China's gold reserves have grown for six straight months since December, the first time the country increased its holdings of the precious metal in more than two years. Russia has made similar moves, slashing its dollar-denominated assets while purchasing gold as essentially a borderless currency.

I know it's crazy but I have to ask - with countries seeking more neutral currencies, could it be fathomable that adoption of digital currencies would grow as well?
