Assessing how China’s strategic moves are challenging Trump’s crypto plans

China is actively reshaping the global economic order by reducing its dependence on the U.S. dollar, as evidenced by its U.S. Treasury holdings falling to an 18-year low of $686.6 billion. Simultaneously, the country has increased its gold reserves to a record 2.3k tonnes, reinforcing a strategic shift away from dollar-driven volatility. This move has spurred a global "gold rush," with significant inflows into gold ETFs and growing investor interest in precious metals as safe-haven assets. These developments pose a challenge to both Bitcoin, which has struggled to maintain momentum, and to former U.S. President Donald Trump’s ambition of establishing the U.S. as the global crypto capital. As gold continues to rally—with some analysts targeting $7,000/oz—China’s actions are testing the perceived safe-haven status of cryptocurrencies and altering the broader landscape of global economic influence.
