De-dollarization is real. It began to accelerate significantly in 2008, when US financial leaders chose to use unlimited quantitative easing (QE Infinity) to rescue banks and financial institutions facing collapse due to misguided bets, rather than allowing them to fail naturally. A useful indicator of global central banks' response to holding trillions of dollars in dollar-denominated assets is the proportion of gold in their foreign exchange reserves. A higher proportion of gold in reserves indicates lower trust in the US government.
