⚡️ SHOCKING UPDATE

Russia Starts Cashing In Its Gold Reserves

🧾 Russia’s Central Bank has crossed a major line it avoided for years: for the first time, it’s selling physical gold from its official reserves to help fund the state budget.

🔍 Why this is important:

• Gold transactions inside Russia have picked up as liquidity in the local market has increased.

• The government is now tapping both yuan and gold from its National Wealth Fund (NWF) to plug budget gaps.

• Russia still holds a huge stash of gold more than 2,300 tons in total.

• These moves come while most of Russia’s assets in Western currencies remain frozen due to sanctions.

📉 What it could mean:

This strategy could help support the ruble and give Moscow a new way to manage its budget deficit.

🔥 Bottom line: Russia isn’t just stockpiling gold anymore it’s converting part of its reserves into cash to strengthen its finances, which might change how the world views the safety and purpose of its gold holdings.
