A piece of historical data prompts deep reflection: between 2013 and 2016, the Venezuelan government secretly shipped over 113 tons of gold to Switzerland for processing. How large was this reserve? Converted, it was worth approximately 4.1-4.7 billion Swiss Francs, about 5.2 billion USD.

🔍 Why did they do this?
At that time, Venezuela was facing a severe economic crisis, with the government’s cash flow exhausted. The national gold reserves became the "last line of defense"—the government had to liquidate them to maintain basic operations. Essentially, this operation was a consumption of strategic resources.

📊 Where was the turning point?
After the EU and Switzerland imposed sanctions in 2017, this financing channel was completely cut off. This case shows us how dangerous it is to rely on a single asset reserve without economic diversification.

💡 Why is it still worth discussing?
This is not just a national case—it reflects deeper issues of how assets flow during economic crises, how power operates, and how the interests of ordinary people are sacrificed. From a macro asset allocation perspective, the strategic importance of reserves like gold and cryptocurrencies, as well as the necessity of multi-chain and multi-asset allocation, deserve re-examination.
