减持189亿美元的美债，中国这一步，动静不小。让出全球第二大美国国债持有国的位置，看上去像是退了一步，实际上是在另一个方向稳稳推进。英国短 暂登场，顶上第二的宝座，但真正吸引目光的，是中国在另一个市场的动作：六个月连着买黄金，这可不是巧合。 放眼全球金融市场，美元仍然是一股主导力量，但凡事有因。一边是美方拿着美元霸权大做文章，另一边却在钢铝关税上不松口，还要打压芯片和稀土的出 海。说得好听是谈判，实则招招掐得准，掐的是中国制造的命门。可问题是，这回中国没接招，直接把话放那儿：不玩了。你不是真想谈，那就先摆正态 度。 抛债这事儿不是新鲜事，但这次的背景有点不一样。中美关系紧张是一方面，更深层的考量，是对美国经济体制的信任在动摇。美债利率波动频繁，政治博 弈高烧不退，对中国这种大体量资金来说，稳定比什么都重要。卖掉189亿，释放的不只是资金，更是一种态度。 与此黄金储备成了主角。2024年下半年开始，中国央行已经连续六个月增持黄金，官方数据每月都能看到数字在往上跳。不是一次性操作，是持续的布局。 这种节奏感，说明的是决心。黄金不仅是避险工具，更是一种战略储备。放在这个节点来看，简直像是把话挑明了：咱要做自己的底牌 ...

什么是稳定币？它如何运作？ 稳定币是一种数字资产，可用于支付，由于与"稳定"资产1:1挂钩，波动性低于其他加密货币。德意志银行的报告指出，稳定币主要有四种类型：法定货币 支持的、资产支持的、加密货币支持的和算法型。 美元霸权摇摇欲坠，稳定币市场快速扩张，正成为美元新的支撑点，重塑全球金融体系？ 据追风交易台，德意志银行全球宏观和专题研究主管Jim Reid在最新报告中提到，稳定币正以前所未有的速度快速扩张，企业财务高管们已感受到变革浪 潮。Reid表示： 我这周在美国西海岸参加一个企业财务会议，所有财务主管都注意到他们业务中稳定币交易的增加，这是一个不断增长的市场。 所谓的"稳定币"是一种数字资产，其中超过99%的稳定币市值都与美元挂钩，其实际上充当了支持美国短期债务市场的货币市场基金的角色，例如Tether已 跻身美债主要持有者行列。 目前，美国正加速推进稳定币监管立法，其中支付是一个大用例，监管可能为更广泛的采用打开支付大门。最近GENIUS的稳定币法案被否决，但德银预计 该法案今年将取得重大进展。 分析认为，稳定币市场潜力巨大，支付应用可能使加密基础设施获得更广泛接受。花旗预计，从长期来看稳定币的潜在市 ...
