Andy Schectman reports that the December delivery month opened with extremely heavy physical demand on COMEX, including about 2.4 million ounces of gold and more than 40 million ounces of silver standing for delivery in just two days. He argues that trust in Western price discovery is breaking down, pointing to outages at the CME that halted metals trading precisely as silver attempted a record monthly close. Schectman believes the physical market in Asia will ultimately replace Western derivatives exchanges as the real arbiter of price. He warns that the new stablecoin framework in the United States functions like a central bank digital currency with full transactional surveillance and no ability for holders to capture the interest generated on the Treasury assets backing those coins. Schectman says gold and silver remain the only meaningful opt out in a future cashless system, especially as states experiment with digital gold payment rails that preserve physical backing.
