De-Dollarization Trends Accelerate as Yuan Gains Ground Against USD

The US dollar has suffered a 9.03% decline year-to-date, while the Chinese yuan shows relative resilience with only a 1.68% drop. This widening gap fuels global de-dollarization debates as central banks seek alternatives to mitigate currency risks.

Yuan internationalization surged 11% in 2024, reaching 6.06 on the benchmark index. In contrast, the dollar's score dipped to 51.13 from 51.52, with the euro falling 3.8% to 24.07. BlackRock analysts note this shift reflects deliberate diversification strategies by institutional players.

Mounting US debt emerges as the primary threat to dollar hegemony. Larry Fink's shareholder letter underscores growing institutional skepticism: "The dollar's reserve currency status isn't immutable," the BlackRock CEO warned, echoing market concerns about fiscal sustainability.
