“The power is not in one ring, but in that one knows what to exchange it for.”
- we will continue quoting from a well -known book)
in previous articles I already wrote about how gold and audit are returned to the core of the financial system, and digital currencies and wealthy emission become a new norm. Now this equation is added to another alternating that most analysts so far miss: rare -earth metals (REE).
many inertia perceive rare -bs as raw materials - necessary for electronics, batteries, satellites, weapons systems. But today they begin to play a completely different role. They become a potential digital asset, a strategic reserve, and, possibly, the future provision of digital currencies and tokens for the emission. This is not so much about prey as the legal control over the field, which allows you to take into account these resources in the balance sheet and turn them the basis of the new financial model.
Raremits: metal of the 21st century
in order to understand why REE is a new “gold”, you need to look at their role in the economy. Unlike precious metals, they are vital for technologies that determine the future:
neophye, praiseum, imbalances are critical for magnets in electric cars;
European and terbies - in lasers, displays and optics;
items, scandiums - in missile, satellites, satellites, satellites, satellites sensors.
According to U.S. Geeological Survey (2024), the world demand for REE has doubled over the past 10 years and reached 180,000 tons per year, and the forecast for 2030 - up to 250,000 tons. This is a strategic deficit. That is why the United States is actively looking for alternative sources - and interest in Greenland and Ukraine becomes clear. After all, control over the REE deposit is not just a resource, but a financial lever of the future.
from raw materials to support: Rares as a digital key
Many people wonder: "How can a raw material asset become financial?" The answer lies in the right of ownership and legal fixation of support. If the state or company controls the strategic deposit - whether in Greenland, Africa or Eastern Ukraine - it can:
take into account the asset as part of the balance (according to the international accounting reporting, such assets can be capitalized, especially with the confirmed volume of the extracted reserves). or tons of rare -zems (an analogue of gold stabelcoin).
to fix the asset as providing for digital emission - using it as a basic base.
This approach is already being rolled up: for example, the Australian Ree Minerals
