China Dollar Replacement Highlights De-Dollarization Ambitions
China has unveiled plans to expand its gold and silver reserves while promoting the yuan as a global reserve currency. These efforts are seen as part of a broader strategy to reduce dependence on the U.S. dollar.
Recent statements by President Xi Jinping highlighted China’s push for internationalizing the yuan. According to reports, these moves include large-scale gold purchases and sales of U.S. Treasuries.
Precious Metals Play a Key Role
China’s gold and silver accumulation is very important to the plan. By late 2025, China had purchased over 2,200 tons of gold. These reserves back the yuan and aim to give more confidence in China’s currency.
The government also launched the “Action Plan for High-Quality Development of the Gold Industry (2025–2027)”, which seeks to modernize mining, refine production and increase the international appeal of Chinese gold. Analysts say combining precious metals with currency internationalization could make the yuan more attractive globally.
Market Reactions and Crypto Implications
Crypto communities see China’s China’s dollar replacement plan as potentially bullish for Bitcoin. They argue that de-dollarization, reducing global reliance on the U.S. dollar, could boost decentralized assets.
However, experts warn that China faces challenges. The yuan is constrained by capital controls and does not yet enjoy the global trust the dollar holds, which still accounts for 58% of global reserves. While the plan is ambitious, widespread adoption of the yuan as a reserve currency may take years.
How Markets Might React
China’s dollar replacement strategy reflects its ambition to reshape the global financial system. By combining precious metal reserves with efforts to internationalize the yuan, the country is signaling that it wants more influence in international trade and finance.
For markets, this could have long-term implications for both traditional currencies and digital assets. Investors and crypto enthusiasts alike will be watching closely to see whether these moves shift global reserve balances in the years ahead.
