#ShockingCrypto 🚨
Russia’s financial position is looking far weaker than many expected. New disclosures in Russian media reveal that nearly three-quarters of the country’s gold reserves held in the National Wealth Fund have been sold off over the past three years — a dramatic drawdown that raises serious red flags for the economy. 🇷🇺💰
Back in May 2022, the National Wealth Fund held 554.9 tons of gold. As of January 1, 2026, that figure has plunged to just 160.2 tons, meaning around 71% of the gold has been liquidated. What remains is reportedly parked in anonymous accounts at the Central Bank, adding another layer of uncertainty. 😳
Today, the fund’s total liquid assets — mainly yuan and gold — stand at about 4.1 trillion rubles. Analysts warn that if oil prices and the ruble remain at current levels, Russia could be forced to withdraw another 60% of what’s left this year, roughly 2.5 trillion rubles, leaving reserves dangerously thin.
This isn’t just a technical balance-sheet issue. A shrinking National Wealth Fund weakens Russia’s financial safety net, limiting its ability to support infrastructure projects, social spending, and long-term state obligations — and potentially straining broader government operations.
The key question now is unavoidable: how long can Moscow continue spending at this pace before its reserves are exhausted? ⚠️💥
