Your mid-week commentary is a day early this week because I am putting out a special film tomorrow all about everyone's favourite metal. Watch your inboxes.There is a shift of enormously significant proportions taking place. In magnitude it will prove as significant as Bretton Woods in 1944, when the dollar became the de facto global reserve currency, and the Nixon Shock of 1971, when the US abandoned the last vestiges of its gold standard.This shift is going to shape the global financial landscape over the next few years. You need to understand what is happening, so that you can position yourself and your family.You may even be able to profit handsomely from the transition.Today we explain US dollar policy: what is going on and, more importantly, where it is all going.Ready? Here goes.The Manufacturing Imperative and The Curse of the Reserve CurrencyAmerica wants to bring manufacturing back on shore. We all know this. US President Donald Trump has said it repeatedly, his VP JD Vance has said it, and so has his Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who keeps reminding us that it is now time to prioritise Main Street over Wall Street.Part of the reshoring of US manufacturing involves tariffs, as we know all too well. Part of it involves weakening the US dollar to make US exports more competitive. Again Trump, Vance and Bessent have all said it.However, there is a problem, and that problem has a name: Triffin's Dilemma.You might think it's an advantage to issue the global reserve currency. You can issue dollars. Everyone else has to work for them. The French called it "America's exorbitant privilege." But this was a status the US engineered for itself during the Bretton Woods Agreement that determined the monetary order at the end of World War Two.What has happened, however, is that it has made the US fat and lazy, especially since 1971 when the US abandoned the ties of the dollar to gold.To supply the world with dollars, the US must run trade deficits. That is to say it must buy more than it sells. Persistent trade deficits have, over time, eroded its industrial base. Factories and jobs have gone offshore. Foreign nations have used their profits to invest in US capital markets and its debt. Meanwhile financial markets - aka Wall Street - have grown and grown, as America financialized.The Trump administration gets it in a way its predecessors did not. Vance has actually called the dollar's reserve status a "tax" on American producers.What's more, as this process has continued, the credibility of the dollar itself is being called further into doubt.Trump wants to revitalise America's Rust Belt. But there is more to it than that. As the curtains pulled back with Covid, the extent to which the US has been operating with its trousers down was exposed: an excessive dependence on China and its supply chains for too many strategically essential products, especially related to health, tech and the military. Then, during the Ukraine conflict, NATO found itself unable to match Russian production. The US, in short, is struggling to produce critical goods. It's why Trump keeps harping on about rare earth metals. It is vulnerable.The answer is to engineer a "managed decline" of the dollar as global reserve asset.The Golden Exit StrategyThis was already happening organically. China, for example, has been reducing its holdings of US treasuries for ten years now - quite gradually - although its US dollar holdings remain above $3 trillion.Meanwhile, China - and many other countries along the Silk Road besides - have been increasing their gold holdings, and quite dramatically. (In my view China has at least four times as much gold as it says it does. You can read more on this in my book). The process is known as de-dollarisation. Just a few months ago gold overtook the euro to become the second most held asset by central banks, while the dollar itself fell beneath 50% for the first time this century.We are not seeing a move towards any other national currency as global reserve, but towards the neutral but universal asset that is gold, as analyst Luke Groman points out. That suits all the main players. Gold is neutral, and both the US (supposedly) and China have lots of it.Indeed, a gold revaluation would be a "win-win" for both. A higher gold price would strengthen US fiscal flexibility while boosting Chinese consumers' wealth, encouraging domestic consumption and reducing trade imbalances.There is the potential to leverage the US's 261 million ounces (8,133 tonnes) of gold reserves, currently marked to market at just $42/oz. There are two ways this might be done. Economist Judy Shelton has proposed issuing Treasuries that are in part backed by gold to offset the inflation/debasement risk to make them more attractive to buyers. The other possibility (which has gone from, as Bessent put it, "we are not doing this" to "we are not doing this yet") is to revalue the gold from $42 to the current price of $3,300/oz, which would create over $850 billion of reserves without having to incur any extra debt. That would help with the US's current fiscal challenges: true interest expenses (including entitlements and veterans' affairs) currently exceed 100% of Treasury receipts.If you buying gold or silver coins to protect yourself in these “interesting times” - and I urge you to - as always I recommend The Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them. More here.In short, the US administration is leaning into a weaker dollar and neutral reserve assets like gold to rebalance trade and rebuild domestic industry, even at the cost of short-term economic pain.Your really should subscribe.Bitcoin's Digital Advantage and The Stablecoin BridgeBitcoin, as the world's best neutral digital currency, is going to have a role to play in all of this as well.The US is quite happy with that, as evidenced by its pro-bitcoin rhetoric. At the national, corporate and individual levels the US has a lot of bitcoin. The US itself has 198,000 coins, the most of any nation, Strategy (NYSE:MSTR) has 630,000 and many other companies besides also hold, and at least 15% of US citizens own bitcoin. Of the eventual 21 million supply, of which probably 15% has been lost and another 1.3 million are locked up by Satoshi Nakamoto and will likely never appear (he is almost certainly dead), the US has a hefty chunk.Which brings us to the recent Genius Act. This effectively nixed CBDCs just as the EU's Christine Lagarde was planning to phase them in (LOL). However, it supported stablecoins (that is coins backed by dollars). The more bitcoin grows the more the stablecoin market will grow. As the stable coin market grows so will its demand for treasuries. Today, roughly half the entire US dollar stablecoin market, estimated at $250 billion, is invested in US treasuries (maybe 2% of the overall treasuries market). Tether is the world's 7th largest buyer.The market is small, but growing rapidly. 2035 projections include $500 billion (J.P.Morgan's projection) to $2 trillion (Standard Chartered) and $4 trillion (Bernstein) by 2035."If the stablecoin market meets these growth projections," says the Kansas City Fed, "it could lead to a substantial redistribution of funds within the financial system."In other words the stablecoin market is going to help the US fund its debt, just as other nations move away from treasuries to gold and bitcoin.Gold might suit the US, but bitcoin suits it better, especially if there are complications surrounding the Fort Knox gold, which it seems there are. Why no audit yet?Tell people about this.Gold vs Bitcoin, Analogue vs Digital: The Coming ShowdownIt's likely a few years from now there is going to be some sort of showdown between gold and bitcoin in the battle for primary reserve asset status. It's unlikely to be both. Governments will favour gold, as they have lots of it. Tradition is on their side. Eternal gold has a track record that is unrivalled. But it is an analogue asset in a digital world. Bitcoin is much more practical. Which will win out? Practical digital or impractical analogue?This is a contest that is still a way off. For now all roads lead to gold and bitcoin as the world de-dollarizes.Own both is what I say.Needless to say the UK is absolutely clueless in all of this, having sold two-thirds of its gold in 1999, made it near impossible for UK citizens to buy bitcoin, now planning to sell its bitcoin holdings, now the largest holder of US treasuries in the world after Japan and making no attempt to buy any gold.With the threat of AI and automation to America's jobs - especially in driving where millions work - there is the risk of mass unemployment coming quite quickly, and with it plentiful defaults on mortgages and loans. This could force the U.S. to print money, driving inflation and providing yet another reason to own gold and bitcoin, which cannot be debased.From October 8th, UK citizens will finally be able to buy bitcoin ETNs.I was lucky enough over the weekend to find myself as a house guest under the same roof as Interactive Investor CEO Richard Wilson. We talked a lot. He knows how landmark the date October 8th is for UK investors and has made sure II are well positioned in a way that other brokerages are not. You might not be able to buy the US ETFs due to FCA nonsense, but anything listed in the UK will be available. So if you don't already have an account at II you might do well to open an account now. Click this link and the first year is free.In short, the dollar will weaken significantly over the next three years. The pound is a basket case. National currencies are not stores of wealth. Gold and bitcoin are. Own both as the Trump administration addresses Triffin's Dilemma through a managed dollar decline. They will use gold and potentially bitcoin to restore US industrial and military strength.You have been warned.Tell people about this post.Watch your inboxes. Tomorrow I'll be putting out a 15-minute film all about gold called The Eternal Metal. On which note, The Secret History of Gold is out now.

In this insightful episode of Kiln DeFi Rendez-Vous, host Laszlo Szabo, CEO & Co-Founder at Kiln, sits down with Duncan Moir, President of 21Shares, the world's largest crypto ETP issuer, for a deep dive into the explosive growth of Bitcoin ETFs, the evolving landscape of institutional crypto adoption, and what's next for digital asset investing.Less than a year after their launch, Bitcoin ETFs have captured nearly 70% of the trading volume of gold ETFs (GLD)—a staggering milestone that underscores the pent-up demand for crypto exposure in traditional finance. Duncan breaks down why this is just the beginning, with the $40 trillion US pension fund market still largely on the sidelines.The conversation explores how major players like Goldman Sachs are entering the space, why Ethereum ETFs haven't seen the same success as Bitcoin (yet), and the critical role of staking in ETPs—especially in Europe, where 21Shares has pioneered innovative products. Duncan shares his unique perspective on regulation, from the UK's recent shift allowing retail crypto ETNs to the SEC's cautious approach in the US.With over 40 crypto ETPs under its belt, 21Shares has become a bellwether for institutional crypto adoption. Duncan reveals how the company selects new assets, from blue-chip tokens to emerging altcoins, and why Dogecoin—often dismissed as a memecoin—has surprising institutional potential. He also discusses the growing intersection of traditional finance and on-chain assets, including the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) like BlackRock's BUIDL money market fund.Before joining 21Shares, Duncan spent years in hedge funds and asset management, eventually leading Aberdeen's digital asset division and serving on the board of Hedera Hashgraph. He shares lessons from his journey, including how blockchain can streamline archaic financial systems and why crypto is maturing beyond speculative trading into a strategic portfolio allocation.PODCAST INFO:

Nerina Visser from etfSA helps explain how ETNs differ from ETFs, their uses and benefits.
Fineqia International Inc (CSE:FNQ, OTC:FNQQF) CEO Bundeep Singh Rangar talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about launching the world's first exchange-traded product (ETP) that deploys digital assets in yield-bearing decentralized finance (DeFi). Rangar explained the product's unique value, providing access to DeFi yield through a transparent, regulated security listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange. The Fineqia FTSE Cardano Enhanced Yield ETN (AV:YADA) is based on the Cardano network, a top ten cryptocurrency valued at over $35 billion, and allows investors to participate in DeFi activities such as borrowing, lending, and validating transactions, which generate fees. Unlike traditional ETFs and ETNs, Fineqia's product reinvests 80% of these yields back to investors, making it a truly innovative approach. Rangar highlighted the importance of partnering with FTSE Russell, a subsidiary of the London Stock Exchange, to ensure robust pricing data for this groundbreaking product. He added, "This is an icebreaker for what we want to do in the industry... We're about being innovative and different." This collaboration sets a milestone for the ETP industry by combining blockchain technology and traditional finance, giving fund managers and retail investors easy access to decentralized finance through a familiar financial instrument.

Explore the foundational premises and workings of ETFs, a type of pooled investment vehicle, as regulated by the Investment Company Act of 1940. Understand the correlation between the value of an ETF and the securities it owns, and simplify the processes involved in buying and selling ETF shares. Get clarity on how ETFs differ from mutual funds in terms of management, taxable income, and their amazing flexibility to track indices, commodities and various securities. Understand why ETFs are known as passive investments and how their quarter-end rebalancing activities contribute to this categorisation. Ken dissects the impacts of expense ratios and tracking errors on ETF performance compared to the tracked index. Learn about the multiple types of ETFs, their characteristics, and risks involved when investing in leveraged and inverse ETFs and Exchange Traded Notes (ETNs). This episode also starkly highlights the difference between ETFs and ETNs, shedding light on the debt-nature of ETNs and why they may be less appealing to investors due to default risk.

In this re-run of Best of Panic, I had been dying to get Jan on the podcast. After my brief podcast break, I decided to have a lot of my friends on – people I like talking to about markets. Jan will always be one of those people. He's super smart and well educated. I'm in the lucky position where I don't have to be in the market, but because I'm fascinated by markets, started Stocktwits, love talking about them, and want to continue banging out some alpha, I invited Jan on the podcast. We had a great discussion about debt. We talk about money flows, and while Jan wasn't the earliest, but early enough with directionally putting his firm on a path towards crypto, he had a lot of neat insights there as well. As was true then and is true now, people need to be thinking about the market in just a little different way than what worked in the past.

It's been a long time since we covered financial markets. This time, we deep dive into crypto ETPs. In this episode, I sit down with Bradley who explains the fundamental differences between ETNs, ETFs and ETCs. You'll discover that what the ETC Group has deployed is both a challenge from a regulatory perspective and from the back office of an organization point of view. Created a few years ago, the ETC Group already released ETPs and ETFs on various crypto currencies and listed its products on various European exchanges such as Xetra and Euronext. We take a closer look at the process from prospectus creation to listing. We also discuss the key role of the providers and especially that of the custodial and liquidity providers. Finally, we dive into the rise of these products that clearly straddle two worlds. I have tried to break it down as much as possible! A great episode for those with a key interest in financial markets!

VICE. UFO. COW. Welcome to the weird world of niche ETFs. Exchange Traded Funds are an easy way for investors to buy into a basket of stocks. The last few years has seen a proliferation of ETFs that offer investors different indices, themes, and strategies. We discuss which of these funds is worth our time, in what environments they might outperform, and how best to incorporate them in our portfolio. And in today's Dumb Question of the Week, we ask: What's the difference between ETFs and ETNs? Get in touch
Das Marktverhalten ist zunehmend unberechenbar und die Luftlöcher, in die einzelne Aktien nach den Ergebnissen fallen, sind ein Warnzeichen dafür, wie dünn die Liquidität ist. Die hohe Volatilität über alle Anlageklassen hinweg, gekoppelt mit einer insgesamt dünnen Liquidität, sind der Nährboden für unvorhersehbare Ereignisse. Margin Calls nehmen zu, was in Folge zu Zwangsliquidierungen führt. Das Volumen bei den gehebelten ETFs oder ETNs auf die leitenden US-Indizes sollten genauso im Auge behalten werden, wie die Implosion einiger Stablecoins. Allein am Mittwoch wurden 200 Milliarden Dollar an Wert vernichtet, schätzt CoinMarketCap. Es wird wichtig sein, dass vor allem der Tether stabil bleibt. Was Aktien betrifft, stehen heute Disney, Rivian, Sonos und Bumble im Fokus.

A little over four years since 2018's Volmageddon, and 2 years after TVIX got terminated – two new VIX ETF's were recently launched – the 1x short VIX exposure SVIX and 2x long VIX exposure UVIX by VelocityShares. What's different about them, how do they protect against another Feb of 2018 event. We're going straight to the source(s) to answer those questions and more; chatting up three musketeers of VIX expertise: Stuart Barton CIO of VolatilityShares, Jim Carroll of the @Vixologist Twitter handle, and Six Figure Investing blog writer Vance Harwood. They join us to talk through just what is innovative about this new approach, and why such innovation was necessary. This all-star trio talks us through the plumbing behind these new VIX products (including their new index construction/design, rebalancing methodology, and VIX vs.VIX futures), why all levered ETFs suffer from Volatility drag, why futures based ETFs suffer from Contango, and what can be done about those two issues, knowing the difference between ETPs, ETNs & ETFs, what's in store for volatility the rest of the year, and everything else having to do with VIX futures. Plus, we get an interesting insight into their hottest takes!

Our guest this week was Stuart Barton, co-founder and Chief Investment Officer at Volatility Shares. Our conversation ranged across topics that included: Early career as a vol trader and how the space has changed over time Volatility Shares' investment approach – probability-weighting and active trading ETNs, ETFs and other ‘packaging' models – benefits and drawbacks Settlement as a crucial variable – matching vehicles and their underlying assets A post-mortem on the ‘Volmageddon' episode in February 2018 Volatility strategies – wide variety of flavors for investors of all stripes and sizes ‘Picking up pennies in front of a steamroller' and other vol strategies to avoid Asymmetric risks and rewards Term-structures, curves, expirations and roll-yields The ‘boring' 3-month VIX futures contracts Multiple sources of signal in the VIX curve, including its shape and how it moves vs the S&P 500 (aka skew delta) The relationship between spot and future volatility at different points along the curve The various ‘800-pound gorillas in the room' and their techniques for minimizing market impact Why attempts at front-running these larger players sometimes go awry The reflexive and ever-evolving race towards alpha And much more This is “ReSolve's Riffs” – live on YouTube every Friday afternoon to debate the most relevant investment topics of the day, hosted by Adam Butler, Mike Philbrick and Rodrigo Gordillo of ReSolve Global* and Richard Laterman of ReSolve Asset Management. *ReSolve Global refers to ReSolve Asset Management SEZC (Cayman) which is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as a commodity trading advisor and commodity pool operator.

Nerina Visser is the leading ETF expert in South Africa. Magic Markets hosts The Finance Ghost and Mohammed Nalla (Moe-Knows) had the pleasure of hosting her on Magic Markets in Episode 4 and they were excited to welcome her back for Episode 40! In this show, some of the more technical elements of ETFs and ETNs are discussed. For example, there are important differences between the two structures when it comes to underlying risk.

Covering ETFs this year was like trying to hit a constantly moving target. Businessweek's annual “Jealousy List” -- stories by other outlets that the magazine's staff wish they would've published -- inspired Eric and Joel to bring an ETF version of the idea to Trillions. On this episode, Katherine Greifeld, Claire Ballentine, and Yakob Petersseil of Bloomberg News, who specialize in covering ETFs, join them to discuss a few of the articles they wish they had written this year, about topics such as ETNs, volatility, target date funds, and concerns about index funds. Honorees include New York's Josh Barro; ETF Trends's Dave Nadig; WSJ's Akane Otani, Sebastian Pellejero and Chana Schoenberger; and Institutional Investor's Leanna Orr. Eric also highlights some of his favorites by his colleagues at Bloomberg News. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Volatility Review: A look back at the week from a volatility perspective. VIX Cash is back in the teens. Could it possibly reach 15 again? The market is tanking and rallying on both trade war and real war concerns. VVIX - 97 VIX Options - ADV: 1.05M, VIX call/put: 2.2/1, Total 8.50m (5.85m Calls, 2.66m Puts) Paper sells May 20/22 call spread and buy May 17 puts 84,000 times.

Volatility Voicemail: Volatility Flash Poll Which product/segment do you think will experience the most Volatility over the coming trading week (through the close on Friday 2/20) SPY SPX VIX WTI Crude Gold Bitcoin BTC GLD USO S&P500: SPY, SPX. VIX Gold: GLD, Comex Crude Oil: WTI, USOF Bitcoin: BTC Listener questions and comments: Question from Loades - What will it take to get VIX back into the 15 handle? Comment from Jack -I'm with the questioner from last week. It's a huge pain to figure out which VIX future the weekly options are trading on. CBOE needs to hold more brokers feet to the fire to surface that stuff much more readily. Question from Alfred - Any updates on the VIX whistle blower? Comment from Chingis - Dudes, how about a weekly rundown of the hot VIX ETFs and ETNs? Question from Elandra -If you could have your ideal volatility product what would it be? Question from DKMan - Why no options on TVIX? Crystal Ball: Wild prognostication Last week: Mark L. - 17.15 Mark S. - 17.89 Russell - 19.99 This week: Mark L. - 17.17 Mark S. - 15.00
