Historically, the global economic order has relied heavily on the US dollar: nations exported goods to America, earned dollars, and then used those dollars to purchase US debt, creating a virtuous cycle of dollar dependence. However, that cycle appears to be breaking down.

The move signifies a desire to shield themselves from potential US economic mismanagement or future crises, especially as confidence in US fiscal and geopolitical stability wanes.
