Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

The FCA is drafting rules on whether tokenized gold can be posted as collateral for OTC derivatives, since 70% of world gold trades through London and tokenization enables people to trade gold easily. The Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed since February, oil is above $100, and central banks bought a record 289 tonnes of gold last quarter. Reserve managers are rotating into assets that don't depend on politically exposed dollar payment rails.
