As of July 2025, a massive regulatory change fully kicked in (Basel III Endgame). It reclassified physical Gold as a "Tier 1 Asset" for banks.
Previously: Gold was considered risky (Tier 3), so banks were discouraged from holding it.
Now: Gold is legally treated the same as Cash or Treasury Bonds. It is "Risk-Free" on a bank's balance sheet.
The Signal: While telling retail investors to buy tech stocks, Central Banks and commercial banks have been loading up on physical gold because they know the Treasury market (the "House of Cards") is becoming unstable.
