EXPLAINED: BRICS LAUNCHES A GOLD-BACKED CURRENCY: THE "UNIT"📢 It's called the "Unit." This is a live prototype for an alternative to the US dollar in international trade. 🧪 What Is It? A digital currency for trade between BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa). It's backed by a basket of their local currencies and physical gold. 🔧 How It Works (Simplified): Step 1: The "Basket" is Created. A "Unit Reserve Basket" holds: ➡️ 40% in physical gold (40 grams for the first test batch). ➡️ 60% in five BRICS currencies (12% each: Real, Yuan, Rupee, Ruble, Rand). Step 2: Units Are Issued. On October 31, 2025, 100 Units were created. Each Unit was worth exactly 1 gram of gold. Step 3: Value Fluctuates with the Market. The Unit's value changes daily based on the strength of the currencies in the basket vs. gold. ➡️ By December 4, the basket's value had adjusted to 98.23 grams of gold. ➡️ Therefore, 1 Unit = 0.9823g of gold. 🎯The Goal: Trade Without Dollars. Countries could use Units to settle transactions, reducing reliance on the US dollar and keeping their gold reserves within their own borders. ⚠️ Important Caveats: ➡️ This is a test pilot, not an official, adopted currency. ➡️ It was initiated by the IRIAS organization and is being pushed by certain BRICS members. ➡️ It is being closely watched by other nations, including several in Africa. 📈 Why This Matters for Gold: The "Unit" formally anchors a trade instrument to physical gold. If adoption grows, it institutionalizes gold demand on a multinational scale, reinforcing its role as a monetary asset. The Bottom Line: The BRICS "Unit" is a working prototype for a gold-referenced trade currency. While not yet official policy, its existence is a direct step toward de-dollarization and a significant bullish signal for long-term gold demand. #Gold #BRICS #DeDollarization #Unit #Currency #MonetarySystem #Macro #Finance #Investing

GOLD TELEGRAPH CONVERSATION #8 JOHN MCCLUSKEY "There's no question that gold is under accumulation now and the market is shifting from West to East." For our 8th conversation, I’m joined by John McCluskey, CEO of Alamos Gold (Alamos Gold Inc.), as we cover a wide range of topics including the early days of building Alamos and the lessons he’s learned along the way. Alamos is now valued at ~$15 billion CAD, but it started with humble beginnings. John shared a story of when the company was worth just $30 million and how it was an uphill battle to convince investors of the value that Mulatos represented. We also dive into: • Leadership insights from decades in the mining industry • His views on the gold market and the shift of gold from West to East • The critical importance of exploration for the future of mining A big thank you to John for sharing his time and perspective. I hope you all enjoy the conversation. TIMESTAMPS: (0:45) – The early days: Learning from Chester Miller and the founding vision for Alamos Gold (3:44) – How a life-threatening accident in 1999 reshaped John’s philosophy (9:25) – Building Alamos from a $30M market cap to a $15B gold company (9:25) – Convincing the market on Mulatos: Early challenges and the critical role of vision (17:10) – Did you envision Alamos evolving into a multi-mine, international producer when you co-founded it? (23:26) – How Alamos connected the Magino acquisition with Island Gold through shared infrastructure, workforce, and regional strategy (23:40) – How Alamos connected the Magino acquisition with Island Gold through shared infrastructure, workforce, and regional strategy (33:33) – Gold’s role in a multipolar monetary system (38:00) – In a world driven by instant gratification, how can gold companies capture investor attention and show the long-term value of gold? (43:27) – With global exploration spending at historic lows, what risks does that pose for the future of the mining sector?

GOLD IS SILENTLY REPLACING US TREASURIES AS GLOBAL COLLATERAL Something bigger than anything seen in over 50 years is unfolding in the global financial system right now. Almost nobody is talking about it. Gold is no longer just being bought by central banks. It is actively returning as the preferred collateral across private citizens, companies, and governments, beginning to displace US Treasuries from the core of the system. THE CORE THESIS: GOLD RECLAIMS ITS ROLE AS TRUST ➡️ Collateral exists to replace trust. In the repo markets that keep the entire financial machine running, government bonds still make up the vast majority of that collateral. ➡️ US Treasuries alone account for roughly two-thirds of global bond collateral. ➡️ When trust in those bonds erodes, the demand for them as collateral shrinks. That is exactly what is starting to happen. PRIVATE CITIZENS ARE ALREADY MOVING ➡️ In India, gold-backed loans grew seven times faster than ordinary consumer credit over the past year. ➡️ Vietnam’s central bank is preparing gold certificates so citizens can turn privately held gold into usable financial instruments. ➡️ Tether’s gold tokens can now be used as collateral for loans on crypto platforms, and a physical-gold-backed credit card is launching specifically for emerging markets. THE EMERGING-MARKET BREAKTHROUGH ➡️ Juan Sartori of Tether Gold put it plainly: “Our top goal is to offer people in collapsing financial systems a financial alternative.” ➡️ For hundreds of millions who fear their local currency or even their dollar accounts can be forcibly converted overnight, a gold-backed card that lets them spend without losing purchasing power is a game-changer. ➡️ Similar tokenized gold products are already expanding across Asia. COMPANIES AND GOVERNMENTS JOIN THE SHIFT ➡️ Commercial Bank of Dubai just launched a gold medal loan product that lets businesses borrow and lend directly in physical ounces. ➡️ Hong Kong has centralized its gold clearing to pull price discovery and yuan-denominated trading closer to China. ➡️ Dubai introduced a physical gold contract settled in dirhams. Singapore is building gold storage for foreign central banks so the metal can serve as trusted collateral. THE BOTTOM LINE Gold is being remonetized from the bottom up and the top down at the same time. The process is quiet, technical, and still invisible to most investors. Those who understand that collateral is the real battleground already see where the next decade of demand is coming from. This is how money quietly changes. #GoldCollateral #Remonetization #GoldLoans #DigitalGold #USTreasuries #GoldDemand #SilentShift

The Coming Gold Repricing & The New Financial System In this Short video, Andy Schectman of Miles Franklin Precious Metals and Adam Taggart break down the case for a future gold $GLD repricing, the shift away from U.S. Treasuries, and the quiet transformation taking place in the global monetary system. For decades, the global financial system has revolved around the U.S. dollar, U.S. Treasuries, and Western-controlled payment networks. But a quiet shift is taking place beneath the surface. BRICS nations and other emerging economies are steadily building an alternative framework for trade and settlement. Instead of selling commodities for dollars, countries can increasingly transact in local currencies, settle imbalances with #gold, and move value through new financial infrastructure outside the traditional Western system. The most overlooked part of this trend may be the rapid expansion of gold vaults and settlement hubs across Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore, Dubai, Mumbai, and other regions. Combined with payment systems such as CIPS, these networks could eventually allow countries to trade with one another without relying on the dollar as an intermediary. Andy Schectman also argues that gold and #silver $SLV have never been allowed to fully reflect their true market value. While the West continues to set global precious metals prices through paper markets, physical demand has been rising as central banks and sovereign buyers accumulate metal and increasingly stand for delivery. At the same time, the traditional safe-haven asset – U.S. Treasuries – has suffered one of the worst drawdowns in modern history. The argument is that many countries are quietly reducing Treasury exposure and reallocating reserves toward gold. If these trends continue, the world could be moving toward a more multipolar financial system where physical gold plays a much larger role in trade, reserve management, and international settlement. The big question is whether gold's current price reflects that future—or whether a major repricing still lies ahead. ⬇️Get access to my notes with the key takeaways from this interview with Andy Schectman by visiting my Substack (link below) ⬇️
