Core Insights - The global monetary landscape is undergoing a significant transformation, with a shift from a dominant currency structure to a more diversified system, influenced by different camps focusing on varying foundations of monetary trust [1][4][19] Group 1: Dual Monetary Systems - The current financial environment is characterized by a bifurcation in the monetary system, with one side led by China and BRICS nations advocating for a "Gold Standard 2.0," relying on tangible gold, while the other side, led by the U.S. and Western allies, promotes a technology-driven approach with digital dollars and stablecoins [4][8] - This division is not sudden; it has been developing as the U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve have been quietly repatriating gold from London since November 2024, with New York Commodity Exchange gold inventories increasing from 17.2 million ounces to 34.6 million ounces in just three months [6][8] Group 2: Erosion of Dollar Trust - The dollar's dominance has been challenged, particularly after the U.S. froze approximately $300 billion of Russian foreign reserves in 2022, signaling that the dollar is a political tool rather than a secure asset [8][9][11] - Since 2023, global central banks have shifted towards gold, with countries like China, India, and Turkey significantly increasing their gold purchases, while major holders of U.S. Treasury bonds have begun to reduce their holdings [11][13] Group 3: China's Gold Corridor Strategy - China has established a "Gold Corridor" system, centered around the Shanghai gold market, allowing countries holding renminbi to convert it into gold, enhancing the renminbi's status as a hard currency [13][15] - A new settlement channel has been created to bypass SWIFT and the IMF, enabling BRICS nations to use gold as collateral for loans, which could fundamentally change global financing dynamics [15][17] Group 4: Future of Gold and Currency - The inclusion of gold as a primary asset in Basel III by July 2025 could restore gold's monetary identity, leading to a significant transformation in global financial logic [15][21] - Central banks are currently allocating 20% of their reserves to gold, with suggestions to increase this to 30%, indicating a potential $2 trillion increase in demand for gold, which is expected to undergo a "systemic revaluation" in the next five years [17][21] Group 5: Long-term Trends - The competition between trust mechanisms—China's tangible gold trust versus the U.S.'s rule-based trust—will reshape the global financial landscape, with the dollar's trust foundation eroding and gold regaining prominence [19][21] - As the monetary system diversifies, individuals will need to adapt their asset allocation strategies, with gold ETFs and renminbi-denominated assets emerging as viable options [21]

今天分享的是：2025银行稳定币专题：从金融角度看稳定币基础定义 报告共计：21页 稳定币：区块链时代的"数字银票"，究竟是什么？ 近年来，随着区块链技术的发展，"稳定币"逐渐进入公众视野。这个频繁出现在金融新闻中的词汇，究竟是什么？它和我们常 用的数字人民币、支付宝有何不同？又为何能在跨境支付中引发关注？让我们从金融本质出发，揭开稳定币的神秘面纱。 稳定币不是货币，更像"链上数字凭证" 从本质来看，稳定币并非独立货币，而是锚定法币（如美元）或高等级资产（如黄金、国债）的链上代币化数字凭证。它的核 心功能是在区块链网络中执行支付和交易职能，依托区块链技术实现高效流通，这一点与中国古代的银票颇为相似。 古代银票由民间票号发行，锚定金银等贵金属，持有银票可到票号兑换等额金银，本质是实物货币的"替代品"；如今的稳定币 则由私人机构（如发行USDT的Tether公司、发行USDC的Circle公司）发行，锚定美元等法币，1枚USDT可兑换1美元，功能上 也是法币在区块链上的"数字替身"。 两者的风险特征也高度相似：古代银票面临票号储备不足、伪造等风险；稳定币则可能因发行方储备造假（如曾被质疑的USDT 储备问题）、智 ...
