with a precedent-bucking agenda that is increasingly testing the limits of the U.S. Constitution.

“I can't tell yet if it’s a good thing or a bad thing,” the crypto lobbyist said. “But we’ll take it. Right?”

4 Common Mistakes Affluent Americans Make With Their Money

4 Common Mistakes Affluent Americans Make With Their Money — and How To Avoid Them

Vance Cariaga Tue, March 18, 2025 GOBankingRates

Affluence, like beauty, is often in the eye of the beholder. What looks like wealth to one person might not seem that way to others — especially if that “wealth” is offset by high debt and reckless spending. Just because someone earns a high salary doesn’t make them immune to the same financial mistakes as everyone else.

Even defining “affluence” isn’t easy. As Forbes reported, many factors go into determining someone’s wealth — including net worth, household income and location. A net worth of $500,000 might make you affluent in some parts of the country, while in other parts even $1 million falls short of the mark.

4 Common Mistakes Affluent Americans Make With Their Money — and How To Avoid Them

Vance Cariaga Tue, March 18, 2025 GOBankingRates

A recent survey from financial services provider Equitable defined the “mass affluent” as Americans who have an income level at or above $90,000 per year. According to that survey, 80% of all Americans are “concerned” about the affordability of everyday living costs, regardless of income. Nearly half aim to change their financial habits in 2025 to ease financial stress. Almost 70% of the mass affluent said they plan to increase their savings by $500 or more per month.

Increasing savings is one way to bolster your finances. Another way is to avoid making the same mistakes over and over. Here are four common mistakes affluent Americans make and how to avoid them, according to Nasha Knowles, CFP, a financial advisor with Equitable Advisors who counsels high net worth individuals.

Underestimating Income Taxes

Many affluent people don’t realize the tax impact when they start earning more money, Knowles told GOBankingRates in an email.

“They will now pay more in taxes because they make more, and they will also be in a higher tax bracket,” she said. “It always surprises them how much they are now paying in taxes.”

To avoid this mistake, hire a tax professional or financial advisor to help with tax planning.

Making Big Ticket Purchases Without Considering Related Costs
