Just caught something wild - Tether's gold holdings have hit over $23 billion, and according to Jefferies, their stash is now outpacing a lot of actual countries in terms of gold reserves. Like, if you stacked Tether's gold against the top 10 countries with most gold reserves, it's sitting pretty high up there. A crypto company casually accumulating more precious metals than some nation states. The buying momentum apparently keeps outpacing what traditional governments are doing with their reserves. Pretty interesting shift when you think about it - not that long ago, this would've seemed impossible. Now we're watching corporate entities compete with countries on commodity holdings. Makes you wonder what the gold market looks like in another few years if this trend keeps going.
