“Enacted in November 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act expanded Section 6045 of the Internal Revenue Code to require tax reporting by brokers of transactions involving the sale or exchange of digital assets.
Nearly two years later, on August 25, 2023, the IRS and Treasury Department promulgated proposed regulations that clarify and adjust the rules regarding the tax reporting of information by brokers, so that brokers for digital assets are subject to the same information reporting rules as brokers for securities and other financial instruments.”
On October 30, 2023, the comments and rewrites to this legislative piece of the digital economy regarding taxes and reporting is expected to be done for the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
At that point, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill as it is commonly known moves toward final rules being drawn up, completed, and implemented.

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – “The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) intends to limit all domestic trade transactions to the local currency starting next year.”
I found another article letting us know that the Iraqi Dinar will go International early next year in domestic trade transactions.
They will use their local currency to make these trades around the world and the price pressures that come with it to increase demand for their currency will create authentic exchange rates.
Watch the water.
