BRICS Nations Rally: Can Global Alliances Finally Dethrone the US Dollar?
The US dollar''s reign faces its fiercest challenge yet—BRICS and allies are mounting a coordinated assault on its dominance. Here''s how the financial coup unfolds.
The De-Dollarization Playbook
From oil trades settled in yuan to gold-backed crypto alternatives, the anti-dollar coalition isn''t just talking—they''re building infrastructure. Swift alternatives now handle 23% of cross-border transactions among member states.
Cryptocurrency''s Silent Coup

Five economies that can''t agree on tariffs are somehow aligning to topple history''s most stable currency. Wall Street''s response? A collective shrug—and another round of dollar-denominated debt issuance.
BRICS: Global Alliances Unite against the US Dollar, Says Nigerian Foreign Minister

Many other countries in Africa could join the bandwagon adding pressure on the prospects of the US dollar. The upcoming decade could be different from what we know of today as emerging economies are taking the driver’s seat.
