What has never happened in the past thirty years is now in front of us—global central banks' gold holdings have surpassed dollar assets for the first time. This is not a short-term fluctuation but a clear "change of course" signal.
**Looking at the Data for Direction**
From Asia to Europe, and then to the Americas, central banks are increasing their gold reserves at the fastest pace in decades, while significantly reducing their U.S. Treasury holdings. The underlying logic is straightforward: combating inflation and avoiding sovereign risk. U.S. Treasuries are increasing by $1 trillion every hundred days, and central banks are voting with gold—no counterparty risk, and no fear of currency dilution.
**Technical Signal**
On a longer cycle, gold's price has broken through multi-year resistance lines. The price has stabilized above $2000 and formed a solid support level. The shift in central bank behavior is not just about risk aversion; it is supported by both fundamental and liquidity factors. Coupled with the accelerating de-dollarization process (BRICS expansion, promotion of local currency settlement, energy pegged to gold, and other initiatives), the monetary attributes of gold are undergoing a systemic re-evaluation.
**Deeper Game**
This is not just asset reallocation but a bet on the future monetary landscape. Over 40% of the world's population is in countries pushing for de-dollarization, moving from verbal commitments to actual actions. Gold has become the most resilient consensus carrier in this transformation.
As institutional buying gradually becomes the new normal, the predicted gold price of $4600 by some analysts no longer seems so aggressive. The dollar is weakening, and gold is shining.
What does this mean for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies? The shift in central bank allocations, the reallocation of global liquidity, and rising risk aversion—all are worth serious consideration by players.

Central banks are quietly stockpiling gold, and the dollar is fading. The signal is very clear. Bitcoin should be getting restless now, right?

Central banks are hoarding gold, the dollar is dying, maybe Bitcoin has a chance now...

The dollar weakness has truly arrived. Gold has stabilized above 2000, but will it go to 4600 or 10000 next?
---
The prelude to de-dollarization, with gold and Bitcoin taking turns, this time really feels different
---
Wait, if central banks are voting for gold, what about retail investors? We still have to look at the Fed’s stance, right?
---
Liquidity reallocation? Those institutions still holding onto US Treasuries are really living in confusion, haha
---
With 40% of the global population de-dollarizing, why haven’t the Silicon Valley folks started to hype it up yet?

Central banks are all copying gold's homework. Is the US dollar really in trouble now? Is Bitcoin not far behind?

The central banks are all copying gold's playbook, the dollar is slowly dying, and Bitcoin is sneaking a laugh. This is the big show we’ve been waiting for.

The central banks are all buying gold, while the dollar is still being printed. This game is really interesting.
A historic inflection point is taking shape.
