Despite the threats of Donald Trump against countries turning their back on the dollar, the BRICS does not retreat. Their strategy intensifies. True to gold, they now also take the turn of cryptocurrencies and digital assets. Their objective is clear: to expand payment tools to strengthen their economic independence from the United States.
Russia places digital assets at the heart of the independence of the BRICS
For Anton Silouanov, the priority is clear: to build a Autonomous financial architecture for the BRICSaway from Western structures. The Russian Minister of Finance wants to end the dependence on the Swift system. It offers a solution based on national currencies and digital assets, a movement supported by the BRICS ambitions.
An independent system based on digital instruments is necessary for the commercial development of the BRICS.
He defends the creation of a network of cross -border payments that bypass Western barriers.
According to him, this infrastructure must allow strengthen exchanges between members of the block. The message is unambiguous: Bitcoin or other digital assets could contribute to this mutation, but in a form adapted to their sovereign standards.
The Russian will is part of a common project. The BRICS, bringing together emerging powers, want to emancipate from a finance dominated by the dollar. The idea ofA decentralized or multi -pointed exchange system Then becomes central. Especially since the sanctions against Moscow accelerated this awareness.
Why continue to play with the rules of a system controlled by its opponents?
Bitcoin and cryptos: Russia advances in counted, but strategic
On bitcoin and cryptocurrencies,In Russia advances with caution, but determination. After years of distrust, Moscow adapts its posture. Since 2024, several signals have been betraying a targeted opening to these instruments. The Russian state has recognized the interest ofUse certain digital assets for international regulations.
A regulatory framework is emerging. He targets them Transfronner transactions in digital active ingredients. The objective? Create alternative payment corridors to Western banks.
Another key initiative: experimenting with a digital gold system. By associating the stability of yellow metal To the speed of digital technologies, Russia seeks to develop a transaction tool outside the radar in the United States.
A Russian MP says these assets ” could replace Fiat currencies in certain exchanges ». These words illustrate a deep change in the perception of cryptos, now seen as a geopolitical lever.
And as a massively relayed tweet indicates:
Russia understood that to exist outside the dollar, you have to create its own rails.
Hence this subtle combination between bitcoin, gold and regulatory innovations.
But can this hybrid strategy actually extend to all the partners of the BRICS?
Can BRICS resist American pressure?
Faced with this dynamic, Donald Trump's reaction is predictable : threats, sanctions, accusations of economic sabotage. He said he wanted to punish ” Any country turning their backs on the dollar ». However, the BRICS continue on their way.
Their strength lies in their diversity. Russia relies on digital gold, China develops its Digital Yuan, India is experimenting with central bank currencies. Together, they build a parallel ecosystem.
But the question remains open: can this diversity of approaches form a united front? And above all, can American hegemony really be disputed without provoking major diplomatic frictions? Can Trump really stop dedollarization?
Some analysts believe that the United States has lost its monetary monopoly since Saudi Arabia itself diversifies its payments. Others recall that as long as the dollar remains the dominant motto in world exchanges, any attempt at dedollarization remains fragile.
However, a trend is anchored. The BRICS no longer seek the authorization of Washington. They each build a credible alternative at their own pace. And in this construction, digital active ingredients, whether crypto or stable -leafed to gold, play a growing role.
The BRICS want to emancipate from the dollar
- Russia tests a digital gold to bypass Swift;
- An alternative payment network is built in silence;
- Bitcoin remains under surveillance but gain in credibility;
- The arsenal of the BRICS combines tradition (gold) and modernity (crypto).
So, will Trump really stop this dynamic?
The bet of the BRICS on gold seems to bear fruit. The yellow metal is tutuating historical records, consolidating a discreet but effective strategy. Associated with the growing use of digital assets, this turn may well redesign the world monetary order.
