CNY payments rise 22 percent in 3q26

CNY international payments through CIPS jumped 22% quarter-over-quarter in 3q26, reaching ¥61 trillion, or approximately $9 trillion, during the quarter.

Luke Gromen, founder, president, macroeconomic analyst, and investor at FFTT, LLC (Forest for the Trees), reported the figures and referenced Angell Paradox's prediction that greater U.S. weaponization of the USD system leads to faster growth in CNY payments.

Gromen has previously pointed to market warnings, including his observation that recent gold price action may indicate major difficulties ahead. He also noted that stocks underperformed gold whenever the Buffett metric adjusted for federal debt hit 100 percent. These comments reflect Gromen’s ongoing focus on financial system signals.
