BRICS Expansion Ahead of 2025 Summit: Two New Nations Queue Up to Challenge Dollar Dominance

The BRICS bloc—already a thorn in the West’s financial side—just got more intriguing. Two unnamed countries have formally applied to join the economic alliance before its 2025 summit, signaling another power play against traditional monetary hegemony.

Who’s knocking at the door? Speculation runs wild—but one thing’s clear: every new member weakens the USD’s grip. Gold-backed currencies and de-dollarization chatter will spike (alongside the usual IMF eye-rolling).

Timing is everything. With the summit months away, expect backroom deals and ’strategic partnerships’ that somehow always involve oil or lithium. Another win for geopolitical chess—and another headache for SWIFT loyalists.

2 New Countries Apply to Join BRICS Alliance Ahead of 2025 Summit

The Republic of Congo and Thailand have formally submitted their applications to join the BRICS alliance before the 2025 summit. Thailand is seeking Russia’s support to push its application to become a full-time member of the bloc. Russia and Thailand’s Foreign Ministers Sergey Lavrov and Maris Sangiampongsa held a meeting on April 28 to discuss the prospects.

A total of 47 countries are now expressing their interest in joining the BRICS alliance ahead of the 2025 summit.
