Gold has been a widely recognized store of value and medium of exchange throughout human history. Its safe-haven status makes it an attractive investment during turbulent times, serving as a hedge against inflation and depreciating currencies. Central banks hold the largest gold reserves, often diversifying their assets to support their currencies in uncertain times.
