Odaily Planet Daily News: According to data released this month by the World Gold Council, the official holdings of U.S.-based gold by foreign countries now total more than 900 million troy ounces. These data, sourced from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), mainly reflect the situation as of the end of November, with some countries' data as of October. Based on the gold price on November 30, the value of these gold reserves amounts to $3.82 trillion. In comparison, as of October, the total value of U.S. Treasury securities (both short- and long-term) held by governments outside the U.S. was approximately $3.88 trillion. Assuming non-U.S. central banks do not reduce their gold holdings and using year-end prices for calculation, the estimated value of gold reserves held by non-U.S. central banks by the end of 2025 would be about $3.93 trillion. This means that the scale of gold reserves has officially surpassed the amount of U.S. Treasury holdings. (Jinshi)

CFT measures have not curbed central banks' gold purchases. As of November 30, 2025, non-U.S. central banks held $3.93 trillion in gold, surpassing U.S. Treasury holdings, which stood at $3.88 trillion as of October 2025. This shift is consistent with MiCA's promotion of diversified reserves. Despite regulatory scrutiny, demand for gold remains robust.
