Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

TRUMP'S CRYPTO DEALINGS ARE MAKING REGULATION 'MORE COMPLICATED': HOUSE FINANCIAL SERVICES CHAIR

Rep. French Hill offered a rare rebuke of the president’s crypto dealings from within his own party, as multiple crypto bills make their way through Congress.

House Financial Services Committee Chair French Hill (R-AR) said Monday that the personal cryptocurrency dealings of President Donald Trump and his family have made drafting legislation for the novel sector “more complicated,” in a rare rebuke of the president’s personal activities by a key member of congressional Republican leadership.

Hill specifically named the president’s meme coin and stablecoin projects as two endeavors that have negatively impacted the work of lawmakers racing to create rules for the digital assets industry.  

“They have made our work more complicated,” Hill told reporters Monday, in reference to those projects.

Since returning to power, Trump and his inner circle have rapidly expanded their crypto portfolios at the same time that the president is determining policies with direct impact on those same assets and sectors.

 In recent months, Trump and business partners have launched a Solana meme coin and an Ethereum decentralized finance platform called World Liberty Financial, which recently announced its own stablecoin.

Meme coins are speculative crypto assets that derive their value from cultural significance—and which the SEC recently likened to “collectibles”—while stablecoins are digital assets designed to keep a steady peg to the U.S. dollar.

Trump and his family have already netted hundreds of millions of dollars from such endeavors; unrealized earnings from the same projects number in the billions.

Trump’s existing businesses have also aggressively expanded their exposure to crypto in the same period. Last week, the company that runs the president’s Truth Social media platform announced a partnership with Crypto.com to offer crypto ETFs.

Just this morning, the president’s son, Eric and Don Jr, inked a deal to launch their own Bitcoin mining venture.

At the same time, the president has signed multiple executive orders with direct impact on the crypto industry. Further, White House officials are currently, at his direction, working with Republicans in Congress to help shape key pieces of legislation that will create, for the first time, an American crypto regulatory regime.

Earlier this month, the president’s AI and crypto czar, David Sacks, dismissed the president’s personal crypto endeavors as “irrelevant” to industry regulation.

But it appears patience among congressional Republicans over the scope of those lucrative schemes may be waning. The House Financial Services Committee is set to mark up its version of proposed stablecoin legislation, the STABLE Act, on Wednesday, and will soon consider a newer version of a market structure bill, according to comments made by Chair Hill Monday.

A parallel stablecoin bill is also currently making its way through the Senate. Such bills, if passed into law, would for the first time offer a clear path to legal certainty for a variety of crypto projects and companies, based on their compliance with new rules currently being ironed out. 

Their passage is anticipated to bring with it a wave of investment and support for the crypto industry from traditional finance institutions that until now have been waiting on the sidelines.

Though those bills possess bipartisan support, Trump’s personal business dealings have offered resistant Democrats a convenient means to protest their passage.

Last week, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) denounced the Trump-backed World Liberty Financial stablecoin, USD1, as a “grift,” and tied the project to pending crypto legislation.

“Congress should step up and fix the current stablecoin bill moving through the Senate that will make it easier for Trump—and Elon Musk—to take control of your money,” she said.

BRICS NATION TURNS TO NORTH KOREA: COULD MEMBERSHIP BE NEARING?

For the first three months of the year, the West and the Global South have been engaged in a notable faceoff. Moreover, with a variety of factors playing into this growing tension, one BRICS nation has turned to North Korea as an unlikely ally as a membership for the country could be nearing.

The alliance has been confronted with an increasingly aggressive US President, Donald Trump. Specifically, Trump has threatened 150% tariffs on the countries for their part in global de-dollarization efforts. Now, another aspect of those disagreements could see North Korea become an unlikely ally for the alliance.

BRICS Look to North Korea as Alliance Could Be Forming

The BRICS bloc and the United States have created the basis for a potential trade war in 2025. China has sought to issue reciprocal tariffs as the alliance is caught in the crossfire of the US administration’s aggressive economic policy. Moreover, the bloc has turned to Russia, threatening increased sanctions as a means to fast-track an end to the Ukraine War.

Now, those talks may be continuing to brew a rather surprising allegiance on the global scale. Specifically, the BRICS bloc has sought out help from North Korea, as rumors of potential membership continue to surface. Indeed, Russia has gone to the nation for help. It is seeking an end to the ongoing Ukraine war on its own terms.

Russian President Vladimir Putin recently suggested that Ukraine be placed under a “temporary administration,” according to reports. Moreover, he noted this would be done “under the auspices of the UN, the United States, European countries, and our partners.”

Moreover, Putin called on specific countries to be involved in the ongoing talks for peace.

 “This is not only the United States but also the People’s Republic of China, India, Brazil, and South Africa—all BRICS countries,” he said. Moreover, he also noted that “the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea” would be included.

Putin’s relationship with the nation has been well documented. Additionally, in his inclusion of the nation, he used its official name. The move could be seen as an attempt to increase strategic cooperation. For Moscow, that may include seeking BRICS membership. However, there is still the belief that it would have a hard time getting full support from other bloc participants.

Clare:  Rafidain Bank CEO: The bank is at the beginning of a new phase with greater influence on the Iraqi financial landscape.

3/31/2025

 Rafidain Bank General Manager Ali Al-Fatlawi announced that "the bank is at the beginning of a new phase, one that is more advanced and influential in the Iraqi financial landscape."

Al-Fatlawi said in a press statement, "The bank has witnessed a qualitative transformation in recent years, becoming a pillar of the modern Iraqi banking sector."

He explained, "We have contracted with the American University of Baghdad to implement advanced programs in banking management, financial risks, and compliance," noting that "advanced systems have been adopted to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, including the UN-backed GoAML system."

Al-Fatlawi continued, "We launched a team dedicated to developing banking initiatives and contributed to settling electronic payment revenues for most government departments."

He added, "We launched electronic payment services that made it easier for employees and retirees to receive their benefits. We aspire to make Rafidain Bank a model of banking leadership in Iraq and the region."  LINK

Clare:  Rafidain Bank General Manager: Financial technology is the future of the banking sector in Iraq.

3/31/2025- Baghdad

Rafidain Bank's General Manager, Ali Al-Fatlawi, confirmed that the bank has witnessed a qualitative transformation in recent years, becoming a pillar of the modern Iraqi banking sector through adopting financial technology, enhancing banking inclusion, and adhering to international standards of integrity and compliance.

Al-Fatlawi said in a statement reported by the official news agency, and reviewed by "Al-Eqtisad News," that the success was not merely the result of administrative decisions, but rather an integrated vision based on investing in human capital, building strategic partnerships, and upgrading banking services in accordance with the latest international standards.

Al-Fatlawi believes that no financial institution can achieve success and sustainability without qualified personnel possessing modern skills. Therefore, investing in the development of the bank's employees was one of our main priorities. We allocated large budgets for training, sent our staff to educational programs inside and outside Iraq, and contracted with the American University in Baghdad to implement advanced programs in banking management, financial risks, and compliance.

The General Manager of Rafidain Bank added that enhancing financial integrity was a priority, and we adopted advanced systems to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, including the UN-supported GoAML system, and cooperated with the global company K2 to develop compliance systems. He indicated that these steps strengthened the confidence of international regulatory and banking authorities in the bank and contributed to improving our position in the financial market.

He pointed out that financial inclusion is not an option, but an economic necessity. Therefore, we launched a team specialized in developing banking initiatives and contributed to the settlement of electronic payment revenues for most government departments, which reduced reliance on cash. We also launched electronic payment services that facilitated the easy collection of dues for employees and retirees.

He announced the launch of the ATM service for the first time, and the introduction of a savings card as a new service to enable customers to invest their money intelligently. We are also in the process of issuing a credit card, which will facilitate financial transactions inside and outside Iraq, placing us among the ranks of digitally advanced banks.

The General Manager of Rafidain Bank pointed to the establishment of partnerships with global institutions such as Ernst & Young (EY) to develop banking governance, and with K2 Global to enhance financial compliance, noting that these partnerships have increased the efficiency of our operations and made us more compliant with international banking standards.

He explained that Rafidain Bank is at the beginning of a new, more advanced and influential phase in the Iraqi financial landscape, as we continue to launch digital services, enhance financial inclusion, and expand our international partnerships. He indicated that we aspire to make Rafidain Bank a model of banking leadership in Iraq and the region.   LINK

STABLECOINS, TOKENIZED ASSETS GAIN AS TRUMP TARIFFS LOOM

Crypto investors shift into stablecoins and real-world assets as Trump’s April 2 trade tariffs spark volatility and macroeconomic uncertainty fears.

Cryptocurrency investors are increasingly moving capital into stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) in a bid to avoid volatility ahead of US President Donald Trump’s widely anticipated tariff announcement on April 2.

Increasingly, more capital is flowing into stablecoins and the real-world asset (RWA) tokenization sector, which refers to financial products and tangible assets such as real estate and fine art minted on the blockchain.

“Stablecoins and RWAs continue to see steady inflows of capital as safe havens in the current uncertain market,” crypto intelligence platform IntoTheBlock wrote in a March 31 X post.

“However, because these assets reside on-chain, even slight shifts in sentiment can trigger significant price movements, driven by the lower barriers to reallocating capital in real time,” the firm noted.

The flight to safety is mainly attributed to geopolitical tensions and global trade concerns, according to Juan Pellicer, senior research analyst at IntoTheBlock:

“Many investors were expecting economic tailwinds following Trump's inauguration as president, but increased geopolitical tensions, tariffs and general political uncertainty are making investors more cautious.”

“This is not unreasonable, as even though global growth forecasts remain positive, growth expectations have decreased globally in recent months,” he added.

The prospect of a global trade war has heightened inflation-related concerns, causing a significant decline in both cryptocurrency and traditional equity markets.

Bitcoin has fallen 19% and the S&P 500 (SPX) index has fallen over 7% in the two months since Trump announced import tariffs on Chinese goods on Jan. 20, the day of his inauguration as president.

The April 2 announcement is expected to detail reciprocal trade tariffs targeting top US trading partners. The measures aim to reduce the country’s estimated $1.2 trillion goods trade deficit and boost domestic manufacturing.

Investor sentiment pressured by April 2 Trump tariff announcement

Global tariff fears and uncertainty around the upcoming announcement continue to pressure investor sentiment in global markets.

“Risk appetite remains muted amid tariff threats from President Trump and ongoing macro uncertainty,” Iliya Kalchev, dispatch analyst at digital asset investment platform Nexo, told Cointelegraph.

Meanwhile, RWAs reached a new cumulative all-time high of over $17 billion on Feb. 3, and are currently less than 0.5% away from surpassing the $20 billion milestone, according to data from RWA.xyz.

Some industry watchers said that Bitcoin’s lack of upside momentum may drive RWAs to a $50 billion all-time high before the end of 2025, as their increased liquidity will help RWAs attract a significant share of the $450 trillion global asset market.

RHODE ISLAND BILL WOULD ALLOW STATE RESIDENTS SPEND $10,000 MONTHLY IN BITCOIN TAX FREE

A bill introduced to the Rhode Island Senate would enable the state’s residents to spend or sell just under $1,000 in bitcoin 10 times per month without incurring state capital gains taxes.

Bill S. 0451, which was introduced to the Rhode Island Senate last month, permits the state’s residents and businesses to make up to 10 payments in bitcoin valued at less than $1,000 per month (or sell the equivalent amount) without being subject to state capital gains taxes.

The bill is an amendment to existing state income tax laws, and the exact language in the proposed legislation is as follows:

“Any sale of [b]itcoin by an individual or business in Rhode Island shall be exempt from state taxation if the total value of sales is less than one thousand dollars ($1,000) per diem. The limit of the state tax exempt [b]itcoin transaction shall not exceed ten (10) sales per a thirty (30) day cycle.”

And the bill defines a “sale of [b]itcoin” as “any transaction in which [b]itcoin is sold or exchanged for another form of value, such as fiat currency or other physical or digital assets.”

The bill also clarifies that this exemption only applies at the state level and that it doesn’t affect federal tax obligations.

Under the bill, individuals and businesses who engage with these types of tax-exempt bitcoin transactions are responsible for keeping records of these transactions, including the total value of sales per day, and should be prepared to provide these records to the Rhode Island’s department of revenue for audit or compliance purposes.

In a slide deck prepared by the Rhode Island Blockchain Council that was shared with Bitcoin Magazine, Chris Perrotta, Chairman of the Council, wrote that the passing of Bill S. 0451 would help to reduce friction for digital asset payments.

He stated that “current tax implications of spending BTC hamper its utility for Rhode Island citizens and stifle economic activity.”

Perrotta also noted that the passing of this bill would stimulate blockchain-based economic activity in the state, making Rhode Island one of the states at the forefront of this technology.

What is more, he also proposed that small businesses accept bitcoin for products and services as a means to stimulate economic growth.

Thus far, no other U.S. states have introduced comparable bills.

At the federal level, the only bill that has proposed something similar is the Lummis-Gillibrand “Responsible Financial Innovation Act”, which provides a de minimus tax exemption on bitcoin transactions valued up to $200.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

CALIFORNIA INTRODUCES ’BITCOIN RIGHTS’ IN AMENDED DIGITAL ASSETS BILL

California Democrat Avelino Valencia has amended a money transmission bill to make Bitcoin and crypto rights a major focus, potentially benefitting the state’s 39.4 million residents.

A Californian lawmaker has just added Bitcoin and crypto investor protections to a February-introduced money transmission bill aimed at securing crypto self-custody rights for the US state’s nearly 40 million residents.

California’s Assembly Bill 1052 was introduced as the Money Transmission Act on Feb. 20, 2025, but was amended by Democrat and Banking and Finance Committee chair Avelino Valencia on March 28 to include several Bitcoin  and crypto-related investor protections.

The amendments remove the term “Money Transmission Act,” renaming the legislation to “Digital Assets.”

“California often sets the national blueprint for policy, and if Bitcoin Rights passes here, it can pass anywhere,” Satoshi Action Fund CEO Dennis Porter said in a March 30 statement.

“Once passed, this legislation will guarantee nearly 40 million Californians the right to self-custody their digital assets without fear of discrimination.”

The bill would also deem the use of a digital financial asset as a valid and legal form of payment in private transactions and would prohibit public entities from restricting or taxing digital assets solely based on their use as payment.

The bill would also expand the scope of California’s Political Reform Act of 1974 to prohibit a public official from issuing, sponsoring or promoting a digital asset, security or commodity.

“A public official shall not engage in any transaction or conduct related to a digital asset that creates a conflict of interest with their public duties,” one section of the AB 1052 states.

AB 1052 is now in the “desk process” — meaning the bill has been formally introduced and is awaiting its first reading.

A total of 99 merchants currently accept Bitcoin payments in California, BTC Maps data shows.

Ripple Labs, Solana Labs and Kraken are among the largest crypto firms based in California.

A stablecoin-related bill was also introduced in California on Feb. 2, 2025, which aims to provide more clarity over stablecoin collateral requirements, liquidation processes, redemption and settlement mechanisms requirements and security audits.

Bitcoin-related bills and measures near 100 at the US state level

According to Bitcoin Law, 95 Bitcoin-related bills or measures have been introduced at the state level in 35 states, including 36 Bitcoin reserve bills that are still live.

The Texas Senate passed a Bitcoin strategic reserve bill in a 25-5 vote on March 6, while Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear signed a Bitcoin Rights bill into law on March 24.

Earlier this month, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a Digital Asset Stockpile, both of which will initially use cryptocurrency forfeited in government criminal cases.

JAPAN EYES GIVING CRYPTO ASSETS LEGAL STATUS: REPORT

Japan plans to reclassify cryptocurrencies as financial products and implement insider trading restrictions similar to those for traditional financial markets, Nikkei reported Sunday.

For these changes, Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) is looking to submit legislation to its parliament as early as 2026, following closed-door consultations with industry experts.

The proposed changes would revise the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, positioning digital assets differently from securities while acknowledging their investment characteristics.

While specific criteria on the restriction remain under consideration, Nikkei reports that those would likely "resemble" what's already in place for "conventional financial products."

Japan's Financial Instruments and Exchange Act regulates securities and financial instruments categorizing them as either traditional, "Paragraph I Securities" (like bonds and shares) or "Paragraph II Securities" (including trust interests and partnership stakes).

The Act establishes distinct regulatory requirements for public offerings versus private placements, with public offerings generally requiring securities registration statements and continuous reporting.

Meanwhile, collective investment schemes, which proof-of-stake chains could fall under, are used for real estate securitization in Japan. Those face operator registration requirements with specific exemptions only available for qualified institutional investors.

The regulatory shift comes as Japan opens up to crypto adoption, establishing new frameworks and acknowledging how crypto has expanded its use cases from payments to investments and more, urging regulators to redefine how they oversee the sector.

Crypto investments are taxed "up to 55%" in the country, while financial products such as ETFs "face only 20% capital gains tax," Tiger Research senior research analyst Jay Jo told Decrypt.

With better safety measures and if lowered alongside how financial products are treated, this could "attract more institutions to crypto investments," Jo said.

Late last year, Japanese lawmakers urged their regulators to pursue a National Bitcoin Reserve. The country is also home to Metaplanet, a Bitcoin treasury company that has acquired 3,350 BTC so far with plans to add more.

Tishwash:  Central Bank: We will launch a major initiative to finance industrial projects

The Central Bank of Iraq announced on Sunday its intention to launch a major initiative to finance industrial projects in cooperation with the Trade Bank of Iraq and the Industrial Bank.

"We are currently making arrangements to finance major industrial projects through coordination between the Trade Bank of Iraq and the Industrial Bank. This will be done by utilizing the liquidity available at the Trade Bank of Iraq and recycling this money in the Industrial Bank to launch a major initiative to finance industrial projects in Iraq, which will soon see the light of day," Central Bank Governor Ali Al-Alaq told the National News Agency, as reported by Kalamah News.

He added, "This initiative was recently proposed by the Cabinet as part of the government's banking sector reform program and government measures with the Central Bank," noting that "the Cabinet agreed to cooperate between government banks with a financial surplus to finance a package of industrial projects through the Industrial Bank."

He explained that "all other projects are funded according to their sectoral channels, as part of the government's general approach to supporting industrial, agricultural, housing, education, health, investment, and other projects."  link

Tishwash:  Iraq is accelerating its efforts to wean itself off Iranian gas. What are the immediate alternatives? 

Member of the Parliamentary Electricity and Energy Committee, Hatem Al-Saadi, confirmed on Sunday that the government has begun to look for alternatives to Iranian gas to power power plants, especially with the approaching summer season and increased energy demand. He also pointed to a number of alternatives to compensate for Iranian gas, which is under US sanctions.

Al-Saadi said, "The move toward clean energy has become a foregone conclusion, especially after the imposition of US sanctions on the Islamic Republic of Iran and the resulting damage to Iraq. The Iraqi government had to find alternatives to Iranian gas, which will lead to a significant shortage in electricity supply next summer."

Al-Saadi added, "Solutions must be immediate and swift. There are gas imports from abroad, offshore platforms after construction, and oil pipelines being constructed by the Oil Projects Company from the ports to the power plants in Basra Governorate."

Al-Saadi continued, "The government has begun to move toward renewable energy and existing waste, especially since a number of investment companies are interested in generating electricity by establishing stations after incinerating existing waste in Iraq." He noted that "there is a directive from the Ministry of Electricity to all governorates to provide plots of land for this purpose."

The parliamentary energy member continued, "Electricity is a crucial element, and the government has taken proactive steps to minimize the damage caused by the Iranian gas cutoff. If there is a shortage of electricity, we could witness demonstrations due to the deterioration of electricity services over the past 20 years, due to the rampant corruption of successive governments, without any deterrent to all these corrupt individuals."

Al-Saadi pointed out that "gas imports will currently be from Qatar and the Sultanate of Oman, which are the closest and best options, given their proximity to the Arabian Gulf."  link

20 Reasons Why the Federal Reserve is at the Heart of our Economic Problems

20 Reasons Why the Federal Reserve is at the Heart of our Economic Problems

Epic Economist:  3-31-2025

Many Americans feel a sense of unease about the state of the economy. The national debt has ballooned to a staggering $36 trillion, and total societal debt sits at a colossal $102 trillion.

While political debates often center on blaming Democrats or Republicans for this predicament, a deeper understanding reveals a more complex and potentially troubling truth: the system itself may be designed to generate debt.

At the heart of this system lies the Federal Reserve, an institution often misunderstood by the general public. Ask the average American to explain its role, and you’ll likely encounter blank stares or vague definitions. This lack of understanding is a significant problem because many believe the Federal Reserve wields immense power over our economic future.

So, what exactly is the Federal Reserve? Many assume it’s a government agency, but this isn’t entirely accurate. In fact, the Federal Reserve has argued in court that it is not an agency of the federal government. This highlights a critical distinction: the Federal Reserve is, in essence, a privately owned banking cartel.

This private entity holds a perpetual monopoly over our monetary system, granted by the U.S. Congress. This means it has the power to create money, set interest rates, and influence the overall financial health of the nation.

Critics argue that this power has been used to systematically erode the value of the U.S. dollar, cripple the economy, and push the government toward bankruptcy.

The Federal Reserve operates with a veil of secrecy, often acting as if it is not accountable to the American people. Yet, its decisions have a profound impact on the lives of every single American citizen, from the interest rate on their mortgage to the price of groceries.

Understanding the Federal Reserve is crucial to understanding the current economic climate. Its structure, its powers, and its actions are not always transparent, but they are arguably the driving force behind many of the economic challenges we face today.

Once you grasp the fundamental role the Federal Reserve plays, you begin to see economic issues through a new and potentially more critical lens.

Instead of simply pointing fingers at political parties, it’s imperative to delve into the mechanics of the Federal Reserve, question its autonomy, and demand greater transparency. Only then can we begin to have a truly informed conversation about the future of our economy and hold accountable the institutions that shape it.

 Is the Federal Reserve solely to blame? Perhaps not. But ignoring its influence is no longer an option if we want to understand, and ultimately address, the mounting economic pressures facing the nation.

UK FREEZES MILLIONS IN CRYPTO SINCE IMPLEMENTING NEW POWERS

According to an investigation by MailOnline, UK authorities have frozen approximately £6 million ($7.7 million) in crypto since new enforcement powers came into effect last year.

The measures, introduced in April 2024, allow police, law enforcement agencies, and HMRC to freeze suspicious cryptocurrency wallets for up to three years.

Court documents reviewed over the past six months reveal the largest single freezing order was for £1.5 million worth of cryptocurrency held in a wallet hosted by US-based exchange Coinbase.

HMRC requested this order and issued it at Newcastle Upon Tyne Magistrates’ Court on March 18.

The total frozen amount could be higher, as court data from Courtsdesk only covers the past six months due to legal restrictions. The new powers were designed to address the growing use of digital currencies for money laundering, tax evasion, and terrorism financing.

Legal expert says £6 million is a modest amount

Legal experts offer differing perspectives on the importance of these seizures. Nick Barnard, a cryptocurrency legal specialist and partner at Corker Binning, described the £6 million figure as relatively modest “in the grand scheme.” Barnard noted that the new enforcement regime started from scratch last April and needs time to develop fully.

However, lawyer Siobhain Egan told MailOnline that the government is directing increased resources toward freezing cryptocurrency assets. This is part of an aggressive strategy to combat money laundering and terrorism financing, Egan adds.

The freezing process usually involves investigators applying for orders without notifying the alleged criminals. This prevents them from moving Bitcoin  or other crypto.

“If police have a major investigation into organized criminals laundering money through crypto, they will go in and seize the assets before they finalize the investigation,” Egan explained.

The UK government is improving its cryptocurrency enforcement actions through the Crime and Policing Bill. The legislation includes provisions for valuing cryptocurrency, implementing procedures for courts to recover illicit funds, and granting the Crown Court expanded powers to issue seizure orders.

BRICS TO GREENLIGHT CROSS-BORDER PAYMENT SYSTEM TO COUNTER US DOLLAR?

One of the biggest storylines to develop this year has been the ongoing turmoil between the West and the global south. Since his arrival, US President Donald Trump has targeted the group in an effort to end its de-dollarization plans. However, those may be set to take a step forward as the BRICS are lining up a new cross-border payment system that could counter the US dollar.

The bloc has continued to stand by its hopes of diversifying global finance. Although it has not targeted the greenback directly, its moves have sought to lessen reliance on the currency as a global reserve asset. Now, their latest plan may be forwarding that effort, and Trump’s interpretation could have massive ramifications.

BRICS to Launch Cross-Border Payment System: How Will Trump Respond?

At the start of the year, US President Donald Trump threatened BRICS nations with 150% tariffs. Specifically, the move was seeking to counter its promotion of local currencies. This was primarily driven by that promotion, resulting in a lessening of the US dollar’s status.

Although the bloc has capitulated since the warning was issued, things may be changing. Indeed, the BRICS bloc may be nearing a green light for a cross-border payment system that could affect US dollar reliance. Now, all eyes are on what that could mean for the greenback and how Trump will respond.

According to a recent report, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov discussed the development of the payment system on Friday. “At the BRICS platform, we are considering our various financial innovations,” he said. 

Moreover, he added that this includes “a cross-border payment system, which can be based, in addition to bilateral settlements, on national currencies, taking into account digital technologies and digital financial assets.”

That highlights the system to be critically focused on alternative currencies to the US dollar. Moreover, that pursuit is nothing new to the BRICS members. It has long been subjected to harsh Western sanctions and has since sought to settle trades in alternative currencies. With the rising prominence of crypto, that could also be used in this new payment platform.

It will likely do what similar BRICS projects have done in the past: provide a key area of exploration for developing nations and align countries. It will threaten the US dollar, but not by much. The currency won’t be dethroned as the top global reserve asset. However, the question is now if President Trump will see it that way.

MarkZ  [via PDK]   I continue to hear from bond contacts that they were told they would conclude their transactions this coming week. They have been telling me that now for about 3 days. They are exceptionally hopeful that this movie is coming to an end and the roller coaster ride is almost over.  I was always told when the bond holders get paid – currency folks...will go within 3-10 days.

Militia Man  1310 is not a traditional currency.  What Iraq used to be is a 'previous era' from the old  'glory days', that was a traditional value.  Is it going to be something like that?  We're going to have to wait and see but obviously they're getting ready to show and launch a digital dinar in the country of Iraq.
