Gold’s Tier 1 Rise: The Most Underrated Shift in Modern Finance | The Gold Spot

The latest gold rally has been fueled by more than just economic fear; it reflects a major shift in how the metal is viewed by the global financial system. While retail investors still rely on familiar narratives like inflation hedging, central banks and major institutions are embracing gold as an official part of modern banking.

This shift gained momentum when gold was formally recognized as Tier 1 collateral, meaning it can now be used like cash or government bonds to meet capital and liquidity requirements. This marks a turning point in gold’s role, elevating it from a speculative commodity to a core financial asset.

The road to this status was long, with key regulatory changes from Base lII in the 2010s through global implementation in 2022. Despite rising prices, experts argue gold is far from overbought, especially given growing institutional demand.

With this structural shift, the metal’s next leg up may just be getting started. In this week’s The Gold Spot, Scottsdale Bullion & Coin Precious Metals Advisors Todd Graf and Brian Conneely explain gold's new position in the global banking sector and how that impacts the gold price ceiling.
