Analyst Suggests Gold Standard Pivot to Counter De-Dollarization Trend
De-dollarization is accelerating as emerging economies shift away from USD-dominated trade and reserves. Cross-border settlements in local currencies and Gold accumulation are undermining traditional dollar hegemony. The trend poses structural risks to US economic leverage.
Komodo CTO Kadan Stadelmann proposes a strategic return to gold-backed monetary policy as a defensive measure. "The US must navigate this transition carefully," he noted, emphasizing metallic reserves as a stabilizing mechanism. The comments come amid broader discussions about Trump-era tariff policies and their role in accelerating currency diversification.
