Jim Rickards: The real THREAT that could trigger a GLOBAL CRISIS

In this special episode, Jim Rickards shares with Alexej Jordanov some of his most urgent warnings yet. We dive into the hidden systemic risks building inside the stablecoin market, why Tether could trigger a global liquidity freeze, and how a run on Treasury bills could ignite a full-scale monetary crisis.

Rickards also breaks down the real purpose behind the Mar-A-Lago Accord, the weaponization of finance, Russia’s gold strategy, and why both gold and silver may be entering a historic repricing cycle. This conversation connects the dots between geopolitics, the derivatives market, the Treasury system, and the future of the dollar.
