Gold Accumulation Is Not De-Dollarization In this Short video, Brent Johnson Santiago Capital and I break down the relationship between #gold, Treasury #bonds, and central bank reserves, explaining why gold accumulation is often a portfolio management decision rather than a de-dollarization signal. Many investors interpret rising central bank gold...

The Structural Case For Continued Dollar Strength $DXYZ In this Short video, Brent Johnson Santiago Capital and I break down the structural forces supporting continued #USdollar dominance, from global trade and debt markets to reserve holdings and crisis-driven demand. Despite years of predictions about the dollar’s demise, the global financial system remains deeply dependent on it. The key reason is that the #dollar is far more than a currency—it is the backbone of global trade, credit, funding markets, and financial infrastructure. The dollar market outside the United States is actually much larger than the one inside it. Trillions of dollars of debt are owed by foreign governments, corporations, and banks. Much of that borrowing occurs between non-U.S. entities, yet it is still denominated in dollars. That means the rest of the world owes enormous amounts in a currency it cannot create or control. Roughly 58% of allocated global foreign exchange reserves are held in dollars, compared with about 20% in euros. Around half of global trade is invoiced in dollars, including transactions where the United States is not involved. The eurodollar system, the Treasury market, the SWIFT network, and the global banking infrastructure all reinforce the dollar’s dominant position. Many investors point to central banks increasing their #gold $GLD holdings as evidence that the dollar is losing relevance. Gold has indeed become a larger share of reserves, but part of that shift reflects higher gold prices and lower Treasury prices as #interestrates have risen. Foreign ownership of U.S. #Treasuries remains near all-time highs, suggesting the world has not abandoned dollar assets. The most overlooked point is what happens during a crisis. Countries may hold gold as a neutral reserve asset, but when they need liquidity, they often sell gold to obtain dollars. During periods of stress (like the Iran war), demand for dollars frequently rises because global trade, debt servicing, and commodity purchases still rely on them. So, de-dollarization may be happening at the margins, but replacing the dollar is far more difficult than many assume. The structural foundations supporting dollar demand remain firmly in place, and in moments of uncertainty, the world still turns to dollars first. Check out our comprehensive "15 Trading Rules" guide ▶️ This guide includes practical rules for managing positions, taking profits, controlling risk, and avoiding the emotional mistakes that often hurt returns during major market corrections.

Keep your hands off our gold “In the rush to hoard stuff for a rainy day, there’s been scant discussion about the future of our existing mineral stockpile; the 80 tonnes of gold the Reserve Bank of Australia has sitting in vaults. The rapid surge in gold prices means the value of the RBA’s gold has doubled in Australian dollar terms over the past two years and more than tripled over the past seven years. Which makes it a great time to sell those 80 tonnes of gold for just over $18 billion of cash. The analogy extends to physical capital; what’s the point of having a gold stockpile if you never sell it?” ••••••••••••••• The AFR (no doubt acting as a proxy for Treasury) is arguing that Australia should sell its gold. This is a very dangerous thing to do. Some time in the future the U.S. dollar will stop being the world’s reserve currency and there will be reset of the monetary system. It’s highly likely that when this happens the new currency will be backed by gold. Those countries with the largest gold reserves will in the strongest financial position after reset. Gold is an appreciating asset, unlike bonds which depreciate due to inflation. That’s why central banks manipulate the gold price by artificially shorting it via paper contracts on the Comex to prevent individuals from accumulating it. Let’s not forget the U.S. outlawed the possession of gold in 1932 to prop up the paper markets. Articles like this remind us that the world’s financial system is on very shaky ground. Western government debt levels are unsustainable and the bond markets are on very shaky ground. Gold has always been insurance against reckless government spending/borrowing. Rather than sell our gold, the Australian government should be accumulating it. Any attempt by central banks to take our gold needs to be stopped stone cold dead. That includes bringing our gold back home, away from the clutches of the Bank of England.

🌎 INTERVIEW: “GOLD COULD SOON OVERTAKE THE DOLLAR AS THE WORLD’S TOP RESERVE ASSET” Luke Gromen, Macroeconomic Strategist “When people talk about foreign exchange reserves, they usually only count fiat currencies. But if you include gold, the picture looks very different. Right now, the dollar’s share of total reserves plus gold is down to 46%. Gold is up to 30%, and central banks are still buying thousands of tons every year. If that trend continues and gold rises another 30 to 50%, it could surpass the dollar in global reserve value. That would create a major moment of cognitive dissonance for those who believe the dollar’s dominance can’t change.”

🚨Afshin Rattansi: BRICS Is BETTING on Gold And the Western Financial System Has No Answer to That. 'Jim Rickards was talking about the fact that everything comes down to gold, which, of course, is great for India. As he said, no central bank has the gold reserves that Indian families hold privately in their homes. Surely, they will still be buying gold rather than any particular BRICS currency. But then again, the BRICS currency could somehow be tied to gold in a way that NATO nation currencies are not.'

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) ⬇️

Trump warns that BRICS is set on challenging dollar dominance, and their latest moves back that up. They’re rolling out a cross-border payment system to reduce reliance on the dollar, expanding the Shanghai Gold Exchange into Hong Kong for more yuan-denominated trade, and setting up a gold vault in Saudi Arabia to facilitate gold-backed transactions. As central banks ramp up their gold reserves, BRICS is clearly paving the way for a new financial order. We’ll dive deep into all of this in the first episode of ‘The Real Story!’ Miles Franklin Precious Metals

Chamath Explains Gold's All-Time High “I think it's a mixture of things. There's no panacea explanation.” 1) Net new buyers like Tether Gold 2) Macro funds buying gold instead of bonds or currencies (b/c they don't trust central bank policy) 3) Central bank rebalancing “Why is gold up?” “Gold is up because there are many more net new buyers.” “Who is the most important net new buyer? It's Tether.” “Tether has been issuing a stablecoin called Tether Gold, where they'll actually custody the gold on your behalf, and volumes of it are rising.” “At the same time, central banks are rebalancing.” “And then yet at the same time, you have a lot of macro funds that have essentially decided that central banks aren't to be trusted and they don't know what to do, and so they're not necessarily long bonds, they're not necessarily long currencies, and so they're long gold.” “So, I think it's a mixture of things. There's no panacea explanation.” “But if you had to put it into a couple buckets, it's net new speculation, net new stablecoin-related issuance, and a loss of confidence in central bank policy around the world.”

CENTRAL BANKS BUYING 15X MORE GOLD THAN THEY REPORT: THE HIDDEN SUPPLY SHOCK EXPOSED Gold expert Dimitri Speck just laid bare the single most important fact about real gold demand. While official numbers paint a quiet picture, the actual buying by central banks and state funds is running at fifteen times the reported pace. This gap is not a rounding error. It is a deliberate, large-scale accumulation that is draining physical supply far faster than any headline admits. THE OFFICIAL NUMBERS VS REALITY ➡️ The World Gold Council reported just 16 tons of central bank gold purchases for the first quarter. ➡️ Independent estimates based on London flows and reserve movements put true net buying at 244 tons. ➡️ That single quarter alone shows central banks and government funds purchasing fifteen times more gold than they publicly disclose. THE HIDDEN BUYING SYSTEM ➡️ Central banks routinely buy more gold than they ever report in their official reserve statistics. ➡️ These are quiet, often routed purchases that never appear in timely public data. ➡️ Reserves are frequently held through clearing systems or delayed in publication so the true scale stays invisible to markets and the public. WHY THE SECRECY RUNS SO DEEP ➡️ Nations are diversifying reserves without triggering political backlash or sanctions pressure. ➡️ Publishing the real numbers would instantly reveal how little confidence some governments hold in the current monetary order. ➡️ The consistent pattern proves official statistics systematically understate physical gold demand by a massive margin. THE BOTTOM LINE Official gold data is a carefully constructed illusion designed to hide the real pace of accumulation. Central banks are pulling physical metal out of the market at fifteen times the speed they admit, tightening supply while telling the world everything is normal. The charts the public sees are missing the most important buyer in the entire market.

Silver's squeeze is being driven by gold which in turn is being driven by the dollar. No, not "debasement" or "inflation." Eurodollar deflation. People make the critical mistake believing gold is a substitute for the dollar when it's not even in the same arena. Precious metals instead compete with stocks and other risky financial assets as the safe haven alternative to them. Ledger money separated medium of exchange from store of value 150 years ago (not that you've heard anything about it, but you live it every day each time you use your credit card - medium - and check your 401k - store). Gold is not a medium, but it is superior form of value. Gold's behavior therefore has nothing to do with "the dollar" except when eurodollar conditions drive the exchange value and signal conditions relative to stores of value alternatives. This is why gold has behaved like it has and why all the gold "experts" get it wrong. When the dollar is rising, that's a deflation signal which means increasing chance conditions will be bad for risky stores of value. Gold shines. And that is exactly how it has traded recently, too, from late last year through April, the middle of the year when gold backed off because risk-taking was back at the forefront, and now with flat Beveridge everywhere and credit cockroaches showing up every other minute gold is utterly flying. That deflation would be really bad for risky assets that gold competes with. IT IS NOT DEBASEMENT OR ANYTHING LIKE IT. All the evidence is here: Everything you get from the mainstream is either wrong or backward. Oftentimes on purpose. Misdirection and misinformation is actually the trade of "central banks." Start unlearning the garbage and start learning the truth which has been hiding in plain sight all this time.

🚨 Massive Prep for Asset-Backed Currency Is Underway. The City of London Knows Something We Don’t. The City Of London isn’t just a financial district. It’s a separate jurisdiction, with its own police and financial authority, controlled by an elite global network that no government fully oversees… Every central bank, every currency and oil flow answers to them. The famous City Of London banker Lord Belgrave already warned about it months ago. Gold-Backed Money Is Replacing the Dollar Faster Than Anyone Expected! Banks and institutions are buying COMEX Gold options at $15,000 - $20,000 for December 2026. Bank of Korea just restarted GOLD purchases for the FIRST TIME since 2013, the latest nation quietly abandoning the dying greenback! Japan and South Korea, even after immense pressure from the US, started dumping dollar instead of US treasuries to save themselves. BoJ has also ramped up their gold reserves. The London Bullion Market Association was on the brink of collapse earlier due to the shortage of physical gold as compared to leveraged paper market trading. China’s central bank has stacked GOLD for 20 CONSECUTIVE MONTHS straight!! They even banned retail leveraged trading for gold countrywide. Russian and Chinese investors are flooding into U.S. tokenized markets on blockchain. China is also building a BRICS Payment system backed by Gold. The XRP Ledger RWA platform Trensik reported $1,000,000 in tokenized gold volume in a single day after China’s move. Paxos Gold on Ethereum also reported increased activity on tokenized gold. The global shift to ASSET-BACKED currencies is accelerating.

David Rosenberg sees the gold pullback as another correction inside a long-term bull market, not the end of the move. His thesis remains centred on central banks structurally rebalancing reserves away from the US dollar and into gold, with that process likely only halfway through. In his view, China buying physical metal while Western leveraged money sells shows gold moving from weak hands to stronger hands, and investors should focus on the central bank bid rather than short-term price noise.

🇨🇳 INTERVIEW: “CHINA IS USING GOLD TO CREATE A TRADE LOOP THAT STRENGTHENS ITS ECONOMY” Luke Gromen, Macroeconomic Strategist “China has built a system that rewards its trading partners for holding gold instead of dollars. As gold rises in yuan terms, it preserves and even grows purchasing power for their creditors, which encourages more trade in yuan. At the same time, China restricts physical gold from leaving the mainland. Gold can flow through Hong Kong or Shanghai’s free trade zone, but once it enters China, it stays there. That setup pushes global gold demand higher without depleting their reserves, while also improving domestic balance sheets for Chinese citizens and banks holding gold. It’s a strategic financial loop that boosts trade, strengthens collateral, and reduces dependence on the U.S. dollar.”

Ray Dalio: I Keep About 1% of My Portfolio in Bitcoin, but I Prefer Gold Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio Ray Dalio said on The Diary Of A CEO that roughly 1% of his portfolio is in Bitcoin. He counts it as "money that can't be printed" and suggests most people hold 5–15% of their portfolio in hard money, but within that bucket he prefers gold. Dalio argued Bitcoin is exposed to quantum computing, government surveillance and taxation, and said central banks will never hold it in size because they need privacy and control — pointing to Russia, whose reserves were frozen while its gold could not be touched.

Former BlackRock fund manager Ed Dowd on the death of the dollar 💵☠️ "we're in a stealth bull market in the dollar...

In a crisis, people do not sell dollars to get gold. They sell gold to get dollars. The Middle East conflict made this plain. When commodity prices spiked and liquidity tightened, countries across the Gulf, Turkey, Russia, and beyond did not reach for gold. They sold it because dollars are still the only thing that settles the world's obligations. That is not a bearish case for gold. Gold accumulated over the years is still a powerful asset. But the sequence matters. Gold is accumulated in calm. Dollars are demanded in a crisis. Until the underlying system changes, that is the order of operations every gold holder needs to understand.

Gold since April 2025: +60% Bitcoin since April 2025: -30% Gold since its January high: still near all-time highs. Bitcoin since its October high: -48%. 5 consecutive red months for Bitcoin. A 0.55 correlation with the S&P 500 as of March 1st. And people still call it "digital gold." Let me explain why that framing will cost you money: When the Middle East escalated, gold surged above $5,300. Bitcoin dropped. When equities sold off, gold held. Bitcoin sold with them. When uncertainty spiked, gold hit all-time highs. Bitcoin bled. This isn't an accident. It's the nature of WHAT these assets actually are. Gold is an asset that isn't somebody else's liability. It's not correlated with the general level of risk assets. It doesn't shift identities depending on what the market needs it to be that week. Bitcoin does. Sometimes it's digital gold. Sometimes it's correlated to NASDAQ. Sometimes it follows the dollar. Sometimes it follows liquidity. It depends on whatever narrative is convenient at the time. And narrative always follows price. That's the way it works. When Bitcoin was ripping to $126,000 in October, everyone called it a store of value. Now that it's trading at $66,000 with 5 red months, NOBODY talks about the digital gold thesis anymore. Gold doesn't have that problem. Central banks bought 863 tonnes of gold in 2025. Accumulating at the fastest pace in decades. China is buying like crazy for months. Nobody's buying Bitcoin for their sovereign reserves. Nobody's rewriting the gold thesis every quarter. I said this on back in April last year when Bitcoin was reclaiming $90,000 and everyone wanted me to be bullish on crypto: "If NASDAQ takes a header, if risk assets take another leg down, you want to bet Bitcoin goes up or down? I'd vote down." NASDAQ took a header. Risk assets took a leg down. Bitcoin went down. Gold went up. It's not complicated. Gold is insurance against irresponsible policies from central bankers and government officials. It protects you against the falling dollar. It's been doing this for 5,000 years. Bitcoin is a speculative instrument that acts like protection only when everything else is going up too. And in the environment we're heading into (geopolitical risk at generational highs, the dollar under pressure, central banks still buying, the Fed boxed in on rates) you want the real thing. Not the imitation. GOLD SURVIVED EMPIRES BITCOIN SURVIVED TWITTER

🚨 BREAKING: ECONOMIC SHOCK WARNING Economist Peter Schiff just delivered a stark warning that’s exploding on X — and his words couldn’t be clearer: “The dollar is going to collapse. The dollar is going to be replaced by gold.” Schiff says central banks are buying gold, dumping dollars, and reducing U.S. Treasuries — a signal, he argues, that confidence in the dollar is breaking. His blunt assessment: “We are headed for an economic crisis that will make the 2008 financial crisis look like a Sunday school picnic.” And the most chilling line: “This one is all in America.” Not a global crisis exported abroad — an American financial crisis at home. Whether you agree or not, these are his words, and the warning is unmistakable.

While Bitcoin gets a lot of attention, it hasn’t played the safe-haven role many expected. In my view, there are a few reasons why. First, Bitcoin lacks privacy. Transactions can be monitored and potentially controlled, which is why central banks aren’t looking to hold it. Second, it also has a high correlation with tech stocks. When investors get squeezed in other areas of their portfolio, they sell their Bitcoin to cover it. Third, it’s a relatively small and controllable market, whereas gold stands alone. There is only one gold. Ultimately, gold is more widely held, deeply established, and still plays a central role in the global system.

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

Peter Schiff: De-dollarisation means the REMONETISATION of gold, the dollar can ABSOLUTELY be replaced by it 'It was the dollar that replaced gold. Before we had the dollar as the reserve, everybody, including the United States, held gold. I don't think anybody controls gold. Where you have control is over fiat currencies. The US government, the Federal Reserve, can create as many dollars as it wants out of thin air. Gold can't be created out of thin air. There is a limit to how much gold exists and can be mined. And so gold is the most honest form of money that we have. And it takes the power away from any one government. Private investors are going to be moving out of fiat currency-denominated instruments as a means of savings, including sovereign debt. And they're going to be increasingly looking to gold as a better storehouse of value than sovereign debt.' -Peter Schiff, Host of 'The Peter Schiff Show' on the latest episode of New Order.
