Editor’s note: This is not the first time Putin has said that dollar’s status as the world reserve currency is being eroded (and that America’s own weaponization of it was to blame). It is also not the first time he has communicated this is something that Moscow would welcome.

Of course, Putin is not the first (and won’t be the last) to suggest the end is nigh for the dollar…
The World Bank’s former chief economist wants to replace the US dollar with a single global super-currency, saying it will create a more stable global financial system.
Warren Buffett once explained that “for 240 years it’s been a terrible mistake to bet against America, and now is no time to start.”“The dominance of the greenback is the root cause of global financial and economic crises,” Justin Yifu Lin told Bruegel, a Brussels-based policy-research think tank. “The solution to this is to replace the national currency with a global currency.”
We don’t mean to rain on his parade too much, but the following charts suggest time is ticking, as the world transitions from dollars to non-fiat reserves…
