Kim Jong Un Inspects Submarine Construction, Then Oversees Missile Launch
Pyongyang advances strategic military capabilities amid rising regional tensions
Overview:
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un personally inspected the construction of an 8,700-ton nuclear-powered submarine and oversaw a missile test on December 24–25, 2025, according to state media and official reports.
The submarine project is part of a broader campaign to modernize the North’s navy, with plans for multiple attack destroyers and strategic submarines.
The missile test, conducted near the East Sea, reportedly saw long-range surface-to-air missiles hit targets approximately 200 kilometers away.
Key Developments:
Kim Jong Un observed construction of a submarine with an 8,700-ton displacement and a likely nuclear reactor, which North Korean media claims is nearing operational status.
The associated missile test was aimed at refining strategic technologies for high-altitude and long-range missile systems.
Pyongyang criticized South Korea’s cooperation with the United States on its own nuclear-powered submarine program, calling it a threat to security.
North Korean state media also condemned the recent docking of a U.S. nuclear submarine in South Korea and accused Japan of pursuing nuclear ambitions, heightening regional rhetoric.
Why It Matters:
North Korea’s dual focus on expanding its naval nuclear infrastructure and testing advanced missile systems represents a significant escalation in the military balance of the Korean Peninsula. These developments signal Pyongyang’s intent to project power beyond its borders and strengthen deterrence against regional adversaries.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders:
Heightened military activity in Northeast Asia can influence market risk sentiment, currency stability, and capital flows. Investors often reprice assets and shift into traditional safe havens like gold or U.S. Treasury securities during periods of intensified geopolitical risk. Currencies of countries directly exposed to regional tensions — including Japan, South Korea, and emerging Asian economies — may experience volatility, affecting FX holdings and reserve management strategies.
Implications for the Global Reset:
Pillar 1: Strategic Deterrence as Economic Signal — Military advancements reshape risk pricing across global financial markets.
Pillar 2: Regional Power Competition — Concerted defense buildups influence international alliances and capital allocation priorities.
This is not just military posturing — it’s a geopolitical catalyst reshaping financial confidence and strategic investment flows.

China Accelerates De-Dollarization as BRICS Infrastructure Strategy Deepens
New payment rails and commodity control quietly bypass U.S. financial dominance
Overview:
China is advancing de-dollarization through payment infrastructure, commodity control, and reserve diversification, rather than direct confrontation.
Direct yuan settlement corridors are expanding rapidly across Africa, Asia, and BRICS trade routes.
These developments reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar and circumvent traditional Western financial controls.
Key Developments:
African banks integrated with China’s CIPS payment system now enable direct yuan settlements, cutting transaction times from days to seconds and sharply reducing costs.
China’s Belt and Road investments secured critical mineral supply chains across Africa, linking commodities directly to non-dollar trade settlement.
CIPS processed over 175 trillion yuan in transactions, with participation expanding to more than 120 countries.
China-Russia trade is now settled almost entirely in local currencies, removing dollar exposure from bilateral commerce.
Multiple central banks, including those in Africa and emerging markets, are increasing gold reserves and reducing dollar-denominated assets.
Why It Matters:
The shift marks a structural change in global finance. Instead of challenging the dollar rhetorically, China and its partners are building alternative systems that function more efficiently, allowing trade and settlement to continue outside U.S.-controlled rails such as SWIFT.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders:
As trade increasingly settles in yuan, local currencies, and gold-linked mechanisms, foreign currency holders face a changing reserve landscape. Reduced dollar demand in trade weakens automatic dollar recycling, increases FX volatility, and encourages diversification into commodities, alternative currencies, and non-Western settlement systems.
Implications for the Global Reset:
Pillar 1: Infrastructure Over Ideology — Control of payment rails and commodities matters more than monetary declarations.
Pillar 2: Multipolar Settlement Systems — Trade no longer requires dollar intermediation, accelerating financial fragmentation.
This is not about destroying the dollar overnight — it’s about routing around it until dominance fades.
