The Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government stated that there is currently no oil available for export due to attacks on energy facilities by illegal militia groups.The Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government: The Iraqi Ministry of Oil accused the Kurdistan region of "misleading public opinion."Authorities in the Iraqi Kurdistan region issued a statement in response to accusations by the Iraqi government that it was blocking crude oil pipelines from being transported through the region.On March 15th, the International Energy Agency (IEA) issued a statement after receiving implementation plans from member countries. The agency stated that the record-breaking oil release from reserves will be immediately deployed in Asia as Asian buyers rush to fill supply gaps disrupted by the Middle East conflict. Oil destined for Europe and the Americas will not be released until the end of March. Last week, the IEA stated that the global oil market is facing its worst supply disruption in history due to the Middle East conflict effectively blocking the crucial Strait of Hormuz. Asian buyers are most reliant on oil supplies from the Middle East, making the speed of reserve releases particularly critical for the region. IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol stated on the X platform: “This will release an unprecedented amount of additional oil into the market starting March 16th. However, opening the Strait of Hormuz is crucial for restoring stable oil flows.” Globally, approximately 72% of the currently committed oil release is crude oil, and 28% is petroleum products.

Peirce of the US Securities and Exchange Commission Sees Movement on Stableco in Laws

The collapse of the stablecoin TerraUSD and a destabilizing drop in Tether, the world's biggest stablecoin by market size, have given cryptocurrency markets an overall worth of almost $1 trillion this week.


Stablecoins are digital currencies that are linked to conventional assets such as the dollar.


During an online panel discussion organized by the London-based Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum policy think tank, SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce remarked, "One area we could see some movement is around stablecoins."


"That's an area that has certainly gained a lot of attention this week," Peirce continued, highlighting the possibility for stablecoins to be used in future marketplace constructions.


She went on to say that the SEC's wide regulatory jurisdiction allows it to catch digital currencies and the technological platforms on which they are exchanged.


The instability in crypto markets, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told a Senate banking subcommittee this week, demonstrated the need for a "appropriate" regulatory structure.


In March, President Joe Biden signed an executive order mandating the government to evaluate the risks and advantages of developing a central bank digital currency, as well as other cryptocurrency problems.


Gary Gensler, the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, has stated that the agency should address stablecoin risks because asset-linked cryptocurrencies raise concerns about financial stability and monetary policy because they have features that are similar to and potentially compete with bank deposits and money market funds.


He also said that there are concerns about their potential for illegal usage.


Peirce, the SEC's lone Republican commissioner, said on Thursday that possible regulation should allow for a "trial-and-error" regulatory framework, adding that "some people have indicated it should be at the SEC; others want it to be the banking regulators."


There are many possible approaches to addressing stablecoins.


We also need to provide space for failure when it comes to experimenting."
