🚨 Is Trump about to execute the ultimate "Art of the Deal" using Putin's frozen billions?
The latest political move is insane. Vladimir Putin is reportedly considering a $1 BILLION offer from Russian frozen assets in the U.S. as a fee for joining Trump’s new "Council of Peace." What was originally meant to punish Russia is suddenly being offered as a price for membership in a major diplomatic experiment. It is now tied to Trump's heavy push for peace in Gaza and a new global peace council. Trump called Putin's proposal "very interesting" and signaled openness to it, even as details are still being ironed out.
Supporters argue that it’s genius: turning sanctions into dynamic bargaining chips where leaders have a real interest. Critics warn that it undermines the whole purpose of sanctions and could create a dangerous precedent where frozen sovereign assets can be politically reshaped.
What is now important:
De-Dollarization & Global Impact of Reserves
If frozen assets — long used as a tool of punishment — can be reshaped into political bargaining chips, countries like China or Saudi Arabia may reconsider holding trillions in U.S. Treasury bonds. This is direct pressure towards gold and bitcoin as alternatives to traditional dollar-based reserves.
Signals from the Bond Market
Frozen assets are often held in government bonds. If a movement of $1B or more begins, markets will closely monitor the yield on the 10-year Treasury note. An increase could indicate that traders are valuing structural changes in global finance.
Peace vs. Precedent
Is this a historic breakthrough for peace diplomacy — or a geopolitical risk that undermines the credibility of sanctions and shakes financial norms?
