The Next Phase of Gold Accumulation? Gold Stablecoins
So it seems the latest “digital dollar” isn’t backed by dollars at all - but by gold. The Kyrgyzstan government is experimenting with gold-backed stablecoins. But the real reason is far more strategic… and far more revealing. For while, it’s currently small in scale, this is how a pilot project begins & it fits perfectly with the desire of the east to accumulate more physical gold reserves.
In this video, we’ll explore how fragile cross-border payments, the apparent limits of dollar dominance, and hidden risks in fiat-backed digital money are driving these experiments. And later, we’ll uncover the surprising way gold stablecoins could ripple through global markets - in ways most people don’t realize.
