MYTH
The dollar is unshakable.

FACT
Its grip is slipping and the numbers show it.

In 2025, the U.S. dollar's share of global reserves dropped to 57.7% (IMF data).
That’s the lowest in decades.

Meanwhile:
– BRICS+ accelerated trade in local currencies
– Gold reserve demand hit 290+ tonnes in Q1 2025 alone
– Central banks are quietly shifting out of fiat and into metal

This isn’t panic. It’s preparation.
A recalibration of what nations actually trust when the system strains.

The dollar isn’t dead.
But its dominance?
That’s what’s being re-evaluated.

The 1971 Default Still Shapes 2025

When Nixon closed the gold window in August 1971, it was framed as temporary.

It wasn’t.

What followed was the end of Bretton Woods, the rise of unbacked fiat, and 54 years of monetary drift.

Governments could now print without restraint.
Currencies became promises backed only by trust.
And inflation became a policy tool, not just a risk.

Fast forward to 2025:

– The US debt-to-GDP ratio is above 120%
– Interest payments are outpacing defense spending
– Global reserve demand for dollars is softening
– Central banks bought over 290 tonnes of gold in Q1 2025 alone

This isn’t nostalgia. It’s recognition.

The 1971 decision didn’t just change gold.
It changed the entire architecture of global finance.
A system built on trust not on reserves can only stretch so far.

Today, as fiat credibility weakens, gold is quietly reclaiming its role:
As an anchor. A hedge. A form of final settlement that doesn’t rely on promises.

Gold at Gunpoint
In 1933, the U.S. government made it illegal for Americans to own most forms of gold.

Citizens were required to surrender their gold coins, bullion, and certificates to the Federal Reserve in exchange for $20.67 per ounce.

Refusal? Punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

What followed was worse: just a year later, the government revalued gold to $35/oz devaluing the dollar by 40% overnight.

Gold didn’t fail the system.
The system failed goldholders.

This wasn’t a rogue act in a rogue state.
It was a Western democracy re-writing the rules of money when it suited its power.

Why does this matter now?

Because monetary systems still rely on trust.
And trust can still be revoked.

Gold remains the only reserve asset that doesn’t depend on policy, permission, or paper.

At IPMB, we’re not here to sell nostalgia.
We’re here to ensure that the next chapter of gold ownership can’t be erased with an executive order.

The Price of Peace Is Paid in Gold

When wars end, speeches make headlines.
But the real settlements happen behind closed vaults.

And more often than not, in gold.

It’s not nostalgia. It’s logistics.
Gold settles when trust doesn’t.

Consider the pattern:

— 1871: France pays 5 billion francs in gold to Germany after the Franco-Prussian War.
— 1919: Germany’s WWI reparations are pegged to 132 billion gold marks.
— Post-WWII: The Tripartite Gold Commission redistributes Nazi-looted gold across 15 nations.
— 1990s: Gulf War damages are priced with gold-indexed benchmarks—even if settled in oil or cash.
— 2020s: Sanctioned nations like Iran and Venezuela settle international trade in physical gold, bypassing the dollar grid.

Across centuries, when the talking stops, gold moves.

Because treaties can be broken.
Gold clears.

At IPMB, we’re not here to predict conflict.
We’re building for what comes after it.

Currency vs. Country
What outlasts what?

In 1945, there were 65 national currencies in circulation.
Today, most are gone.

In the past century alone:
— Zimbabwe saw its dollar collapse… four times
— Argentina has had five different currencies since 1970
— Even the mighty British pound lost 99% of its value since 1914

And the empires behind them?
Also fading.
Some slowly. Some overnight.

But gold?

It outlived Rome.
Byzantium.
The Ottomans.
The British Empire.
And maybe next… the dollar.

Gold doesn’t govern. It doesn’t tweet.
It doesn’t need GDP or foreign policy.

It just exists.
Trusted. Scarce. Immune to politics.

That’s why central banks still stack it, long after currencies collapse and maps are redrawn.

At IPMB, we don’t bet on the next empire.
We build infrastructure for what outlasts them all.

Crypto Just Got Invited to the 401(k) Table.

On August 7, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order that could reshape American retirement forever.

For the first time, Bitcoin and Ethereum may soon be included in 401(k) plans right alongside mutual funds and bonds.

That’s over $12 trillion in retirement assets potentially opening up to digital assets.

This move:
– Instructs the SEC and DOL to guide safe crypto integration
– Signals asset managers to start designing crypto retirement products
– Unlocks tax-deferred growth for long-term crypto holders
– Reframes Bitcoin from speculation to structured, institutional allocation

But with opportunity comes risk:
– Volatility still lurks
– Fees could erode gains
– Near-retirees face potential overexposure
– Fiduciary liability is a real concern for plan sponsors

The upside?
Crypto isn’t fringe anymore. It’s now part of the system savers trust most: retirement.

And it might just be the most transformative shift in the sector since index funds.

We’re excited to confirm that the airdrop distribution for eligible participants of Season 1 and Season 2 has now been successfully completed.

Eligible users can now check their wallets to confirm receipt.

Gold just hit $3,500/oz, a new all-time high.
That number speaks less about metals and more about trust breaking down.

The dollar is losing purchasing power.
Global conflict is accelerating.
And central banks? Still hoarding gold.

But retail is still asking, “Is it too late?”

Here’s a better question:
Why do the largest institutions in the world keep buying more?

They’re not chasing price.
They’re hedging against the future.

This isn’t about speculation.
This is about preservation.

Hey everyone,

Gold’s Record Quarter Q2 2025

Gold has been rewriting the script this year.

The LBMA Gold Price averaged $3,280/oz in Q2 up 15% from Q1 and 40% from a year earlier.
Global demand hit 1,249 tonnes, worth $132bn the highest quarterly value ever recorded.
Central banks added 166 tonnes, keeping reserves on the rise even after last year’s surge.
Investment demand was the standout, up 78% YoY, led by ETF inflows and strong retail bar/coin buying.
Mine production reached a Q2 record of 909 tonnes, while recycling rose only 4%, a sign that households are holding on rather than selling.

The story is simple: gold demand is broad, structural, and global.
From ETFs in the West to retail investors in China and India, to central banks diversifying reserves everyone is adding, not reducing.

We’re excited to confirm that the airdrop distribution for eligible participants of Season 4 and Season 5 has now been successfully completed.

When inflation spikes, banks collapse, or global powers flex military muscle, humans do something strange.
They don’t always rush to dollars.
They don’t even always trust their governments.

They reach for gold.
Why?

Not because they understand monetary policy.
Not because they’re experts in macro.
But because the instinct is older than fiat itself.

Gold triggers something deep in the human brain:

Scarcity: There’s only so much of it. You can’t print it.
Time: It’s been valuable for 6,000 years longer than most nations.
Safety: When systems break, gold doesn’t ask questions. It just is.

It’s not just capital preservation. It's an ancestral memory.
The instinct that says: when the world burns, hold what lasts.
And in 2025, with war, debt, and digital surveillance on the rise

That instinct is coming back.

Sound money isn’t just an asset.
It’s a psychological anchor.

UK on the Edge?

Bond yields are at 25-year highs. Debt is near 100% of GDP. Inflation is the fastest in the G7.

Investors are demanding more return to hold UK debt and confidence is cracking. The “mini-budget” scars of 2022 are back in play, and every misstep risks sending yields even higher.

Meanwhile, households face rising prices and stagnant wages, while the government juggles tax hikes, spending U-turns, and exploding debt costs.

Markets aren’t fooled. Sterling is sliding, auctions clear but at a steep price, and gold is hitting fresh highs as investors hedge against UK risk.

Is Britain the canary in the coal mine for the developed world’s debt trap?

The Fed’s Next Move: Relief or Red Flag?

Markets are betting the Fed will start cutting rates for the first time since the pandemic.
Equities are near record highs. Gold is breaking records. Bitcoin is waiting for liquidity to flow again.

History shows:

Cuts often spark rallies.

But they can also signal deep cracks beneath the surface.
2001 and 2008? Cuts didn’t save stocks. 2020? Liquidity drove one of the biggest bull runs ever.

This time, inflation is still above target, debt is higher than ever, and savers face shrinking real yields.

Sound money advocates argue: rate cuts don’t fix the system they mask the fragility. Hard assets like gold, and increasingly Bitcoin, may be the insurance people turn to.

👉 Rate cuts are coming. The real question: are they a lifeline or a warning?
