| A private crypto company has become one of the largest gold buyers on earth, bigger than many central banks. Not a government. Not a sovereign wealth fund. A stablecoin issuer: Tether. In this video, we break down how a privately issued digital IOU has accumulated more than 116 tonnes of physical gold, influencing nearly 2% of global demand and up to 14% of central bank buying in a single quarter. This raises two critical questions: What does it mean when the world’s oldest safe haven becomes intertwined with the newest source of synthetic liquidity? Does Tether introduce fragility into a market prized for its independence? Jan Skoyles explores: – How Tether became a major marginal gold buyer – Why XAU-backed tokens carry risks that physical gold doesn’t – The creation of a two-tier stablecoin world – How central bank accumulation dwarfs private flows – Why sovereign gold demand is structural, long-term, and inelastic – The difference between owning gold and holding a claim to gold Gold isn’t rising because of crypto. Gold isn’t rising because of Tether. Gold is rising because central banks are preparing for a more fragmented, more adversarial monetary world and they want collateral that belongs to no one but themselves.

#Gold made new highs. Silver followed. The headline is simple, the drivers are not. In this short briefing, Jan Skoyles explains why the long end of bond markets weakened, how policy credibility entered the price, and what Beijing’s choreography signalled for risk premia. The focus is practical. How to think about duration risk today. Why a measured allocation to bullion can still improve portfolio resilience.
Key points
Real yields firmed while #inflation expectations were stable. This is a repricing of confidence, not a panic about prices.
Long bonds remain an anchor for diversified portfolios, yet the anchor has moved. Funding costs matter.
#Geopolitics widened the range of plausible outcomes and lifted hurdle rates.
A measured allocation to gold and silver can diversify exposure
