The Great Pivot_ Why Nations Are Turning Away from the Dollar
from Conspiracy Theories Exploring The Unseen · host Michael Fortune
If you have been watching the global financial markets lately, you might have noticed a quiet but tectonic shift. We are talking about de-dollarization.

Think of it less as a breakup and more as a diversification strategy by central banks worldwide. Back in the early two-thousands, the dollar accounted for over seventy percent of global reserves, but by 2026, that figure dipped below fifty-seven percent. So, what is driving this change? The real wake-up call came in 2022.

Naturally, countries began looking for alternatives, seeking assets that carry zero counterparty risk.
