Gold Replaces Dollar as DXY Crashes and Global Shift Accelerates

Taylor Kenney - ITM Trading Apr 22, 2025

Foreign governments are dumping dollars. The DXY is crashing. Gold is hitting all-time highs. Taylor Kenney explains why we’re entering the most dangerous phase of a global financial reset—and what you can do before it’s too late. If you’re holding dollar-denominated assets, you need to see this.

For over 80 years, the U.S. dollar has stood at the center of global finance. It has been the world’s reserve currency, the foundation upon which economies settle trade and store value. But today, that foundation is beginning to crack. From plunging foreign demand for U.S. Treasuries to record-breaking gold purchases by central banks, the warning signs are flashing. We are entering a new financial era—and few are prepared for what lies ahead.

The Shift Away from the Dollar

Historically, when geopolitical tensions rise, global investors flee to U.S. assets for safety. But now, the opposite is happening. Foreign governments are rapidly offloading U.S. Treasuries, and the dollar index (DXY) is plummeting—down nearly 9% this year, and almost 4% since April 2nd alone. This is the worst stretch for the dollar in over two decades.

And it’s not just a dip. It’s a signal.

The decline of the dollar isn’t just about domestic purchasing power—it’s about global confidence. The system that propped up the dollar since World War II is now unwinding. Other nations are actively seeking alternatives. Spearheaded by BRICS nations, especially China and Russia, there is a coordinated push for a multipolar currency world. Countries once dependent on the dollar are calling for a new financial order—one where the U.S. dollar is no longer king.

The Rise of Gold as a Global Backstop

So where is the capital going? The answer: gold.

Central banks have quietly purchased over a billion ounces of gold in the last decade. Not just as a hedge, but as preparation. These institutions understand that a fiat-based monetary system, especially one centered on a weakening dollar, cannot last forever.

Gold is re-entering the spotlight. From calls to audit Fort Knox to surging physical gold delivery demands, all indicators point to a shift in how global wealth is preserved. And the price of gold reflects this transformation, reaching all-time highs as confidence in fiat currencies deteriorates.

For individual investors and retirees, this isn’t just noise—it’s a roadmap. Gold offers a timeless, tangible alternative in a world where the very currency underpinning our savings is being revalued.

The Vicious Debt Spiral

At the core of this collapse is America’s unsustainable debt. As confidence in the dollar drops, so too does the appetite for U.S. bonds. This forces the Treasury to offer higher yields to attract new buyers, raising the cost of servicing our national debt.

Today, over $1 trillion is spent annually just on interest payments—and that number is climbing fast.

This is what economists refer to as a “debt spiral.”

Less demand for debt leads to higher interest rates. Higher rates lead to more debt. More debt leads to more bonds being issued. And more bonds flooding the market? Even higher rates.

It’s a self-reinforcing loop. And once the system loses control, there’s only one fallback: the Federal Reserve. But if the Fed has to step in and buy the debt itself, it will require printing massive amounts of money. That means inflation. And with inflation comes even further destruction of confidence in the dollar.

Confidence Is Cracking

This isn’t hypothetical. It’s already happening.

Since the Federal Reserve’s creation, the dollar has lost 97% of its purchasing power. And 25% of that loss has occurred in just the last five years. That’s not a decline—it’s a collapse in slow motion.

The current fiscal year has seen one of the highest deficits on record, second only to the COVID-era surge in 2021. Debt is soaring, and interest payments are at record highs. Meanwhile, the average American is seeing the value of their savings erode day by day.

Like the story of the frog in boiling water, most people won’t react until it’s too late. But this slow boil is reaching a tipping point, and now is the time to act.

A Tangible Solution: Gold and Silver

At ITM Trading, we believe in preparing for reality, not theory. When trust breaks down and the monetary system begins to fail, you need assets that don’t depend on anyone’s promise. That’s why we advocate for physical gold and silver—real, finite assets you can hold in your hand.

Physical gold cannot be inflated away. It does not rely on central banks or governments. It’s a store of value with a 5,000-year track record.

As Taylor Kenney explains, “When confidence collapses, and we’re in a full-blown crisis of confidence right now, what would you rather hold your generational wealth in? A dollar that’s lost nearly all of its purchasing power, or physical gold that’s being embraced by the world’s most powerful institutions?”

The shift is happening. You can feel it. You can see it in the headlines, the market data, and the central bank actions. Even the mainstream media is beginning to acknowledge that the U.S. is facing a financial reckoning.
