The possibility of a gold revaluation in the United States is no longer a fringe discussion. With Scott Bessent now serving as Treasury Secretary, the signals coming out of Washington suggest that gold is once again being considered as a pillar of fiscal and monetary strategy.
Judy Shelton, long associated with calls for a return to sound money, has openly floated the idea of issuing Treasury Trust Bonds tied to gold—potentially as early as July 4th, 2026, the 250th anniversary of American independence.
The symbolism is deliberate: a declaration of economic renewal backed by the one asset that has anchored monetary systems for millennia.
But it may not just be about the future—it could already be underway.
Andy Schectman points to staggering amounts of physical gold quietly being drawn out of COMEX since last November. Over $100 billion worth of gold has moved, with delivery percentages far exceeding historic norms.
For decades, less than one percent of contracts stood for delivery. Now, we’re seeing 100 percent fulfillment in certain contract months, with billions leaving the ecosystem.
The obvious question is: who is buying all this gold? The secrecy and scale strongly suggest that it is not hedge funds or private investors.
The possibility that the U.S. government itself is behind this accumulation cannot be ignored.
