“There’s a mad rush for physical gold… even the U.S. is bringing it back in. It tells you that they’re preparing for something,” warns billionaire philanthropist Frank Giustra in a must-watch video. He sits down with Daniela Cambone to discuss how the global financial order is shifting, with gold returning to a central monetary role.

As the U.S. prepares to adopt gold as a Tier 1 asset under Basel III regulations on July 1 of this year, Giustra says he sees a monetary reset coming and that “gold in one form or another is going to play a role in a new global monetary system.”

For banks in particular, this change means they can increase the allocation of gold holdings on their balance sheets, using it as collateral or capital counted at 100% of its value—just like cash or U.S. Treasuries. And this, according to Giustra, will trigger “incredible ramifications” to the existing financial system. On the recent power outage scenario in Spain and Portugal, where cash withdrawals were limited, Giustra calls it ‘a war on cash’ and warns it could ripple globally as central bank digital currencies take hold.

The Great Reset Is Closer Than You Think: Frank Giustra on Gold, Basel III, and the War on Cash

While mainstream media continues to downplay the risks, financial experts like Frank Giustra—global philanthropist, founder of Lionsgate, and CEO of the Fiore Group—are warning that a seismic shift is already underway. In a critical conversation with Daniela Cambone of ITM Trading, Giustra explains how upcoming policy changes, mounting economic pressure, and the rise of gold in global trade signal that a new monetary system is on the horizon.

If you’re concerned about your financial privacy, the strength of the U.S. dollar, or the safety of your retirement savings, now is the time to understand what’s really happening—and what you can do to prepare.

Gold Is Money Again—And Banks Know It

One of the most urgent revelations discussed is the full U.S. implementation of Basel III rules on July 1. Under this framework, gold is being reclassified from a “Tier 3” to a Tier 1 asset—equivalent to cash and U.S. Treasuries. This means that for the first time in modern American banking, gold will be recognized as true capital on balance sheets.

According to Giustra, U.S. banks have been quietly preparing for this shift for months, importing hundreds of tons of physical gold.

“It’s no coincidence,” Giustra says. “They know gold will be a critical collateral asset in the new system.”

This change confirms what many in the ITM Trading community have long believed: gold is not just a hedge. It is money—and it’s being reinserted into the global financial structure, quietly but powerfully.

De-Dollarization Is Real—and Accelerating

Giustra also addressed the weakening grip of the U.S. dollar on the world stage. With the rise of BRICS nations, countries are forming trade alliances that bypass the dollar altogether. China is leading this charge, promoting alternatives like the mBridge settlement system that uses local currencies and—critically—settles trade imbalances in physical gold.

“Gold is the only neutral, universally accepted monetary instrument,” Giustra said. “It’s what the world turns to when fiat systems begin to fray.”

As sanctions and tariff threats continue, more nations are moving toward currency diversification and gold-backed trade, signaling the end of dollar supremacy—and the beginning of a multipolar financial order.

Gold Prices Reflect Systemic Stress

With gold already up over 60% since Basel III’s early stages, Giustra believes this is no coincidence. It reflects growing global recognition that fiat money is failing. He warns that gold must climb dramatically higher—potentially even to $20,000 or more per ounce—to fulfill its new monetary role.

“Gold is the whistleblower of the financial system,” he explains. “The higher it goes, the more broken the system really is.”

For investors nearing retirement, this is a clear signal: waiting until the system breaks may be too late.

The War on Cash and the Rise of Central Bank Digital Currencies

Another concerning development is the global war on cash. Recent banking blackouts in Europe—where citizens couldn’t access ATMs—are a warning sign, according to Giustra.

“Cash will disappear. And with it, your privacy and control over your money,” he says. “Once everything is digital, governments can fine-tune your behavior, restrict what you can buy, and even seize your funds in a crisis.”

He likens this to the early stages of social credit systems, where non-compliance or dissent could result in financial penalties or restrictions. Physical gold, by contrast, is untraceable, unconfiscatable, and independent of power grids or internet access.

Bail-Ins and the Illusion of Bank Safety

Many Americans believe their deposits are safe, but Giustra reminds us that under U.S. law, banks now have the right to use depositors’ funds in the event of a crisis—a concept known as a “bail-in.”

“Your bank account is not really your money,” he warns. “It’s a loan to the bank.”

During economic collapse, your deposits could be frozen or seized. Physical gold, stored securely and outside of the banking system, offers true financial sovereignty.

There’s No Way Out Without Gold

As Giustra puts it, we are heading toward a “no way out reset.” Massive debt, currency devaluation, and social unrest are converging—and the time to prepare is now.

“You’re not going to get a bailout,” he says bluntly. “You are on your own.”

His advice? Diversify geographically and monetarily—and own physical gold.
