Recently, discussions about the independence of Federal Reserve policies have intensified, with many analysts pointing out that this reflects deep changes in the global monetary system.
Data shows that the US dollar's share in global foreign exchange reserves has fallen to 56.32%, remaining below 60% for 11 consecutive quarters, hitting a new low since 1995. Meanwhile, the global gold purchase boom continues, with gold reserves surpassing US debt for the first time in 50 years. Behind these figures, it actually reflects countries' reassessment of the traditional "petrodollar" system.
As monetary policy becomes increasingly influenced by political factors, market confidence in centralized monetary systems naturally declines. This provides a stage for decentralized assets—Bitcoin, with its limited supply and independence from single policies, is gradually gaining attention from institutions and nations. Earlier, US President Trump mentioned considering including Bitcoin in national asset allocations, and such policy signals have a noticeable impact on market sentiment.
From an institutional perspective, mainstream financial institutions like Standard Chartered Bank have begun openly discussing Bitcoin's role in asset allocation, even offering relatively optimistic price forecasts. As the global de-dollarization process accelerates, the scale of cross-border payments with stablecoins is also expanding, improving liquidity and use cases across the entire crypto asset ecosystem.
However, it is important to note that these changes are long-term structural adjustments, and short-term volatility will still exist. Investors should manage risk exposure while paying attention to macro trends.

Another round of "system decline" story... The US dollar's share has fallen to 56%, and central banks are all stockpiling gold. It indeed sounds like something is disintegrating. But the real issue is that this decentralized narrative repeats every cycle, and each time the believers die before dawn.
A single statement from Trump can heat up the crypto market sentiment, and Standard Chartered is also bullish... This is the moment I am most cautious about. The market is most prone to survivor bias. When everyone is telling the same story, it usually means the story is about to reverse.
Long-term structural adjustment? Sounds grand, but actually it just means—don't rush, it might still fall. The phrase "risk exposure" is a subtle way of saying: don't go all in.

The breakdown of policy independence is a fact, but can Bitcoin truly replace the US dollar system... I've seen enough such predictions fail. History repeats itself, that's just how it is.

I'm a bit curious, who will win this time—US debt or gold? Anyway, I don't fully trust either.

The US dollar falls below 60%... Traditional finance really can't sit still now, even gold has turned around haha
It's wiser to save bullets for BTC, everyone
56.32%? That's hilarious, it seems like it will continue to plunge next year
Institutions are starting to seriously discuss Bitcoin, what does that mean... it means what is meant to come will come
De-dollarization is not a joke, in the long run, this wave indeed has opportunities

Does the US dollar share exceed 56%? It was about time; the fiat system is on the brink of collapse.
BTC is the real answer, unaffected by any political games.
Central banks are stockpiling gold, so what are retail investors still hesitating about?
Trump's words are a political signal, but yes, this is the window to seize.
Standard Chartered is starting to seriously discuss BTC, what does that indicate? Traditional finance is beginning to admit defeat.
De-dollarization is inevitable sooner or later; blockchain is here to take over.
That said, short-term volatility will still cause some turbulence, so don't go all in.

The US dollar has fallen below 56%, and countries are all buying up gold... Is this the rhythm of a complete de-dollarization?

The status of the US dollar is really being eroded, and the 56% figure says it all.
Gold surpassing US bonds for the first time in 50 years—that's exactly what "the trend of the times" means.
Bitcoin's recent surge definitely has something special; after all, such obvious political interference makes it hard to trust centralized systems.
By the way, Trump's remarks really gave the crypto community a strong boost, and institutional follow-up has been incredibly fast.
The growth of stablecoin cross-border payments is truly a game-changer.
I agree with the long-term structural adjustment, but in the short term... we still have to live and wait for that day.

The event of the US dollar falling below 60%... should have happened long ago. Central banks are all hoarding gold, what does that indicate?
Traditional finance can't handle it anymore, this is the real moment for Bitcoin.

actually, let me pull up my spreadsheet here—those dollar reserve figures are taxonomically interesting but the narrative's conveniently skipping systemic risk assessment, tbh

The US dollar's status is no longer guaranteed, and institutions are starting to hoard Bitcoin... This is the real indicator of the trend.
