#GOLD now accounts for 20% of global foreign reserves at market value. The euro sits at 16%.
Central banks are holding around 36,000 tonnes, approaching the 38,000-tonne peak of the Bretton Woods era, when the entire global monetary system was anchored to gold.
This is reserve management. Balance sheet insurance in a monetary system that is increasingly fragmented.
The question used to be whether gold belonged in reserves, same as wih assets like $LTC
The question now is whether private markets get access to the same quality of gold infrastructure that sovereign balance sheets already use.
That is the gap Streamex is closing.
