Welcome to CoinRank Daily Data Report. In this column series, CoinRank will provide important daily cryptocurrency data news, allowing readers to quickly understand the latest developments in the cryptocurrency market.

Gold May Surpass US Treasury Bonds to Become the Largest Official Reserve Asset

Driven by the surge in gold prices over the past year and active purchases by central banks worldwide, gold is poised to surpass US Treasury bonds to become the largest reserve asset held by US governments overseas.

According to data released this month by the World Gold Council, the total amount of official US gold reserves held overseas exceeds 900 million troy ounces (data for most countries is as of the end of November, while data for a few countries is as of the end of October).

Based on gold prices on November 30, this is equivalent to $3.82 trillion in gold.

In comparison, as of October, the value of long-term and short-term US Treasury bonds held by US governments overseas was close to $3.88 trillion.

Assuming that the size of central bank gold reserves remains unchanged by the end of the year, based on year-end prices, the value of US official gold reserves held overseas would be $3.93 trillion, already exceeding the size of US Treasury bonds held by overseas governments.

Polymarket’s denial of a US invasion of Venezuela sparks strong user discontent.

The decentralized prediction market Polymarket’s refusal to classify the recent US military raid on Venezuela and the arrest of President Maduro and his wife as an “invasion” has sparked strong user discontent.

Despite the US seizing power and taking the head of state to the US, contracts worth millions of dollars related to “invasion” were ruled “not triggered,” drawing criticism from gamblers who see it as “redefining facts.”

The platform, founded by crypto entrepreneurs, received approval from the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to return to the US market after Donald Trump Jr., son of former President Trump, invested in and joined its board.

This incident not only raises questions about the transparency of the judgment criteria but also raises deeper concerns about insider trading and whether the platform is politically influenced.

This incident reflects the risks of ambiguity and regulatory vacuum in the definition of real-world political and military events faced by decentralized prediction markets.
