Schectman weighs in on whether the unusual pricing, along with a surge in December $20,000 gold call options, could be signaling something much bigger ahead for gold, the U.S. Treasury market, and America’s 250th anniversary. He also discusses gold revaluation, the possibility of gold-linked Treasuries, why central banks are bringing gold home, and how the global gold infrastructure is shifting away from London & New York. Schectman also breaks down the risks of central bank digital currencies, stablecoins, the GENIUS Act, and why he believes gold is becoming increasingly vital as a neutral reserve asset in a changing monetary system.
