🗓️ May 20 2026 16:46 UTC - Alinnor Arinze
After the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in1971, when President Richard Nixon ended the gold standard – the dollar was no longer backed by gold. The United States needed another mechanism to reinforce global demand for its currency.

➤ The article discusses the declining dominance of the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency, largely due to the petrodollar system's weakening influence and geopolitical shifts.
➤ Central banks are increasingly diversifying reserves into gold and other currencies, driven by concerns over sanctions, currency risks, and inflation, with countries like India, Kazakhstan, China, Russia, and Nigeria increasing their gold holdings.
➤ Alternative payment systems and initiatives by blocs like BRICS are emerging to reduce dependence on Western financial institutions and the dollar, signaling a significant transformation in the global financial system.

📰 La subida del token HYPE no depende de los ETF, asegura Forbes
🗓️ May 24 2026 15:24 UTC - Alejandro Gil
El rally del precio del token de Hyperliquid, HYPE, no depende enteramente del desempeño de los ETF al contado, asegura un reporte.
➤ The rally of the HYPE token from Hyperliquid is driven by an internal automated buyback program funded by trading fees, rather than solely by institutional capital from ETFs.
➤ The protocol's Assistance Fund uses nearly all generated commissions to repurchase HYPE tokens, a mechanism coded into its blockchain, independent of external investor sentiment.
➤ While institutional inflows from ETFs are noted, they are significantly smaller than the protocol's internal buyback amounts, highlighting a potential risk tied to trading volume fluctuations.
