Summary
Gold is now the top reserve asset for central banks, surpassing U.S. Treasuries with 27% of global reserves in 2025—up from 20% the prior year. This shift, accelerated by the 2022 Ukraine invasion and Western sanctions on Russia, reflects a growing distrust in dollar-based assets that can be frozen during geopolitical crises. Physical gold, immune to such risks, has surged 139% since 2022, with global holdings reaching 36,000 tons worth $5.2 trillion. Central banks aren’t ditching the dollar—but are using gold as essential insurance against instability and systemic risk. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
