Tishwash: What are Iraqis waiting for after the news of the "sudden suspension" of the dollar selling platform by the Central Bank?
Financial and banking expert Alaa Al-Fahd commented today, Tuesday (December 24, 2024), on the impact of the Central Bank’s suspension of the “platform” on the markets during the next stage.
Al-Fahd told Baghdad Today, "The Central Bank of Iraq worked during the previous period with a plan through a currency auction in the first phase, then establishing the electronic platform and intensive work to find correspondence methods between local banks and foreign banks with which we have commercial relations and their results in external transfers. Therefore, the bank announced some time ago that the platform will be stopped at the end of this year and there will be direct correspondent banks."
He explained that "this is a natural matter, as all central banks in the world are tasked with maintaining monetary policy, not selling currency. There is no central bank in the world that sells currency and mediates in buying and selling currency. This work is the responsibility and responsibility of banks and exchange companies. This is true and is a major challenge until the relations are direct commercial banking under the supervision of the Central Bank of Iraq."
He added, "Stopping the platform will not affect the local markets in terms of the dollar exchange rate, but there are those who are trying to spread rumors that this step will change the exchange rate, as the same dollar that the Central Bank of Iraq was selling through the platform will be sold to banks and banks that have relations with foreign banks so that the transfer is direct according to electronic transactions and monitoring, and for this reason the situation is under control and there is no fear of the impact on the markets."
Yesterday, Monday, economic expert Ziad Al-Hashemi revealed that the Central Bank of Iraq had suddenly suspended the dollar transfer platform before the scheduled date, without an official announcement, and without taking into account the interests of Iraqi companies and markets, in a move that is, to say the least, far from professionalism and transparency.
Al-Hashemi said in a post on the social networking site "Facebook", which was followed by "Baghdad Today", that "stopping the platform without an official announcement by the Central Bank may indicate that there is uncertainty and fear of the consequences of stopping the platform on the dollar exchange rates, and the lack of announcement may give the Central Bank an opportunity to evade and evade the decision to stop the platform and return to operating the platform, even temporarily, in the event that the dollar begins to rise to high rates link

Tishwash: Dollar Auction.. What is the truth about stopping the Central Bank’s platform for currency conversion?
A responsible source in the Central Bank of Iraq revealed, on Monday evening, the truth about stopping the Central Bank's platform for currency transfer starting today.
The source told Shafak News Agency, "The talk about the official suspension of the Central Bank's platform for the currency transfer window, on today's date 12/23/2024, is incorrect. Today, the auction worked normally and there is no official decision to suspend it so far."
The source, who requested anonymity, added, “This platform will be stopped at the end of this year, according to what the bank officially announced. This does not mean stopping transfer operations, as some are trying to promote. However, after this step, there will be direct dealings between banks and correspondent banks, and not canceling transfer operations, as is being promoted. The issue is not limited to specific banks, but rather the process will be much broader.”
The responsible source in the Central Bank stated that "many Iraqi banks have the capabilities to deal directly with correspondent banks and operate in accordance with the work of advanced global banking sectors." link

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani chaired a meeting today, Monday, on oil and electricity sector projects, in the presence of the Ministers of Oil and Electricity, in addition to specialized advisors and a number of undersecretaries in the two ministries.
During the meeting, the gas projects that are being implemented within the government program were discussed, as well as the timetable set for their completion, especially since there is an increase in the levels of stopping the burning of associated gas, as the percentage currently stands at 67 percent, and it is hoped to reach 80 percent by the end of next year, leading to a complete cessation of burning by the end of 2027.
During the meeting, the invitation to specialized American companies to establish a fixed gas platform in the Grand Faw Port was also discussed.
The meeting discussed inviting international energy companies to invest in natural gas fields, in addition to discussing the plan to supply fuel to power plants at the present time and for the coming months. link

RIPPLE CEO REVEALS GROWING REAL ESTATE DEMAND FOR XRP TESTING
▪️Brad Garlinghouse revealed that there has been an increase in demand for XRP not only as a payment solution within the real estate sector but also in the trade finance and insurance sectors.
▪️With the financial landscape shifting towards more efficient and secure solutions, Ripple stands at the forefront of this transformation, leveraging the advantages of XRP to enhance cross-border payment systems securely.

RIPPLE CEO REVEALS GROWING REAL ESTATE DEMAND FOR XRP TESTING
▪️Brad Garlinghouse revealed that there has been an increase in demand for XRP not only as a payment solution within the real estate sector but also in the trade finance and insurance sectors.
▪️With the financial landscape shifting towards more efficient and secure solutions, Ripple stands at the forefront of this transformation, leveraging the advantages of XRP to enhance cross-border payment systems securely.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has revealed that there is an increase in demand for XRP as a preferred payment solution within the real estate sector. Ripple is proactively working to boost the asset’s adoption, recognizing its potential in transforming transaction methodologies.
This growing interest is not only a testament to the efficacy of blockchain technology in facilitating seamless transactions but also highlights the evolving landscape of property sales and investments.
The real estate market has traditionally been bogged down by lengthy processes, high transaction costs, and a lack of transparency, making it a prime candidate for disruption.
The founder identified other industries ripe for innovation, including insurance, trade finance, and identity management, in the interview shared on X by RippleLord, a Ripple enthusiast.
Ripple’s Payment Network in Real Estate
Ripple and the real estate sector stand to mutually benefit from each other, particularly as there is a growing demand from customers for Ripple’s deeper involvement in trade finance.
Ripple’s solutions have the potential to streamline processes and enhance operational efficiency, particularly in areas like global payments and title management, where inefficiencies have long hindered the real estate industry.
At the core of Ripple’s offerings is Ripple Payments, which was previously named RippleNet and utilizes advanced blockchain technology to facilitate efficient fund transfers for institutions around the world. Brad Garlinghouse emphasized that businesses are keen to explore how Ripple’s cutting-edge solutions can improve cross-border payments and minimize transaction friction.
This need for modernization is particularly relevant today, as existing payment systems often leave users waiting weeks for transactions and facing high fees.
Ripple Payments provides a decentralized network for banks and financial institutions globally, utilizing products built on the XRP blockchain, such as xCurrent for cross-border payments and xRapid for cheap and fast transactions.
Ripple seeks to collaborate with traditional financial institutions and real estate companies rather than replace them. Garlinghouse compares Ripple’s transformative potential to the internet’s evolution, noting its ability to change various sectors, including real estate, fundamentally.
As revealed in a CNF article, XRP’s permissionless nature and its On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) feature are particularly advantageous for real estate transactions. ODL enables international payments by using XRP to facilitate more efficient cross-border transactions.
This feature also provides instantaneous settlement, enhanced reliability, and reduced transaction costs, critical elements for real estate deals that often involve multiple currencies.
Currently, Ripple Payments supports over 55 countries and connects to more than 120 fiat currencies, simplifying the management of international transactions for real estate professionals.
As XRP continues to gain recognition in the payments landscape, each unit is trading at $2.21, with a notable decrease of 2.94% in the last 24 hours. XRP’s trading volume of $ 11 billion has decreased by 9.30%, signaling a recent fall in market activity.

HOW MOONPAY PLANS TO REVOLUTIONIZE CRYPTO PAYMENTS
MoonPay, a fintech company has become a major player in crypto since its launch in 2018. Led by CEO Ivan Soto Wright, the platform helps investors buy and sell cryptos as well as NFTs easily. It is like a PayPal but for cryptocurrencies. The project is capturing the spotlight as there are news about them acquiring Helio pay, a crypto payment gateway.
MoonPay Role in Crypto Space
MoonPay has launched innovative crypto payment solutions like MoonPay Balance. This is a fiat to crypto transfer tool that works seamlessly with wallets like MetaMask. Rolled out in 27 European countries last month, this feature gives users a straightforward way to interact with decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. But the company isn’t stopping there. A potential acquisition of Helio Pay, rumored to cost $150 million, might be their next big leap.
Helio Pay Acquisition News
Helio Pay is no small name in the crypto world. The platform is like Coinbase Commerce, helping over 6,000 merchants and creators accept payments in Bitcoin, Ether, and other digital currencies. It even integrates Solana Pay into Shopify, a platform with millions of users globally. This is going to be an amazing combo as MoonPay already serves more than 20 million users in over 160 countries.
According to Eleanor Terrett from Fox Business, MoonPay is in in talks to acquire helio for about $150 million.
If this acquisition goes through, this is going to be a big thing for crypto space especially for e-commerce merchants and their users. MoonPay will get to expand its reach and e-commerce will get enhancement with its services. How great would it be if you could use crypto to buy stuff online just like using a credit card — easy and simple.
Why This Matters
This potential deal highlights MoonPay’s ambitions of making crypto transactions easier for individuals. This will reshape how businesses and users interact with cryptocurrencies. Adding Helio Pay to their portfolio would strengthen their infrastructure. This would finally bring crypto payments into the mainstream. As crypto adoption grows globally, this is the perfect time to bring such enhancements to crypto payments.
What to Expect Next
If the Helio acquisition deal is closed, this will likely spark even more innovations in the crypto payment space. The company already has a bright name because of its focus on easing the crypto payments, the new takeover will shine the name even more. It’s just a matter of time before the actual confirmation comes out.

I am convinced that the RV is coming to us very soon. Just today on Mon. 23 Dec. 2024 the Iraq Bank of International Trade opened it’s doors. That means the Kingpin of the GCR – the Iraqi Dinar – is international. Think about the implications of that.
I am taking a much needed break and this will be my last Update until after the holidays, unless, of course, Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) receives news about setting our exchange/redemption appointments. If so, I will immediately send out an Update.

Frank26 The introduction of all these foreign currencies [to transact in for import/export] is the introduction of the international basket where [the dinar] will be paired and the new exchange rate will exist and grow. I'm excited because they're stopping the CBI auctions and replacing them with value for your currency to deal with other currencies that have their own value...
Jeff The second half of December was a very critical period to Iraq. Why? During the second half of December is when Iraq pauses and suspends their credit and lending practices which work off the value of the country's currency. If Iraq is going change the value of their currency, they would need to pause and suspend credit and lending practices. That's why it's important.

DJ: DID YOU KNOW?
As we watch for the GCR, consider what currency would have to look like for the concept behind the GCR to be effective. The perfect currency would exhibit attributes that ensure seamless functionality in the global economy, stability in valuation, universal acceptability, and public confidence.
Its design would integrate technological innovation, economic principles, and social trust to overcome the limitations of existing currencies.
The currency must be globally accepted to facilitate international trade and reduce the inefficiencies of currency conversion. A universal ledger system, such as a blockchain, could support this, enabling real-time, transparent transactions across borders.
DJ: DID YOU KNOW?
As we watch for the GCR, consider what currency would have to look like for the concept behind the GCR to be effective. The perfect currency would exhibit attributes that ensure seamless functionality in the global economy, stability in valuation, universal acceptability, and public confidence.
Its design would integrate technological innovation, economic principles, and social trust to overcome the limitations of existing currencies.
The currency must be globally accepted to facilitate international trade and reduce the inefficiencies of currency conversion. A universal ledger system, such as a blockchain, could support this, enabling real-time, transparent transactions across borders.
Stability would be essential to prevent inflation or deflation from disrupting economic activities. A perfect currency should be pegged to a diversified basket of assets, including commodities, equities, and global economic indicators, to mitigate fluctuations arising from localized economic issues.
Public confidence in the currency hinges on transparency, security, and governance. A decentralized system, governed by an impartial and algorithmically controlled entity rather than a single nation or private institution, would enhance trust. Advanced cryptographic measures would secure the system against fraud and cyberattacks.
This ideal currency would have to seamlessly flow through the financial system, minimizing transaction costs and delays. Digital form, supported by distributed ledger technology, would allow instantaneous settlements and efficient tracking, reducing the need for intermediaries and clearinghouses, while allowing to transact privately for personal security, but the system must also include mechanisms to prevent illicit activities.
This can be achieved through cryptographic techniques like zero-knowledge proofs. To do this the currency would have to be programmable, allowing for smart contracts to automate trade, enforce agreements, and optimize financial processes. This would lower operational costs and streamline global trade operations.
The currency would have to be able to circulate via a digital, decentralized infrastructure maintained by a network of nodes (blockchain) distributed globally. Transactions would be validated through a consensus mechanism, such as proof-of-stake, ensuring energy efficiency and scalability. Financial institutions would serve as facilitators, providing liquidity and converting existing assets into the new currency.
Currency values would have to reflect a balance of real-time economic indicators, supply and demand, and technological advancements. For global trade, this currency would eliminate exchange rate risks and reduce transaction frictions, encouraging equitable and efficient trade among nations. While the perfect currency as described could endure for many generations, 0n going adjustments would likely still be necessary to adapt to evolving societal, technological, and economic conditions.
These proposed attributes create a solid foundation for long-term sustainability. A decentralized and programmable nature would allow it to evolve without being tied to the political or economic fluctuations of any single nation or entity.
Additionally, linking its value to a diversified basket of assets reduces the risk of systemic collapse due to localized economic crises.
For the theoretical “perfect currency,” a combination of asset-backed and fiat currency principles would likely be the optimal choice.
This ideal currency could endure for generations as a cornerstone of the global economy. But its longevity would depend on its ability to adapt through ongoing refinement and innovation. Just as biological evolution allows species to survive environmental changes, a currency must evolve in response to technological, economic, and social shifts.
With a foundation designed for adaptability. A “Hybrid” type of currency seems the logical alternative. A hybrid currency that combines asset backing for stability and fiat flexibility for adaptability would be the most suitable for the described scenario. It would provide the confidence and security of tangible value while maintaining the liquidity and responsiveness needed for dynamic global trade and modern economic demands.
So while waiting for a GCR, contemplate the above scenario. If you have been watching we see most of the mechanisms above being enacted in real time. It’s like you’ve been dating for 15 years, close but not exactly ready to get engaged.

Frank26 The word 'shock' is not being just used freely. It is specific to what is about to happen to [the] monetary reform. Once those auctions stop, many Iraqi citizens will start to ask more questions. It will shock most of the citizens that don't know what's going on. It will shock parliament. It will shock the international markets as it travels in a basket. That shock wave that will restructure global finances and the American dollar will be put back on top as the ruler of all currencies on this planet. Mark my words.
Yada ...the contractors received their exchanges, Iraq has removed all the corruption, ISIS, and now they have digital banking in the banks taking the control of the money out of the hands of the CBI. The amendment for the rate changes was done last weekend and the Iraqi people know the rate is changing AND the banks in Iraq are operating with the basket of currencies for international business as we speak.

3 Scary Truths About the Future of Social Security
3 Scary Truths About the Future of Social Security
Lydia Kibet Sun, December 22, 2024 GOBankingRates
For millions of Americans, Social Security isn’t just a paycheck. It’s a lifeline. With many reports that Social Security benefits may run out by 2035, it’s unclear what the future holds. Whether you’re already retired or still years away, you need to know these hard truths about the future of Social Security.
The Program Could Be Insolvent by 2035
What most people don’t get is that Social Security isn’t going bankrupt. It’s running a deficit, which means the program doesn’t have enough cash (coming in from upcoming payroll taxes) to fund benefits fully. For this reason, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has been pulling money from its trust funds to avoid the benefit cuts so far.
3 Scary Truths About the Future of Social Security
Lydia Kibet Sun, December 22, 2024 GOBankingRates
For millions of Americans, Social Security isn’t just a paycheck. It’s a lifeline. With many reports that Social Security benefits may run out by 2035, it’s unclear what the future holds. Whether you’re already retired or still years away, you need to know these hard truths about the future of Social Security.
The Program Could Be Insolvent by 2035
What most people don’t get is that Social Security isn’t going bankrupt. It’s running a deficit, which means the program doesn’t have enough cash (coming in from upcoming payroll taxes) to fund benefits fully. For this reason, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has been pulling money from its trust funds to avoid the benefit cuts so far.
As stated by the SSA Trustees report, the current surplus will run out by 2035. However, this doesn’t mean the program will no longer pay benefits. Instead, the program will be able to pay only about 83% of the scheduled benefits. This means your monthly check could be potentially slashed by 17%.
“Policymakers can implement various Social Security reforms to rebuild this surplus, like raising the full retirement age from 66 to 70 or taxing workers on all their earnings,” said Steve Sexton, financial consultant and CEO of Sexton Advisory Group.
“Regardless of whether a surplus is achieved or not via reforms, I wouldn’t recommend leaving this up to chance, and it should motivate individuals who plan to retire in 2033 and beyond to reevaluate their retirement planning strategy. Future retirees should plan to beef up their reserves via other means of retirement income, whether through investments, real estate, part-time work or other income streams.”
According to Taylor Lee, financial advisor at Belmont Capital Advisors, “A scary truth about the future of Social Security is that people are living much longer now and drawing benefits into their 90s, whereas benefits can start as early as 62. It’s common sense that we need to raise the retirement age for Social Security, but no politician is going to do it because they’re afraid to lose votes.”
Inflation Is Eating Away at Benefits
Even if Social Security doesn’t become insolvent, it’s losing its buying power. While Congress adjusts Social Security benefits for inflation each year through the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA), it hasn’t managed to keep up with skyrocketing inflation. This means retirees are losing money each month as their bills surpass their benefits. If inflation keeps outpacing COLA, retirees will lose purchasing power on their benefits yearly.
“A recent analysis by The Senior Citizens League reported Social Security benefits have lost 20% of their buying power since 2010, which means the next generation of retirees cannot realistically depend on their Social Security check to fully support them in their golden years,” Sexton said. “Additionally, as necessities like housing, groceries and healthcare increase, retirees will struggle to afford basic needs if their Social Security benefits don’t keep pace with rising costs.”

With a staggering $36 trillion national debt and interest expenses that are climbing, the Fed’s actions are poised to have far-reaching consequences, particularly in the realm of commercial real estate.
Despite the Fed’s best efforts to rein in inflation, which has remained stubbornly above its target, interest rates have risen sharply in response. These elevated rates are intended to cool off the economy and temper inflationary pressures.
However, the result has been a cascade of challenges that threaten the financial stability of various sectors. The burden of high interest rates is particularly acute for small and mid-sized banks, which are already feeling the heat from an escalating commercial real estate crisis.
The commercial real estate sector has become a focal point of concern as rising interest rates lead to higher borrowing costs. Property owners who previously benefited from low-interest loans are now facing a stark reality of ballooning debt expenses. Many are unable to refinance, leading to rising defaults and increasing vacancies. This scenario has created a ripple effect, pushing small and mid-sized banks to the brink as they grapple with rising non-performing loans and a tightening credit environment.
Analysts warn that this crisis could exacerbate existing economic vulnerabilities, particularly as many of these banks are heavily invested in commercial real estate. As defaults increase, confidence in the banking sector erodes, potentially leading to a more significant financial downturn.
With the national debt now exceeding $36 trillion, the U.S. government faces a daunting challenge. Interest payments alone are consuming a significant portion of the federal budget, leaving less room for investment in critical areas such as infrastructure, education, and healthcare. As interest rates remain elevated, these expenses will continue to rise, further straining the government’s financial resources.
Moreover, the ever-increasing debt poses a risk of eroding confidence in U.S. Treasury securities, traditionally viewed as a safe haven for investors. If investors begin to question the sustainability of the U.S. debt, it could trigger a more severe economic fallout, including a potential crisis of confidence in the dollar itself.
As the financial system teeters on the brink of uncertainty, many investors are revisiting the historical role of gold and silver as safe havens. Gold has long been viewed as a store of value, particularly in times of economic distress. Its appeal stems from its ability to maintain value even when fiat currencies face volatility and inflation.
The current economic climate, marked by high inflation and rising interest rates, creates a fertile ground for gold and silver to shine. Investors looking for stability amid the chaos are increasingly turning to these precious metals as a hedge against currency devaluation and economic downturns.
Silver, too, offers a dual advantage as both an industrial metal and a precious metal. With the green energy transition and technological advancements driving demand for silver, its value is expected to remain resilient, even in a turbulent economic environment.
The Federal Reserve is indeed walking a tightrope as it attempts to balance inflation control with the mounting pressures of national debt and a commercial real estate crisis. The consequences of its monetary policy decisions are reverberating across the economy, creating a landscape fraught with uncertainty.
In this climate of financial instability, gold and silver emerge as critical players. As traditional safe havens, they offer a refuge for investors seeking to preserve their wealth amidst rising inflation and potential economic turmoil.
As the Fed continues to navigate these choppy waters, the case for gold and silver becomes ever more compelling, reminding us of their enduring value in uncertain times.

Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY:
Mr Sammy says the key will be to keep the inflation down once they stop the auctions and then the notes will pop and the rate. But auctions closing will force things. FRANK: Closing the auctions makes them obligated to give you a new exchange rate with lower notes to match it. FIREFLY: Mr. Sammy also says that by December 31st we could see that. So that means it could be before that. FRANK: Regardless whether it be in two weeks or two months it's happening. It's coming. We need to be ready...

Governments around the world have grown unpayable debt levels and intend to expand those levels. At the same time interest rates force higher payments on new debt, including rolled over debt. Easing into an already easy money environment is a recipe for higher and faster inflation. At some point, control will be lost.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
TRUMP TAPS PRO-CRYPTO ECONOMIST STEPHEN MIRAN TO LEAD COUNCIL OF ECONOMIC ADVISERS
Miran will advise Trump on policy and help shape the administration's economic agenda to achieve its goals.
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Stephen Miran, a former Treasury official from his first administration, to lead the Council of Economic Advisers. By selecting Miran, Trump is bringing experienced leadership back to Washington to help shape economic policy.
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
TRUMP TAPS PRO-CRYPTO ECONOMIST STEPHEN MIRAN TO LEAD COUNCIL OF ECONOMIC ADVISERS
Miran will advise Trump on policy and help shape the administration's economic agenda to achieve its goals.
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Stephen Miran, a former Treasury official from his first administration, to lead the Council of Economic Advisers. By selecting Miran, Trump is bringing experienced leadership back to Washington to help shape economic policy.
“Steve will work with the rest of my Economic Team to deliver a Great Economic Boom that lifts up all Americans,” Trump said in a Truth Social post on Sunday.
Miran has openly criticized the Biden administration, specifically targeting Fed Chair Jerome Powell. He condemned Powell for calling for more aggressive fiscal and monetary stimulus in Oct. 2020, just a month before the election, to boost the economic recovery during the pandemic.
Stephen Miran to Help Craft Trump’s Vision for a Booming Economy
The White House Council of Economic Advisers is a three-member team. It advises the president on economic policy. Miran will guide Trump on policy matters and be a key spokesperson to promote those decisions. He will provide insights and recommendations to shape the administration’s economic agenda. His work will help achieve its broader goals.
Currently a senior strategist at hedge fund Hudson Bay Capital Management, Miran said he was honored to be chosen. “I look forward to working to help implement the President’s policy agenda to create a booming, noninflationary economy that brings prosperity to all Americans!” he posted on X.
Miran’s appointment requires Senate confirmation. Last month, Trump named Kevin Hassett as chair of the National Economic Council. And he nominated Paul Atkins to replace Gary Gensler as SEC Chair.
Miran Sees Crypto as Catalyst for Prosperity Under Trump’s Agenda
The crypto community has shown strong support for Miran, including Michael Saylor, executive chairman of MicroStrategy. In a recent interview with The Bitcoin Layer, Miran criticized the current financial regulatory framework, calling it overly restrictive and a barrier to financial institutions.
He also pointed out the importance of innovation for economic growth, highlighting cryptocurrency’s potential role.
“I think crypto will have a big role in innovation and ushering in a Trump administration economic boom,” he said in the interview.
Milan said on X on Sunday that he looks forward “to working to help implement the President’s policy agenda to create a booming, noninflationary economy that brings prosperity to all Americans.”

TRUMP APPOINTS FORMER COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYER, GOP HOUSE NOMINEE BO HINES TO HEAD CRYPTO COUNCIL
President-elect Donald Trump announced that Bo Hines, a former college football player who ran unsuccessfully for the House of Representatives in 2022, to lead his “Crypto Council” as the Executive Director of the Presidential Council of Advisers for Digital Assets.
“In his new role, Bo will work with David [Sacks] to foster innovation and growth in the digital assets space, while ensuring industry leaders have the resources they need to succeed,” Trump wrote.
Trump also earlier appointed Stephen Miran to head his Council of Economic Advisers. Miran has previously stated that regulations inhibit innovation in the crypto sector.
In posts on Truth Social Sunday, Donald Trump appointed two new figures as advisers on economic issues.
Foremost of concern to crypto investors, Trump announced on Sunday that Bo Hines, a former college football player who secured the Republican nomination for North Carolina's 13th congressional district before succumbing to his Democratic opponent in the general election, will serve as the Executive Director of the Presidential Council of Advisers for Digital Assets, which Trump refers to as the "Crypto Council."
Trump had previously appointed David Sacks to spearhead crypto and A.I. issues at the White House, and refers to Hines working alongside Sacks in his announcement.
"In his new role, Bo will work with David to foster innovation and growth in the digital assets space, while ensuring industry leaders have the resources they need to succeed," Trump wrote. "Together, they will create an environment where this industry can flourish, and remain a cornerstone of our Nation's technological advancement."
Hines received funding in his 2022 Congressional race from pro-crypto PACs, The Block previously reported. Some of the money came from FTX executive Ryan Salame, according to Business Insider, who is currently serving a seven-and-a-half year prison sentence after pleading guilty to charges including conspiring to make unlawful political contributions.
Hines ran in the same district in 2024, but failed to secure the Republican nomination, coming in fourth place with 14.4% of the vote. Republican Addison McDowell later won the district in the general election with 69.2% of the overall vote.
Earlier on Sunday, Trump appointed former Treasury Department official Stephen Miran to chair his Council of Economic Advisers.
"I think financial regulation is excessively burdensome and prevents banks from...lending into the economy as much as they as much as they would. And I think sometimes [that] can really inhibit innovation in areas like the crypto-economy," Miran told podcast The Bitcoin Layer earlier this month.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani confirmed today, Sunday, that Iraq has regained its leading role in the region and has become an influential and effective country in its surroundings.
Al-Sudani's office stated in a statement received by "Mil" that "Al-Sudani met in the city of Mosul, today, Sunday, with a group of tribal sheikhs and representatives of the various components and spectrums in Nineveh Governorate . "
Al-Sudani stressed his keenness to "meet the sheikhs, dignitaries, religious men and elite of the province's people," indicating that "his visit to Nineveh comes within the government's work methodology to follow up on the affairs of citizens in the various provinces, lay the foundation stone for a number of projects, follow up on work at Mosul International Airport, and set the tenth of next June as the date for its opening . "
The statement continued, "All the projects that were launched today in Nineveh were destroyed by terrorism, and in the days of celebrating Victory Day over the terrorist gangs, we are rebuilding the ruins of the dark era of ISIS and working to launch new projects . "
Al-Sudani confirmed that "a series of infrastructure projects will be launched in the governorate within 30 days, and the second phase of the ring road project will begin to alleviate traffic congestion in the city," stressing that "the wheel of construction and reconstruction in the governorate continues with the solidarity of its people."
The statement explained that "the true image of the Iraqi people triumphed over what terrorism wanted in targeting security and peaceful coexistence among all components and sects," explaining that "the strife of terrorism and the foreign agenda harmed society in Nineveh, and tried to drive a wedge of division among Iraqis."
He pointed out that "Iraq today is on the right track in building a state that respects the citizen, adheres to the constitution, and builds its institutions in a way that meets the aspirations of the citizens," stressing that "Iraq has regained its leading role in the region and has become an influential and effective country in its surroundings .

The statement pointed out that "Iraq today is putting forward initiatives, solutions and positions that are consistent with the challenges in the region . "
The statement concluded: "We took the initiative to make contacts and visits with sister countries, and launched an initiative to establish security in Syria. We presented an Iraqi paper at the Aqaba Conference in Jordan regarding Syria, and it was welcomed by all brothers . "link

Tishwash: 2025.. The year of cautious optimism in Iraq
The international economics specialist, Nawar Al-Saadi, revealed, on Saturday, the future financial and economic expectations for Iraq at the beginning of the new year 2025 .
Al-Saadi told Shafaq News Agency, "The future economic and financial expectations for Iraq at the beginning of the new year carry a mixture of optimism and caution, as they depend largely on a set of economic, political and regional factors that directly affect the country's financial and economic stability ."
He added that "international estimates indicate an improvement in Iraq's economic growth rates, according to reports from the International Monetary Fund, which expected the Iraqi economy to grow by 1.4% next year, with an expected increase of 5.3% in 2025. This growth reflects the recovery of the economy after the challenges it faced in the past years, especially after the economic contraction of 2.2% in 2022, and economic growth will be mainly driven by the stability of oil prices and increased investments in non-oil sectors ."
Al-Saadi pointed out that “there are fears of a deterioration in the financial situation due to the expected deficit in the state’s general budget, as the deficit is expected to widen to 7.6% of GDP during the coming year, compared to 1.3% this year. This deficit is attributed to fluctuations in oil prices, which are the main source of government revenues, and the economic situation is further complicated by the heavy dependence on oil, which constitutes about 90% of Iraq’s revenues. Any decline in its global prices could lead to severe financial pressures on the government .”
“Other challenges relate to inflation rates, which are expected to rise slightly to 3.5% in 2025. This rise reflects the effects of financial pressures and internal economic challenges, including higher prices for goods and services as a result of increased production and import costs. In terms of oil production, Iraq is expected to continue to maintain a high level of production, with plans to boost its production capacity to around 4 million barrels per day by the first quarter of 2025. However, the success of these efforts will remain linked to political stability and relations with OPEC, in addition to achieving long-term investments in energy infrastructure, ” he added.
Al-Saadi continued: “With regard to the banking sector, the government seeks to implement structural reforms to improve the efficiency of the banking system and increase transparency. These reforms come within a larger vision to develop the Iraqi economy and diversify sources of income away from excessive dependence on oil .”
The international economics expert concluded his speech by referring to all the aforementioned data, saying that “Iraq may be facing hot economic and financial events at the beginning of the new year, and the main challenge lies in the government’s ability to manage these challenges effectively through balanced financial and economic policies that aim to enhance economic stability and diversify the economy to achieve sustainable growth link

Tishwash: Politician: Iraq has no fear of Trump reaching the White House
Independent politician Wael al-Rikabi confirmed on Sunday that Iraq will not be negatively affected by the arrival of US President Donald Trump to power in the United States, pointing out that there is an Iraqi desire to arm from new sources other than the United States.
Al-Rikabi said in an interview with Al-Maalouma Agency, “Iraq has nothing to worry about Trump coming to power in the White House or Biden staying, as it is committed to all international agreements and controls in a way that made it a pivotal state, and the visits that the country has witnessed recently are evidence of that," indicating that "Iraq is the focus of attention of all countries for what it possesses of capabilities and energies, and the state of chaos cannot be returned to it, and it has not broken "any official international agreement."
He added, "The process of changing power in America concerns the United States, and there are agreements between us and them, although the United States violated these agreements," noting that "the Americans did not provide Iraq with the sufficient weapons required, such as air defenses, and Washington did not cooperate with successful Iraqi governments in this file.”
He pointed out that "there is a desire in Iraq to arm itself with countries other than the United States after the recent events in the region, and Iraq is currently able to overcome this issue, and the existing weapons make the situation reassuring," noting that "everyone knows the extent of the United States' defense and support for the Zionist entity at the expense of the countries of the region."
It is noteworthy that several representatives and political forces warned of the danger of the Iraqi army's weak armament in light of the events taking place in the region, the latest of which was the control of terrorist groups over Syria and the threat of the Zionist entity to target Iraq. link

Tishwash: Project to remove zeros from Iran's deteriorating currency
The Iranian government has submitted a bill to the Islamic Consultative Assembly to remove four zeros from the national currency and convert its unit from the rial to the toman.
The government of Masoud Pezeshkian stated that the purpose of preparing this bill and submitting it to parliament is to “reduce the problems caused by chronic inflation and the decline in the purchasing power of the national currency,” which in recent years has led to a significant increase in daily transactions and a “clear decline in the reputation of the national currency” compared to other currencies.

Tasnim News Agency reported that this bill was approved by the second government of President Hassan Rouhani in August 2019, and has now been submitted to the parliament as an emergency bill in the fourteenth government.
An attempt is being made to preserve the “reputation” of the national currency by removing four zeros, while the Iranian rial is currently the least valuable currency in the world, and its value continues to decline, as it was exchanged against the dollar for more than 760,000 Iranian rials.
Although removing four zeros from the national currency may make trading easier in the market, the government has not explained how it expects inflation to be reduced by removing four zeros from the national currency. link

Tishwash: During 2025.. Cautious anticipation of the economic and financial reality in Iraq
Economic expert Ahmed Al-Tamimi confirmed today, Sunday (December 22, 2024), that Iraq is heading towards a cautious situation regarding its economic and financial situation during the year 2025.
Al-Tamimi told Baghdad Today: “Expectations and data confirm that Iraq is facing hot events at the beginning of the new year, and these events will have repercussions and reflections on the country’s financial and economic reality, especially with the imminent assumption of the presidency of the White House by US President-elect Donald Trump, and the fear of imposing some sanctions and financial tightening on Iraq in order to limit the smuggling of the dollar as well as limiting the Iranian role through these economic pressures.”
He added, "There is extreme caution regarding the financial and economic reality of Iraq at the beginning of the new year, especially since the Iraqi economic situation is greatly affected by any security or political event, and for this reason everyone is anticipating the coming days, and this matter has led to a decline in the buying and selling of real estate and other valuable items, for fear of any expected economic and financial shock."
The Parliamentary Finance Committee confirmed last Monday that the situation in Syria does not affect the Iraqi economy or the dollar exchange rate in the local market, noting that “the government and the Central Bank have taken several important measures to confront the security and economic challenges in the country, especially in light of the deteriorating situation in Syria.” link

Mnt Goat Do you realize how long we have been waiting for this news to get off the sole dollar in payments for imports and be done away with these corrupt currency auctions? Yes, Iraq is now officially out of the sanctioned mode of paying for imports...Can the news get any better (other than getting the RV of course…), WOW! WOW! WOW!. Yes, it’s DONE! ...I see this process moving ahead now very nicely.
Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Television is talking about the dollar exchange. FRANK: of course they are. That's all they're going to talk to you about. FIREFLY: They're saying the dollar platform is about to stop. They're saying there's a shock that's coming when the platform stops. Then they're saying the dollar will rise because of the demand. We think they are warning to be careful not to use the dollar. That's crazy. We know the dinar will have to go up... FRANK: Yeah, because it's not going to be just 1 to 1 IMO. It'll be maybe a little more than 1 to 1 which means it has more value than the American dollar.
