Evidence Suggests Stablecoins Are Emerging as a Worldwide Asset Class | Globe Echo 

Stablecoin adoption is rapidly increasing, with research firm rwa.xyz reporting a 15% increase in the number of addresses holding both dollar and crypto-pegged stablecoins in 2024. Chainalysis also found that stablecoins are becoming more prominent in overall on-chain transaction activity, with increasing importance in various nations and regions.

Stablecoins, cryptocurrencies with values pegged to an external reference like the U.S. dollar, have represented over half of all on-chain transaction volume, highlighting their growing importance in the cryptocurrency market.

The adoption of stablecoins is being propelled by their ability to provide anyone with an internet connection access to the U.S. dollar, unlocking new pathways for financial inclusion. The U.S. leads in stablecoin purchases, but global demand is high, with over $40 billion purchased in March alone across diverse nations and regions.

 Stablecoins are serving as a critical bridge between traditional finance and cryptocurrency, with the stablecoin market currently valued at around $150 billion and expected to exceed $2.8 trillion by 2028.

The stablecoin market has become more competitive, with Ripple announcing plans to launch a USD-backed stablecoin on the XRP Ledger. This move is expected to generate more use cases, liquidity, and opportunities for developers, as well as provide additional crypto liquidity to service cross-border payments demand.

Stablecoins like PYUSD and Tether are being used for cross-border payments, remittances, and facilitating transactions in regions such as Latin America and the Caribbean, promoting dollar dominance and increasing access to U.S. dollars.

The growing demand for stablecoins has prompted lawmakers to focus on stablecoin legislation, with proposed regulatory frameworks aimed at maintaining the U.S. dollar’s dominance, promoting responsible innovation, protecting consumers, and combating money laundering and illicit finance. Legislation such as The Lummis-Gillibrand Payment Stablecoin Act seeks to establish a regulatory framework for payment stablecoins, requiring issuers to maintain one-to-one reserves and prohibiting unbacked, algorithmic stablecoins.

 This legislation, if passed, could accelerate institutional blockchain innovation and drive stablecoin adoption.

Despite the potential impact of stablecoin legislation on adoption, experts believe that stablecoins will continue to rise as a global asset regardless of regulations. Stablecoins provide a crucial solution for individuals in countries facing currency volatility, offering stability and facilitating commerce.

While regulations may provide more comfort for institutions using stablecoins and potentially bring banks into the stablecoin market, stablecoins have already surpassed all other types of cryptocurrencies in usage and represent over half of all transaction volume in recent months.

Overall, the adoption of stablecoins is on the rise globally, driven by their ability to provide access to the U.S. dollar, promote financial inclusion, and facilitate cross-border payments. Stablecoins are becoming increasingly important in the cryptocurrency market, with their market value expected to grow significantly in the coming years.

While stablecoin legislation may influence adoption in certain regions, experts believe that stablecoins will continue to play a crucial role in the cryptocurrency ecosystem and serve as a bridge between traditional finance and digital assets.

 People still continue to claim a re-denomination or the deletion of the zeros is somehow different than a LOP.  It's not.  It's the same thing...

We all want the same thing.  I'm telling you we do.  Would I love for the rate to change to  $3.22 per dinar?  Would I love for them to keep the current currency they have without deleting the zeros when they change that  exchange rate?   Of course I would.  But what I'm saying to you is there are many possibilities you should at least be aware of  them.  I'm not saying it's going to happen one way or another for sure, I'm just saying to you there's some things out there that  they're hiding from you...

Non-oil imports of Al-Sulaymaniyah surpass 20 billion dinars, 29 APRIL

Non-oil imports of Al-Sulaymaniyah surpass 20 billion dinars

Shafaq News/ On Friday, the non-oil imports for the governorates of Al-Sulaymaniyah and Halabja, as well as the administrations of Garmian and Raparin, amounted to approximately 20 billion dinars during the past week

According to shafafiat.com, a website operates under the auspices of the office of the PM Deputy, Qubad Talabani, non-oil imports in Al-Sulaymaniyah, Halabja, Garmian, and Raparin from April 20 to April 26, 2024, amounted to 20,119,953,306 dinars.


According to the obtained data, Al-Sulaymaniyah's revenues increased, with revenues increased from April 6 to April 12, 2024, amounting 842,422,425 dinars.

Al-Sulaymaniyah is considered a significant commercial center in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, attracting many traders from various parts of the region. The major non-oil imports in the governorate include food, clothing, electronics, building materials, machinery, and vehicles.


Most non-oil imports to Al-Sulaymaniyah come from neighboring countries such as Iran, Turkiye, Syria, and Jordan. Additionally, Al-Sulaymaniyah imports goods from countries like China, India, and Europe.

Non-oil imports play a vital role in Sulaymaniyah's economy by providing employment opportunities, stimulating economic growth, meeting the population's needs for goods and services, diversifying the local economy, and reducing reliance on oil revenues.

However, non-oil trade in Sulaymaniyah faces challenges such as bureaucracy, corruption, political instability, and exchange rate fluctuations. The local government in Sulaymaniyah is working to address these challenges to improve the business environment and attract more investments.

 When I did the evaluation [of the dinar] it was against countries and currencies that had lopped.  I had the same questions as you guys when I invested.  Where is this going?  How can this work?  I found out the value was in a policy based inflation, they want to add value to it, they injected US dollars into the economy, devalued the dinar.  The

dinar you and I have has nothing to do with hyper-inflation, major market problems or anything like that...Yes, they can add value to currencies that have a lot of zeros behind it.  Iraqi dinar is stable.  They can and are going to add value to it.

You have these currencies that have a lot of zeros behind it.  Comparing with these other currencies that LOPed, Iraq is a completely different case.  They don't have a market problem.  They don't have a customer problem.  Where is the inflation coming from It's coming from policy.  How can they add value to their currency It's all going to be based on 100% policy.  The authority comes from parliament, the Ministry of Planning, Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Iraq.  They don't need any more customers.  To add value to the currency they don't need to do anything else.

  LOP...people that are smart, economist, get this wrong.  The underlying definition is hyperinflation.  How do people fight it?  By removing the zeros.  Nothing wrong with that.  It's smart.  But it's hyperinflation.  People will point out incorrectly, look at Iraq...

The best analysis I've read is that it [the dinar] was worth at it's height 2.25 to the U.S. dollar...Iraq has never had a customer problem.  That's where you find the hidden value in this investment.  It's not hyperinflation..

There is inflation but it's 100% policy based inflation.  You had this currency that was worth a lot of money...What was their number one export?  

Energy.  Then war came along.  You had war inflation.  But did Iraq's customer base change?  No.  Did their oil producing output change?  No, it went up.  That's where you're going to find the value.  That's where the value is coming from.  That's it.

Al-Awadi explains the importance of the Prime Minister’s participation in the World Economic Forum in Saudi Arabia


 
4/27/2024
Baghdad - 



The government spokesman, Bassem Al-Awadi, explained the importance of Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani’s expected participation in the World Economic Forum, which will be held on 28-29 in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, while he stressed the government’s work to inform the world of the reality of the situation in Iraq to attract investments and transform the country’s economy from Rent-seeking to the market economy, instead of the blurry image being promoted, revealed a leap in relations between Iraq and Saudi Arabia that raised the volume of trade exchange to unprecedented extents.

Al-Awadi told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): “The Prime Minister’s visit to Saudi Arabia will be to attend the special meeting of the World Economic Forum that will be hosted by Riyadh, which is one of the largest forums and is equivalent in importance to the Davos Forum in Switzerland. The first title of this conference is international cooperation, growth and the energy sector from For development.

He added, "More than a thousand important and influential figures will attend the forum held in Saudi Arabia, including a president, a leader, a political decision-maker, heads of major economic companies, thinkers and opinion makers in the governmental and private sectors around the world."

He continued, "Therefore, this is a great opportunity for important, high-level meetings for the Prime Minister to be held with world leaders and idea and policy makers in which Iraq's current image, stability, and openness to investment and great investment opportunities in the country will be clarified. We are a country moving toward stability and need to know ourselves during... The Prime Minister’s visits, which he spoke about in Washington, showed the true picture of Iraq in response to the blurry picture that some media outlets are trying to spread.”

He pointed out, "There is confusion about the Iraqi situation, and many believe that Iraq is unstable and the situation is chaotic, and this is contrary to reality. The true position must be clarified and correct relations with the outside must be built. Officials of brotherly and friendly countries are invited to visit Iraq to get to know its situation closely and in the true form that actually exists." We tell them to visit Iraq from south to north and see the truth of the situation for yourselves and make sure that Iraq is stable and its doors are open to investment.”

Al-Awadi pointed out that "Iraq needs investments to exploit its wealth, as well as to develop the industrial and agricultural sectors, so that we can move from a rentier economy to a market economy, support the private sector, and provide more jobs in the private sector. During the Prime Minister’s visit to Washington, there was a delegation of businessmen in support of this trend." .
Regarding the relations between Baghdad and Riyadh, Al-Awadi explained, “Iraqi-Saudi relations are in continuous development and growth, and there was a leap last year under the government of Prime Minister Muhammad Shia’ al-Sudani, as trade exchange between the two countries jumped between one billion to one billion five hundred million dollars last year.” In the years before that, it was limited to $300 million or half a billion dollars.”

He pointed out, "We consider this leap in relations and cooperation a beginning, and the government is keen to expand commercial cooperation and other sectors to broader extents."

 Iraqi citizens know, everybody with a contract with Sudani knows.  It's no longer a secret, it's  no longer a game.  Notice the pattern...When you go to the banks now are they saying it's a scam?  No they're not anymore...Instead  they tell you very politely, 'Ok, we're not exchanging that currency at the moment.'

...Relax.  It's coming...

Question: "Will Aki  [Walkingstick's Iraqi Bank owner here in the US] exchange dinars for US citizens at his bank?"  Yes!  That's the whole purpose.

  Some other guru says, 'Oh, they're waiting for Article VIII.'  Man, when you hear someone say that you got to run as far away from them as possible.  Article VIII is ancient history.  It's older than mythology ...They've been in Article VIII for over a year and a half.  Catch up.

 Community comment: "Please explain there's no chance of a LOP."  Anybody that thinks this is a LOP you have to run away from them...they have no idea what they are talking about.  A LOP adds zeros to the exchange rate.  An RV and RI removes zeros.

  Sudani is going to be sharing with the Iraqi citizens soon.  I still hold to what I told you, they want to put screens up.  I know I have been mocked about it and laughed at about it.  But everything I say I'm mocked at and laughed at until a few days or a few weeks later, there it is...I believe Sudani is waiting for those screens to be put up.

exchange dinars for US citizens at his bank?"

  Yes!  That's the whole purpose.

FRANK26: SAYS

  Walking Stick was on the phone with Frank during the subway. The head of Walking Sticks, who owns banks and ATMs in Iraq and Jordan, and his friend who runs his bank in Dearborn, Michigan, are at this big meeting at the CBI, with the 964-person delegation that was in D.C. Everyone is in this meeting. 

It is the Arab Monetary Fund, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, all the companies and investors who have contracts are saying these words, about lower banknotes and a new exchange rate. Everyone knows that the exchange rate is about to change. Eddie said on television saying The budget will come to Parliament next week. Walking Stick and Frank believe that the exchange rate will rise and force parliament to hold an emergency session. Then Parliament would have to vote. There is too great a possibility of insider trading (parliament are criminals). Walking Stick says Sudani wants this now. Promises must be kept. Do you remember that they audited the banks? Maliki's State of Law Party tried to raise $600

Millions of dollars. The entire party is being shut down by the IMF, the FMA and the CBI. They were funneling funds to Iran across the border into Iran for their own enrichment. They and the private banks were closed. That's why they think that with all the corruption, they will have to announce the new exchange rate and the parliament will hold an emergency vote (after the exchange rate change). The CBI determines the exchange rate.

  Sudani and CBI are working together. Those sanctions were lifted in time for a

  Change of fee. Everyone at those meetings will be on stage with Sudani, including the two friends from Walking Sticks. Walking Stick says Sudani will make the presentation, and this will happen after that. Sudani wants it now, everyone is there waiting. It shouldn't take long.

  -All credit to Frank and his team!

Todos saben que el tipo de cambio está a punto de cambiar. Eddie dijo en la televisión diciendo El presupuesto llegará al Parlamento la próxima semana. Walking Stick y Frank creen que el tipo de cambio aumentará y obligará al parlamento a celebrar una sesión de emergencia. Luego El Parlamento tendría que votar. Existe una posibilidad demasiado grande de uso de información privilegiada (el parlamento son delincuentes). Walking Stick dice que Sudani quiere esto ahora. Las promesas deben cumplirse. ¿Recuerdan que auditaron los bancos? El Partido Estado de Derecho de Maliki intentó recaudar 600 dólares

Millones de dólares. Todo el partido está siendo cerrado por el FMI, el FMA y el CBI. Estaban canalizando fondos a Irán a través de la frontera hacia Irán para su propio enriquecimiento. Ellos y los bancos privados fueron cerrados. Por eso piensan que con toda la corrupción, tendrán que anunciar el nuevo tipo de cambio y el parlamento realizará una votación de emergencia (después del cambio de tipo de cambio). El CBI determina el tipo de cambio. 

Sudani y CBI están trabajando juntos. Esas sanciones se levantaron a tiempo para una
Cambio de tarifa. Todas las personas en esas reuniones estarán en el escenario con Sudani, incluidos los dos amigos de Walking Sticks. Walking Stick dice que Sudani hará la presentación, y esto sucederá después de eso. Sudani lo quiere ahora, todos están ahí esperando. No debería pasar mucho tiempo.
