Global Capital Ditches the Dollar: 2025 Marks First Year US Loses Financial Dominance
The tectonic plates of finance are shifting—and Wall Street’s golden goose is getting stiffed. For the first time in modern history, global capital flows are bypassing the US entirely. Here’s why the dollar’s monopoly is cracking.
The great escape: BRICS+ nations now settle 47% of trade in local currencies. SWIFT? More like ’slow’—cross-border CBDCs cut transaction times from days to seconds. Guess the ’risk-free’ dollar isn’t so risk-free anymore.
Wall Street’s reckoning: When even BlackRock starts parking cash in Mumbai skyscrapers instead of Manhattan REITs, you know the game’s changed. Bonus irony: all those ’de-risking’ seminars funded by 0.1% management fees? Yeah, about that...
The dollar’s not dead—but the era of automatic supremacy? That coffin’s nailed shut. Next stop: a multipolar financial world where the US is just another player at the table. Goldman analysts are already shorting their own PowerPoints.
De-Dollarization in 2025: Confidence in US Assets From Global Capital Declining
Unlike previous instances of turbulence in the US economy, this time around and for the first time, global funds are not fully flowing into American assets.said Yang Changjiang, a finance professor at Fudan University. De-dollarization in 2025 is taking shape in different forms and the US needs to address the issue and clip its wings before it starts to completely take off.
Finance professor Changjiang also stated that China must grab the opportunity to push the Chinese yuan ahead for trade.he said to SCMP News. The usage of Chinese yuan among enterprises has grown from 21.5% in the last quarter to 24% in Q1 of 2025. The development indicates that de-dollarization must be taken lightly in 2025 and Trump needs to address the global issue.
