#BreakingNews 🚨 Russia’s Quiet Gold Drain Is Becoming Impossible to Ignore 🇷🇺 $ACU {future}(ACUUSDT) $ENSO {spot}(ENSOUSDT) $KAIA {spot}(KAIAUSDT)
Away from the headlines, Russia has been steadily tapping its last financial buffer. Over the past three years, nearly 71% of the gold once held in the National Wealth Fund has been sold. 📉 In mid-2022, the fund held 554.9 tons of gold. By January 2026, that figure has fallen to 160.2 tons, with much of the remainder shifted into Central Bank accounts. What’s left on the liquid side of the fund — gold and yuan combined — now totals about 4.1 trillion rubles. Analysts caution that without a rebound in oil prices or the ruble, up to 60% of this balance could be consumed within a year. This matters beyond balance sheets. A thinner safety cushion means tighter budgets, reduced flexibility, and fewer options when economic or military pressure rises. The drawdown doesn’t signal collapse — but it does signal diminishing room to maneuver. The question facing Moscow isn’t immediate survival. It’s how long spending can continue at current levels before the margins disappear. #GrayscaleBNBETFFiling #ETHMarketWatch #WEFDavos2026 #TrumpCancelsEUTariffThreat
