Global Shift Away from USD Accelerates as Currency Weaponization Backfires

The US dollar's dominance faces unprecedented challenges as nations quietly diversify reserves. Decades of dollar primacy unravel not through market forces but via geopolitical overreach - Washington's aggressive sanctions regime has triggered a silent exodus from greenback dependency.

Emerging economies from Russia to Iran bear scars of dollar weaponization, their financial systems crippled by transaction blacklists. Where the British pound once reigned without such coercion, the dollar now wields its reserve status as a cudgel - prompting central banks worldwide to rethink their exposure.

Though still accounting for 86% of global transactions, the dollar's supremacy shows cracks. A $36 trillion debt overhang compounds distrust, transforming the currency from SAFE haven to systemic risk. Boardrooms from Beijing to Brasília now actively hedge against dollar dependency through alternative reserves.
