“There’s a mad rush for physical gold… even the U.S. is bringing it back in. It tells you that they’re preparing for something,” warns billionaire philanthropist Frank Giustra in a must-watch video. He sits down with Daniela Cambone to discuss how the global financial order is shifting, with gold returning to a central monetary role. As the U.S. prepares to adopt gold as a Tier 1 asset under Basel III regulations on July 1 of this year, Giustra says he sees a monetary reset coming and that “gold in one form or another is going to play a role in a new global monetary system.” For banks in particular, this change means they can increase the allocation of gold holdings on their balance sheets, using it as collateral or capital counted at 100% of its value—just like cash or U.S. Treasuries. And this, according to Giustra, will trigger “incredible ramifications” to the existing financial system. On the recent power outage scenario in Spain and Portugal, where cash withdrawals were limited, Giustra calls it ‘a war on cash’ and warns it could ripple globally as central bank digital currencies take hold.
