A recent video shared on X by Black Swan Capitalist co-founder Versan Aljarrah has drawn attention to comments from Pierre Lassonde, the Canadian businessman and philanthropist known for his work in the mining and investment industries. In the video, Lassonde discusses the growing accumulation of gold by central banks and the declining share of the U.S. dollar in global reserves. His remarks suggest that a significant realignment in the world’s financial system is underway. This shift may eventually reshape how value is stored and transferred internationally, and Aljarrah believes XRP can play a major role. Pierre Lassonde just confirmed what many still don’t see, gold is returning as the world’s reserve asset, replacing the dollar’s role. The next phase is its digitization, and that’s where XRP comes in, the bridge between physical and digital value. Time will reveal the fact. pic.twitter.com/ECVFIcG85z — Black Swan Capitalist (@VersanAljarrah) October 10, 2025 Central Banks Expand Gold Holdings Lassonde noted that central banks have bought around 1,200 tons of gold annually over the past three years, equal to about a third of new mine production. He said this has strengthened gold prices and reflected efforts by nations to back reserves with tangible assets. During this period, the dollar’s share of global reserves fell from about 72% to below 58%. He identified China, India, Turkey, and Poland as key participants in this shift, noting that these nations prefer to hold reserves that are not tied to another country’s debt . Lassonde explained that gold’s attraction lies in its self-contained value, as it exists independently and does not represent an obligation issued by any government. A Shift in the Monetary Landscape Beyond the move into gold, Lassonde observed that China is developing an alternative to the SWIFT payment network , designed to reduce global reliance on U.S. financial infrastructure. XRP has been positioned for years as a viable alternative, and Lassonde said this effort is gaining “traction from countries in Africa, in India,” reflecting a shared desire for greater autonomy in international settlements.

The Bridge Between Physical and Digital Value Versan Aljarrah connected Lassonde’s observations to the growing conversation around digital assets. He wrote that “gold is returning as the world’s reserve asset, replacing the dollar’s role,” and that the next phase is “its digitization.” Aljarrah suggested that this transition would bring XRP into focus as the bridge between physical and digital value . As central banks accumulate gold and diversify away from the dollar, some analysts believe XRP will play a more prominent role in the infrastructure of global finance , connecting traditional reserves with tokenized value.
