The Golden Age Returns: Basel III Elevates Gold to Top-Tier Banking Asset

Starting July 1, 2025, Basel III banking regulations will officially recognize gold as a Tier 1, high-quality liquid asset, allowing US banks to count physical gold at full market value toward their core capital reserves. This marks a significant upgrade from its previous classification as a Tier 3 asset valued at only 50%.

The change validates the author’s long-held position that gold is true money and a strategic asset for modern investors. Central banks have already embraced this perspective, adding 244 metric tons to their reserves in Q1 2025—24% above the five-year quarterly average.

This continues a trend that began after the 2008 financial crisis and accelerated following gold’s initial reclassification under Basel III in 2019. A record 30% of central banks now plan to increase their gold holdings in the coming year.

Why Gold Why Now?

Written by: The MacroButler Harry Browne’s Permanent Portfolio is basically a four-course financial meal: stocks for the inflationary sugar rush, bonds for the deflationary nap, gold for the inflationary hangover, and cash for when everything else goes sideways. The genius lies in its balance—no matter what the economy cooks up, at least one dish is always edible. Layer in Schumpeter’s business cycle, and you’ve got a cheat sheet for knowing which plate to pile higher. The trick, of course, is figuring out which course the economy is currently serving—easier said than done. If Harry Browne’s Permanent Portfolio is the financial

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
