India Rejects BRICS Dedollarization Push, Opts for Monetary Stability
India has unequivocally rejected calls for dedollarization spearheaded by fellow BRICS nations, marking a strategic divergence in the bloc’s economic agenda. While Russia and China aggressively promote alternatives to the USD-dominated financial system, New Delhi cites stability as its paramount concern.
The decision arrives amid escalating Western sanctions that have spurred de-dollarization experiments globally. India’s stance weakens collective BRICS momentum toward challenging dollar hegemony, potentially slowing adoption of cryptocurrency-based settlement systems favored by anti-dollar factions.
This development may temporarily dampen bullish sentiment for dollar-alternative crypto assets like XRP and ADA, which some speculators had positioned as BRICS settlement vehicles. However, sustained USD skepticism from other emerging markets could fuel long-term demand for decentralized financial infrastructure.
