April 01, 2023

JP Morgan's house account sells 1.07 million oz of gold or 33 tonne on the first day of the April contract. That is the largest sale in their history. A routine trade or defending the cabal's fiat?

Last night (Thursday March 30) was first notice on the April gold contract and 21,506 contracts stood for delivery. First day delivery notices were 16,923 contracts or 79% of the contracts standing for delivery. That is above the average of 45% and one of the higher fractions in the last 3 years. That is an indicator to me that there are few naked shorts.

JP Morgan's house account issued delivery notices for 10,682 contracts. That is 1,068,200 oz or 33 tonne of gold and worth more than $2 B. That is the largest issuance of delivery notices in a contract month by JP Morgan since ... ever, and it was all done on the first day of deliveries.

The first plot below shows the history of JP Morgan's monthly total issues and stops from 2009 onward. You can see that last night's delivery notices is their largest amount of gold sold in a contract month ever. This single sale yesterday accounts for nearly 10% of the gold sold by JP Morgan over this 13 year period.

The second plot shows the cumulative values. Note that this sale drives their cumulative net gold down to 569,000 oz.

 

r/SilverDegenClub - JP Morgan's house account sells 1.07 million oz of gold or 33 tonne on the first day of the April contract. That is the largest sale in their history. A routine trade or defending the cabal's fiat?

JP Morgan's sale accounts for 63% of all of the gold sold on this first notice day. The second largest seller was Standard Chartered bank at 367,200 oz or 22% of the total.

JP Morgan customer accounts were the third largest seller and accounted for 241,400 oz sold or 14%. JP Morgan's house and customers together sold 1,309,600 oz or 77% of the metal sold. That's a lotta sellin' from one place.

Editing this next 2 paragraphs based on Friday's vault report which was released at 3:15 PM:

The Friday vault report for vault movement on Thursday showed 579,000 oz transferred from eligible to registered at JP Morgan's account. That would have preceded the issuance of delivery notices. That transfer is on top of 578,000 oz transferred from eligible into registered a week ago at JP Morgan's vault. The total is 1,157,000 oz which is nearly a match of the 10,682 contracts they issued this morning (1,068,200 oz).

The net of all that sequence is ... JP Morgan had no gold in registered a week ago, then moved 1.157 million oz to registered in two tranches and has sold nearly all of it to cover shorts on the April contract. Perhaps we shall see the remaining balance of 89,000 oz sold soon.

End of edit ----

Back to the Issues and Stops report ... the largest buyers were BofA at 436,800 oz accounting for 26% of the total. CitiBank was next at 368,100 or 22% of the total. Morgan Stanley customer accounts picked up 260,300 oz or 15% of the total.

Collectively, the banks accounted for 85% of the issues and 60% of the stops.

Non-banks were net buyers of 424,300 oz. We can hope most of that goes Hasta La Vaulta soon. See my recent piece on gold vault departures being proportional to gold stops:

r/SilverDegenClub - JP Morgan's house account sells 1.07 million oz of gold or 33 tonne on the first day of the April contract. That is the largest sale in their history. A routine trade or defending the cabal's fiat?

 

Also notice the dearth of sellers and the breadth of buyers. What would the gold price have done over the last few weeks if JP Morgan hadn't been shorting the hell out of the April contract?

Is this sale a typical trade where they are attempting to maximize profit? OR, is their primary goal defending the cabal's fiat in a time of stress? I read the issues and stops report top to bottom and don't see any reasons stated.

Silver contract

Only 211 contracts stood for delivery and 167 delivery notices were issued on the March silver contract. JP Morgan's customer accounts sold 140 contracts or 84% of the total. A cut and paste of the issues and stops report ...

👀 Something Historic Just Happened In Colombia

Something historic just happened in Colombia.
An object was recovered, a metallic sphere that defies explanation.

Now it’s the center of an international investigation involving U.S. congressmen, physicists, and Dr. Steven Greer.

The object, called the Buga Sphere, was discovered by a local metal detectorist, Don José.

👉 At first, it weighed 2kg, then 6kg and then 10kg.

The same object, no external changes and weight fluctuations recorded live.

What kind of material behaves like this?

The sphere doesn’t emit radiation, but it does mess with electronics.

People near it reported metallic taste, nausea, and phones going haywire. David Vélez wore an anti-static suit just to touch it.

Not exactly your average scrap metal.

A second sphere showed up in Jumbo, caught on camera by a separate witness.

Same shape, movement, and equatorial line.
Italy’s top UAP analysts reviewed the footage.
The metadata was untouched, it wasn't CGI, it’s real.

Inside the Buga Sphere scientists discovered:

🔹Fused polymers
🔹Optical ...

"The World Order That We Are Coming Into"

If XRP is the neutral bridge for all sovereign currencies, stablecoins, and tokenized assets, then it’s not just facilitating payments, it’s capturing all that value at every level. From smart contracts to tokenized treasuries and digitized assets, XRP forms the foundation and backbone for everything in between.

With cross-border payments representing a multi-trillion-dollar corridor, that’s where the largest capital will flow and the greatest returns will come from.

At this point, you’re the gatekeeper to the digital economy. Everything else follows or fades away once regulations take effect.

You either see it or you won’t until it’s too late.

Musk Turns On Starlink to Save Iranians from Regime’s Internet Crackdown

Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and a visionary behind SpaceX, has flipped the switch on Starlink, delivering internet to Iranians amid a brutal regime crackdown.

This move comes on the heels of Israeli strikes targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities, as the Islamic Republic cuts off online access.

The former Department of Government Efficiency chief activated Starlink satellite internet service for Iranians on Saturday following the Islamic Republic's decision to impose nationwide internet restrictions.

As the Jerusalem Post reports, that the Islamic Republic’s Communications Ministry announced the move, stating, "In view of the special conditions of the country, temporary restrictions have been imposed on the country’s internet."

This action followed a series of Israeli attacks on Iranian targets.

Starlink, a SpaceX-developed satellite constellation, provides high-speed internet to regions with limited connectivity, such as remote areas or conflict zones.

Elizabeth MacDonald, a Fox News contributor, highlighted its impact, noting, "Elon Musk turning on Starlink for Iran in 2022 was a game changer. Starlink connects directly to SpaceX satellites, bypassing Iran’s ground infrastructure. That means even during government-imposed shutdowns or censorship, users can still get online, and reportedly more than 100,000 inside Iran are doing that."

During the 2022 "Woman, Life, Freedom" protests, Starlink enabled Iranians to communicate and share footage globally despite network blackouts," she added.

MacDonald also mentioned ongoing tests of "direct-to-cell" capabilities, which could allow smartphone connections without a dish, potentially expanding access and supporting free expression and protest coordination.

Musk confirmed the activation, noting on Saturday, "The beams are on."

This follows the regime’s internet shutdowns, which were triggered by Israeli military actions.

Adding to the tension, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the Iranian people on Friday, urging resistance against the regime.

"Israel's fight is not against the Iranian people. Our fight is against the murderous Islamic regime that oppresses and impoverishes you,” he said.

Meanwhile, Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran’s last monarch, called on military and security forces to abandon the regime, accusing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a Persian-language social media post of forcing Iranians into an unwanted war.

Starlink has been a beacon in other crises. Beyond Iran, Musk has leveraged Starlink to assist people during natural disasters and conflicts.

In the wake of hurricanes and earthquakes, Starlink has provided critical internet access to affected communities, enabling emergency communications and coordination.

Similarly, during the Ukraine-Russia conflict, Musk activated Starlink to support Ukrainian forces and civilians, ensuring they could maintain contact and access vital information under dire circumstances.

The genius entrepreneur, is throwing a lifeline to the oppressed in Iran, and the libs can’t stand it.

Conservative talk show host Mark Levin praised Musk’s action, reposting a message stating that Starlink would "reconnect the Iranian people with the internet and put the final nail in the coffin of the Iranian regime."

"God bless you, Elon. The Starlink beams are on in Iran!" Levin wrote.

Musk, who recently stepped down from leading the DOGE in the Trump administration, has apologized to President Trump for past criticisms, including his stance on the One Big Beautiful Bill.

GENIUS Act lets State banks conduct some business nationwide. Regulators object

The Senate passed the GENIUS Act for stablecoins last week, but significant work remains before it becomes law. The House has a different bill, the STABLE Act, with notable differences that must be reconciled. State banking regulators have raised strong objections to a provision in the GENIUS Act that would allow state banks to operate nationwide without authorization from host states or a federal regulator.

The controversial clause permits a state bank with a regulated stablecoin subsidiary to provide money transmitter and custodial services in any other state. While host states can impose consumer protection laws, they cannot require the usual authorization and oversight typically needed for out-of-state banking operations.

The Conference of State Bank Supervisors welcomed some changes in the GENIUS Act but remains adamantly opposed to this particular provision. In a statement, CSBS said:

“Critical changes must be made during House consideration of the legislation to prevent unintended consequences and further mitigate financial stability risks. CSBS remains concerned with the dramatic and unsupported expansion of the authority of uninsured banks to conduct money transmission or custody activities nationwide without the approval or oversight of host state supervisors (Sec. 16(d)).”

The National Conference of State Legislatures expressed similar concerns in early June, stating:

“We urge you to oppose Section 16(d) and support state authority to regulate financial services in a manner that reflects local conditions, priorities and risk tolerances. Preserving the dual banking system and respecting state autonomy is essential to the safety, soundness and diversity of our nation’s financial sector.”

Evolution of nationwide authorization

Section 16 addresses several issues beyond stablecoins, including preventing a recurrence of the SEC’s SAB 121, which forced crypto assets held in custody onto balance sheets. However, the nationwide authorization subsection was added after the legislation cleared the Senate Banking Committee, with two significant modifications since then.

Originally, the provision applied only to special bank charters like Wyoming’s Special Purpose Depository Institutions or Connecticut’s Innovation Banks. Examples include crypto-focused Custodia Bank and crypto exchange Kraken in Wyoming, plus traditional finance player Fnality US in Connecticut. Recently the scope was expanded to cover most state chartered banks with stablecoin subsidiaries, possibly due to concerns about competitive advantages.

Simultaneously, the clause was substantially tightened. The initial version allowed state chartered banks to provide money transmission and custody services nationwide for any type of asset, which would include cryptocurrencies. Now these activities can only be conducted by the stablecoin subsidiary, and while Section 16(d) doesn’t explicitly limit services to stablecoins, the GENIUS Act currently restricts issuers to stablecoin related activities.

However, the House STABLE Act takes a more permissive approach, allowing regulators to decide which non-stablecoin activities are permitted. If the House version prevails in reconciliation, it could result in a significant expansion of allowed nationwide banking activities beyond stablecoins.

Is it that bad?

As originally drafted, the clause seemed overly permissive.

The amended clause makes sense for stablecoin issuers. They want to have a single regulator and be able to provide the stablecoin services throughout the United States. But it also leans into the perception outside of crypto that this is just another form of regulatory arbitrage.

The controversy over Section 16(d) reflects concerns about creating a regulatory gap that allows banks to operate interstate without the oversight typically required from either federal or state authorities. As the two Congressional chambers work toward reconciliation, lawmakers must decide whether stablecoin legislation should include provisions that effectively reduce traditional banking oversight requirements.

Dubai regulator VARA classifies RWA issuance as licensed activity
Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) leads global regulatory framework - makes RWA issuance licensed activity in Dubai.

Real-world assets (RWAs) issuance is now licensed activity in Dubai.

~ Actual law.
~ Not a legal gray zone.
~ Not a whitepaper fantasy.

RWA issuance and listing on secondary markets is defined under binding crypto regulation.

It’s execution by Dubai.

Irina Heaver explained:

“RWA issuance is no longer theoretical. It’s now a regulatory reality.”

VARA defined:

- RWAs are classified as Asset-Referenced Virtual Assets (ARVAs)

- Secondary market trading is permitted under VARA license

- Issuers need capital, audits, and legal disclosures

- Regulated broker-dealers and exchanges can now onboard and trade them

This closes the gap that killed STOs in 2018.

No more tokenization without venues.
No more assets without liquidity.

UAE is doing what Switzerland, Singapore, and Europe still haven’t:

Creating enforceable frameworks for RWA tokenization that actually work.

Matthew White, CEO of VARA, said it perfectly:

“Tokenization will redefine global finance in 2025.”

He’s not exaggerating.

$500B+ market predicted next year.

And the UAE just gave it legal rails.

~Real estate.
~Private credit.
~Shariah-compliant products.

Everything is in play.

This is how you turn hype into infrastructure.

What Dubai is doing now is 3 years ahead of everyone else.

Founders, investors, ecosystem builders:

You want to build real-world assets onchain.

Don’t waste another year waiting for clarity.

Come to Dubai.

It’s already here.
