The data is telling an interesting story right now:

• China's US Treasury holdings just hit an 18-year low
• Their gold reserves reached an all-time peak

It's a clear signal: major economies are rotating away from dollar-denominated assets and into hard money. Beijing is clearly recalibrating its reserve strategy for whatever comes next in the global financial landscape.

The question isn't what they're doing—it's whether you're paying attention to the same macro trends shaping asset allocation across institutions. When reserve managers pivot, crypto markets tend to follow.

National-level fund flows are already speaking, what are you still watching... Selling off US bonds + a surge in gold, this combination is very clear.

China is ditching US bonds and stockpiling gold... The signal is too obvious, and institutions are quietly doing the same thing.

China reduces holdings of US debt, gold hits record highs. This thing really needs careful attention... When the big funds are doing this, what are we still watching?

Oh my god, the arbitrage opportunity with this rotation is real... China reducing US debt and piling up gold, isn't that a signal for us? Institutional liquidity rebalancing is clearly visible. The real question is who can monitor this wave of macro capital flow on the chain in the mempool...

This move by China... frankly, it's preparing for a recession. I don't see this as a good sign. Here comes another rebound to harvest the chives. Don't be fooled by the macro narrative; there are always lower points waiting for you. How fast institutions act doesn't matter; what's important is that you survive until then. I'm still waiting.

China reduces holdings of US debt and hoards gold. This signal is obvious to everyone; it just depends on how quickly you react.

China is surpassing the US in debt holdings and stockpiling gold. The dollar is really about to face trouble now.

China's move is absolutely brilliant—selling off US bonds and hoarding gold. Isn't it obvious? They're preparing for a major upheaval.
