The King still reigns supreme👑💵

In 2025, the US Dollar holds a massive 58% of global allocated foreign exchange reserves worth over $11.5 trillion total.

Euro: 20%
Japanese Yen: 6%
Pound Sterling: 5%
Canadian & Australian Dollars: ~5% combined
Chinese Renminbi: just 2%
Others: the rest

Despite all the de-dollarization talk, no one's come close to challenging USD dominance.

#Silver just crushed it in 2025!

The top performing metals this year:

#Silver: +134%
Platinum: +134%
#Gold: +73%
#Copper: +36%
Aluminum: +16%

Precious metals dominated amid geopolitical chaos, dollar weakness, rate cuts, and massive industrial demand.
Silver and platinum both doubled in value historic rallies!

AI is powering a massive surge in US data center electricity demand!

power demand exploding to 110 GW by 2035 nearly triple today's levels.

"Power demand" here refers to the total electricity the entire data center facility uses hourly on average.

This is why grids are straining and new energy buildout is urgent.

AI boom = energy boom.
(Note: BNEF just revised this UP 36% to 106 GW in Dec 2025 growth accelerating fast!)

Why Gold Still Matters in 2026

And Why It's Hitting Record Highs?

Central banks hold 36,000 tonnes a massive chunk of all gold ever mined as a ultimate safe-haven, liquid store of value, and buffer against global shocks.

In 2025?

Epic rally: +70% YTD, smashing records repeatedly. Spot gold now trading above $4,500/oz (peaked $4,532 recently)

biggest annual gain since 1979!

Key drivers:

Geopolitical chaos .
Rate cut bets
Central bank buying
Weakening USD + commodity strength

Gold's resilience shines in uncertainty.
As risks linger into 2026, this "strategic anchor" could keep shining.
Bullish on gold? What's your target for 2026?

💰 China launches a $14 billion investment fund

The idea is to create its own technology champions.

It will be financed by ultra-long-term sovereign bonds.

To this, three regional funds have just been added, totaling $7 billion.

The targets are clear:

✅ Semiconductors
✅ Quantum computing
✅ Biomedicine
✅ Brain-computer interfaces
✅ Aerospace

AI data centers are so power hungry they're literally turning to aircraft jet engines!

Grid connection delays (5-10 years!) + turbine shortages are forcing hyperscalers to deploy "aeroderivative" gas turbines repurposed or new engines based on aviation tech bolted onto trailers for on-site power.

Examples:Boom Supersonic's new "Superpower" 42MW natural gas turbines (derived from their supersonic jet engine) just landed a massive 1.21GW order from Crusoe.

Companies like ProEnergy & GE Vernova repurposing old Boeing 747 engines (up to 48MW each) as bridging power.

Less efficient & more emissions than big grid plants, but gets AI clusters online FAST amid the boom.

The energy crunch is real and creative solutions are roaring to life.

#AI #DataCenters #EnergyCrisis #JetEngines #Tech

#Gold, #silver, #platinum, #copper all hitting record highs together is unusual🧵

Whenever precious metals rally with industrial metals, people say it's a recession signal. Historically, it often is but this time there's a massive structural driver in Central banks, which have bought 25%+ of all gold demand in 2025.

They're shifting reserves away from US Treasuries into gold permanently. For the first time in decades, central banks hold more gold than US Treasuries (That's de-dollarization)

Silver and copper's rally is because of pure industrial demand in AI data centers, EVs, solar panels, mine disruptions, tariff stockpiling.

➠ What's happening onchain?

Tokenized #commodities mcap just hit $3.93B. That's 278% growth in one year (we were at $1.04B last December)

➣ #XAUT (Tether Gold): $1.75B mcap
➣ #PAXG (Paxos Gold): $1.62B mcap

Both up 10%+ in the last 30 days tracking gold's rally. Now the real shift I see here is on perpDEXs. Platforms like Ostium.com which is built on #arbitrum just crossed $30B in cumulative trading volume.

I was looking at their onchain data and saw crypto is less than 2% of their activity. RWA dominate ~93% volume share. Commodities itself has 55% of daily volume

‣ Up to 200x leverage
‣ No withdrawal limits, no KYC
‣ Public fees, liquidity, OI is verifiable
‣ $5B+ in metals alone
‣ OI is at $225M

Ostium generated $3.79M in protocol revenue in Q4 2025 alone. $2.34M gross profit. Most competitors have higher OI/volume but 95% crypto-focused.

Ostium is ranked 9th based on OI among all perpDEXs despite focusing almost entirely on RWAs (has 39 pairs)

That positioning is what's driving growth now. Degen traders want macro exposure without off-ramping to custodial brokers. TradFi users want no KYC, high-leverage access during 24/7 volatility. Ostium.com sits in the middle and captures both.

See crypto is becoming the rails for macro hedging and real asset exposure. IMO tokenized commodities will hit $10B+ in 2026 as more traders realize they can hedge macro risk without leaving crypto rails. The onchain #RWA war has just started.
