Andy Schectman emphasized that the “smart money” is making an unprecedented move by standing for physical delivery of gold and silver on the COMEX, breaking historical records in the May contract. He interprets this surge in physical off-take as a powerful signal of eroding trust in paper financial systems and a systemic shift away from counterparty risk. According to Schectman, this stealth accumulation by major players reflects deep concern about the credibility of U.S. Treasuries and global fiat structures. The body language of central banks and institutional investors—choosing physical metal over ETFs—points to a broader de-dollarization trend and preparations for a new monetary framework. Ultimately, he sees this as a deliberate and strategic movement by the world’s biggest money to hedge against systemic instability and monetary transformation.
