Gold Overtakes U.S. Treasuries as Top Central Bank Reserve Asset, Tokenization Seen as Next Frontier

Few people have the ability to understand at a deep level both traditional finance & monetary policy AND tokenization & the new RWA frontier. Izabella Kaminska is one of those, which is why we always read her articles with great interest.
