Gold has officially overtaken the US dollar to become the world’s largest global reserve asset for the first time in nearly 30 years.
By early 2026, central banks were holding gold worth around $4 trillion, slightly higher than the $3.9 trillion held in US Treasuries.
Gold prices surged strongly throughout 2025, crossed $4,500 per ounce in January 2026, and later climbed above $5,300.
Major economies including China, India, and Poland increased their gold reserves to diversify their holdings.
The move highlights a global shift in reserve strategies, as countries gradually reduce reliance on dollar-based assets.
