Fed Hints at Gold Revaluation: From ‘Conspiracy Theory’ to Central Bank Policy?
Fed Hints at Gold Revaluation: From ‘Conspiracy Theory’ to Central Bank Policy?
Miles Franklin Metals: 8-12-2025
Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, speaks with Matthew Piepenburg, Partner at VON GREYERZ, about the Federal Reserve’s surprising acknowledgment of gold revaluation as a debt solution – a move once dismissed as “tinfoil hat” thinking.
The Fed’s recent notes detail how countries have revalued gold reserves to raise cash without selling an ounce and how the U.S. could do the same.
Piepenburg breaks down what this could mean for the dollar, U.S. debt, and global power dynamics, plus the risks if Russia and China hold more gold than America.
This discussion is a Quick Cut from a longer in-depth interview. It covers:
Why the Fed is “planting the seed” for gold revaluation
How past gold revaluations worked in other countries
The trillion-dollar question: Spot price vs. $20K gold
Risks if China & Russia have more gold than the U.S.
Would this accelerate de-dollarization?
