A U.S. TREASURY-ISSUED GOLD-BACKED STABLECOIN? ⚖️ Dr. Judy Shelton told me she envisions a “Solidus”. A modern digital currency partially backed by a gold-convertible Treasury. A nod to the ancient Roman coin that stood for strength and trust. This idea could fuse blockchain transparency with sound-money integrity. Imagine a U.S.-issued digital dollar tied to gold not by decree, but by convertibility restoring faith in money while harnessing technology to enable faster, borderless transactions. It’s a vision where the oldest store of value meets the newest form of exchange. Judy Shelton

GOLD TELEGRAPH CONVERSATION #9 CHRIS LEAVY "If you landed here from Mars and were told the reserve currency comes from a country with 125% debt-to-GDP, 6% deficits as far as the eye can see, sanctions countries, threatens tariffs, and represents just 4% of humanity — you'd ask: why is that the reserve currency?" Chris Leavy is a seasoned voice in global finance. He began his career in traditional asset management and rapidly rose to oversee billion-dollar mandates at firms like OppenheimerFunds, Morgan Stanley, and BlackRock. Having served as a senior executive inside some of Wall Street’s most powerful institutions, Chris brings a rare insider’s perspective on how capital, power, and policy intersect. In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore the future of the U.S. dollar, the return of gold as a strategic asset, central bank behavior, debt reflexivity, de-dollarization, and the geopolitical significance of mining and supply chains in a multipolar world. Chris makes a compelling case that dollar hegemony is no longer a feature of strength, but inertia. He explains why central banks are quietly preparing for a tokenized, post-dollar system — with gold increasingly at the center. He also shares personal turning points, including why 2022 marked a shift in his worldview, how mining is becoming a geopolitical lever, and why quantitative easing may not be “free” the next time around. Thank you to Chris for joining me on this episode. I hope you enjoy. TIMESTAMPS: (00:45) : Early career in asset management — lessons on conviction, patience, and managing long-term investment theses. (04:33) : Strategy vs. timing — Why strategy usually wins, except when leverage is involved. (08:15) : Inside Wall Street — lessons on agendas, incentives, and how power revolves around talent and money. (11:26) : Turning to gold — Chris explains what led him to shift focus from Wall Street to gold and mining, a sector often ignored by traditional finance. (16:19) : Evolving gold views — Since 2022, rising deficits, de-dollarization, and central bank actions reinforcing gold’s strategic role. (18:32) : Gold as a strategic asset — In 2022, Chris recognized gold as the true alternative to the dollar, validated by central bank buying. (19:44) : Strategic blind spot — Wall Street isn’t ignoring gold deliberately, but their models can’t account for a world beyond dollar dominance. (24:00) : Mining and geopolitics —How control over critical minerals and supply chains is becoming a key source of geopolitical leverage. (26:14) : Gold and sovereignty — In a shifting world order, owning gold remains essential to making the rules and reducing reliance on the dollar. (29:09) : The dollar’s status is no longer about strength, but habit, and its erosion is already underway. (31:31) : Trust in the dollar —The comparison of U.S. dollar reliance to a supply chain vulnerability the Global South is actively working to reduce. (35:13) : Yield curve control —A future where Fed intervention as likely, with quantitative easing used to manage rising long-term rates. (36:48) : Threat to dollar hegemony — De-dollarization is already underway gradually and could accelerate, especially if bond markets react sharply. (39:52) : The Fed’s role — The Fed has long been politicized and has drifted from its mission of preserving the dollar’s value. (41:31) : U.S. fiscal crisis — Low odds of a bipartisan solution, citing political gridlock, rising interest costs, and entitlement pressures. (44:47) : The new system —a multipolar world with faster, tokenized transactions and gold playing a key role through digital convertibility. (47:03) : Preparing for a reset (49:27) : Central bank gold buying — There’s still plenty of runway, as gold remains a small share of reserves and many countries are just getting started. (51:49) : Tokenization benefits (54:41) : Price discovery today — Chris says price signals still exist, but interventions like QE have distorted markets—especially in bonds. (56:31) : When intervention replaces trust — Chris warns that excessive market control leads to negative feedback loops, and QE may undermine the dollar if confidence breaks. (1:00:07) : Reasons for hope

Incredible and rarely discussed. Paul Volcker... the man at the center of the 1971 collapse of Bretton Woods, told Judy Shelton he never intended for the gold link to disappear permanently. “We thought we might move gold to $38 or maybe $40… then reinstate the system.” That changes how you view modern monetary history. The temporary emergency became the permanent global monetary order. Watch the full video:

GOLD AND THE PEOPLE: A HEALTHY SHIFT IN POWER Dr. Judy Shelton told me something remarkable. If gold becomes part of a new digital architecture, it could move monetary power away from central banks and back toward nations and people who hold gold. “There’s too much power held by some bankers,” she said. “It violates basic norms of democratic governance. A gold-linked system would return power to the people who comprise the economy... not central planners.” She explained that under a gold standard, anyone can act on trust: “At any time, you can say, I’m starting not to trust the fiat currency. I’m going to convert.” That simple choice automatically disciplines the system... shrinking the money supply and restoring balance. A more organic, self-correcting gold link, she said, would be a healthy transformation for the global economy. Judy Shelton

Wall Street veteran who once oversaw $115 billion in assets told me yesterday: "The gold industry needs to lean into tokenization. It elevates gold’s utility and makes transactions possible. Remember... under the gold standard, the dollar was just a token for gold. Now we just need the digital version." Things are going to get very interesting...
