Seems like a source that one should not generally take seriously (Tipranks) being syndicated by a source associated with an important name (Nasdaq) as part of a larger wave of articles about how some "pact", "treaty", or "contract" ended on a specific day.
Having done a little more digging, I could find lots and lots of pieces about this topic, but I could not even one coming from a recognizable journalistic source. (Far from the top of search results was a piece that seemed to have some value: it noted the wave of coverage of the purported end of this pact despite the fact that no such pact existed. It also identified a possible connection between pushing this story, which makes the dollar sound endangered, and attempting to promote cryptocurrency.)
Lots of HN commenters taking this at face value. To me, the overall situation looks like an object lesson in basic critical media literacy.
