$ US Dollar
The dollar is the reference against which the rest of this set is measured. It settles the largest share of cross-border trade, it is the easiest of the seven to obtain and hold, and its market absorbs size without moving. What it cannot do is diversify you: a portfolio already denominated in dollars gains almost nothing in FX terms by holding more of them, which is why its diversification axis sits at 38 while everything else sits high.

Aurelian Clearing House
goldUSD/CENT
A deposit claim rather than a reserve claim — stronger disclosure, and exposure to a balance sheet rather than to a pool.

Kestrel Digital Trust
goldUSD/CENT
Dollar exposure held through a trust structure, aimed at holders whose other positions sit in the Pacific.

Meridian Reserve
goldUSD/CENT
Five currencies weighted toward the dollar. The broadest exposure here, and the one that dilutes any single currency's character most.

Kestrel Digital Trust
silverSGD/CENT
The Asian and Pacific set in one instrument. The Australian sleeve is what makes it more variable than its Singapore component alone.

Solveig Reserve
copperCHF/CENT
The three most defensive currencies in the catalogue, plus a dollar sleeve. Diversification without taking on cyclicality.
