IQD Countdown: Is Iraq on the Verge of Revaluation?

This post is for entertainment purposes; inspired by Ariel’s posts on X.

As of June 3, 2025, momentum is building around a potential rapid revaluation of the Iraqi Dinar (IQD), fueled by unprecedented economic, political, and technological alignments. With the long-awaited Oil & Gas Law expected to pass by mid-June,

 Iraq may finally resolve decades-long disputes with the Kurdistan Region and unlock over $2 billion monthly from newly resumed Ceyhan pipeline exports.

 This would require an internationally recognized exchange rate—one the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) could enact overnight, backed by its confirmed $100 billion in reserves. Endorsements from the U.S. Treasury and IMF signal a green light for Iraq’s financial reform roadmap, while diminished Iranian influence following May’s airstrikes removes a key obstacle to Baghdad’s economic independence.

A wave of digital modernization further supports the shift. Prime Minister Al-Sudani’s push for blockchain integration—bolstered by the GENIUS Act and Iraq’s pilot use of RippleNet—prepares the banking sector for real-time international settlements at a revalued rate. 

Already, 20% of Iraq’s oil payments are processed through Ripple, showcasing Iraq’s readiness for a transparent, digitized financial future. 

Simultaneously, rising oil dominance, particularly after Iran’s export slump and a supportive OPEC backdrop, provides Iraq with the market justification to reprice its currency. The IMF’s recent praise of Iraq’s macroeconomic stability adds credibility to speculation that the CBI may act within days of the Oil & Gas Law’s passage.

But behind the public stage, a shadow operation codenamed “Golden Crescent” is reportedly unfolding. Set during Iraq’s upcoming Eid al-Adha holiday (June 6–10), the plan leverages the national closure as cover for a stealth currency reset.

 Sources allege the CBI will use the five-day shutdown to upgrade its digital systems, finalize blockchain integration, and quietly initiate a 1:1 USD to IQD revaluation, effective June 11. A secret May 15 meeting in Amman between Iraqi, IMF, and U.S. Treasury officials allegedly sealed the deal. 

Further intrigue surrounds Dubai financier Khalid al-Mansour, who funneled $5 billion into Iraqi reserves to stabilize the transition—securing Saudi Arabia’s influence over Iraq’s oil pricing for the next decade in the process.

To ensure internal stability, Al-Sudani is said to be convening a confidential summit with tribal leaders on June 7 in Najaf, enlisting their support through sacred oaths and symbolic meals. Meanwhile, citizens are unaware that blockchain-based oil credits—set to inject $500 million annually into the economy—will be distributed under the new exchange rate, a critical step masked as a routine “system upgrade.”

 All the while, subtle signs—like the holiday announcement’s color scheme matching a classified CBI directive—hint at the magnitude of what’s unfolding. Whether Iraq’s leap toward currency reform becomes a triumph of vision or a descent into volatility will be decided in the days just after Eid. For now, all eyes quietly await the rising of the Golden Crescent.
