🧠 Editor’s Note – Start Here If You Missed It

This tracker is built on the thesis unveiled in our April 11th edition:
👉 Trump’s 4D Monetary Chess & The Mara Lago Accords

In that issue, we unpacked how tariffs, stablecoins, and global trade realignments are all part of a deeper strategy to re-engineer the monetary world order.

If you haven’t read it yet, start there — it provides the full context for the moves we’re now tracking live, week to week.

📍What follows is the first installment of our Monetary Chessboard Tracker — your intel brief on global realignments, stablecoin rails, tokenized assets, and macro-critical alpha.

🌍 Global Macro Narrative

We’ve entered a full-scale monetary rewire. Tariffs, alliances, and token rails are no longer isolated topics — they are weapons in the geopolitical chess match.

Trump’s Mara Lago strategy isn’t just theory anymore. We’re watching real-world moves unfold in real time — and they have direct implications for stablecoins, Bitcoin, and digital finance rails.

This is your weekly map of the monetary battlefield.
