The dollar is not dying. The data says it is being challenged differently. Every quarter brings another “dollar is over” headline. The most recent IMF COFER release tells a more nuanced story. In Q2 2025, the dollar’s share of allocated global foreign exchange reserves fell to 56.32 percent. A measurable decline. Not a collapse. The interesting detail is what drove the move. According to the IMF, roughly 92 percent of the quarter’s drop came from exchange-rate effects, not central bank portfolio decisions. Adjusted for constant exchange rates, the dollar’s share edged down only 0.12 percent. Central banks barely changed their actual holdings. The structural story is real but slower than the headlines suggest. On SWIFT, the dollar accounted for 50.49 percent of global payment value in December 2025, according to the SWIFT Global Currency Tracker. It remains the single most active currency on the network by a wide margin. The yuan, the most-cited “challenger,” sat at 2.73 percent the same month, in sixth place. What is replacing dollars at the margin is also not what the headlines claim. It is not the euro. The euro share has held roughly flat for fifteen years. The yuan’s share of allocated reserves also remains below 3 percent in the same COFER release. China’s CIPS payment system has grown, but neither metric is moving fast. The diversification is happening into a basket of non-traditional currencies. Canadian, Australian, Singapore dollars, Korean won, and gold. For executives, the implication is operational. The dollar will remain the dominant invoicing and reserve currency for the foreseeable future. The slope of reserve diversification is steady, and it shapes the long-run cost of dollar funding for everyone outside the United States. The companies that adjust quietly on reserve mix, invoicing convention, and FX hedge tenors reach the next decade with their optionality intact. At Anchora, we work with executives whose capital plans depend on reading the dollar story without overreacting to the headlines. If that is the work you are doing, reach out and I will make time to talk. #Dollar #FXReserves #InternationalFinance Visual source: https://data.imf.org/en/datasets/IMF.STA:COFER
