CHINA & GLOBAL MARKETS:
China is quietly stepping back from U.S. Treasuries and it's making waves in global markets! 🇨🇳🇺🇸
$BNB $ETH $XRP Recent reports (including from Bloomberg) reveal that Chinese regulators have advised major banks to limit new purchases and reduce their holdings of U.S. government bonds. The reason? Concerns over concentration risk and sharp market volatility U.S. debt could expose banks to big swings.
Official U.S. Treasury data backs this up: As of November 2025, China's holdings stand at just $682.6 billion the lowest since 2008, down significantly from the peak of over $1.3 trillion in 2013. This continues a years-long trend of diversification.
Why this matters for crypto, stocks, and the dollar:
- U.S. Treasuries remain the backbone of global finance, influencing interest rates worldwide.
- If a major player like China (or its banks) pulls back further, it could add pressure: more volatility in the dollar, choppier risk assets, and potential headwinds for stocks.
- On the flip side, this fuels de-dollarization narratives — with China boosting gold reserves (up for 14+ months straight) as an alternative safe haven.
Markets reacted today: Treasuries dipped slightly, yields edged higher, and the dollar softened on the news.
Is this a slow diversification play or something bigger amid geopolitical tensions? Either way, it's a reminder that the global financial landscape is shifting.
