Goldilocks’ Global Economic News 5-24-2024
” Chairman of the Securities Commission in Iraq, Faisal Al-Haims, confirmed today, Wednesday, that the authority is studying the possibility of licensing brokerage companies to trade in shares on international stock exchanges.”
Forex is sold “in shares” through exchange-traded products (ETPs) and exchange-traded notes (ETNs).
Licensing brokerage companies to trade on the global exchange, also known as a foreign exchange (forex) market, is a necessary process that allows companies to operate in the market.
As long as global financial standards and International digital norms/regulations are followed, a forex license can be issued by regulatory authorities.
This procedure guarantees a company’s compliance with International regulatory standards. Without a license, a broker’s work is considered illegal.
These procedures will allow the Iraqi Dinar to be bought and sold on Forex when they are done. At the present time, banks are in process of learning how to do foreign currency exchanges through an electronic process.
Now, it makes sense why my friend told me they were doing foreign currency exchange training with every currency except the dinar, but this is about to change with the reclassification of the Iraqi dinar by the end of this month. Economy Gofaizen & Sherle FinJuris

I am simply sharing this report to let you know that the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is the governing body of the new QFS based on its ties to the commodity sector of the markets.
Each of our tokenized assets and opportunities for banking portfolios will have been reviewed and approved through the CFTC. CFTC 1 CFTC 2

SEC approves rule change to allow creation of ether ETFs | CNBC
The SEC has approved a rule change that paves the way for ETFs that buy and hold ether. The commission approved bitcoin ETFs less than six months ago – those funds have proven a big success for the industry.
Many of the companies that sponsor bitcoin ETFs have already started the process of launching an ether fund. The approval of ether ETFs is a sign that the SEC’s stance toward crypto may be softening. The approval for ether ETFs does not extend to other crypto projects on the Ethereum network.

Bitcoin and Ethereum are both considered a commodity. More on this tomorrow with Ethereum.
