Member nations now handle roughly 25% of their mutual trade using local currencies – a 2025 milestone that chips away at dollar dependence without killing it off entirely. BRICS pursues a de-dollarization strategy built on expanding local currency trade, creating alternative payment systems, and boosting financial autonomy. The bloc isn’t ditching the dollar, just building workarounds. Right now, countries develop parallel infrastructure using several key approaches, opening various major pathways that let them skip dollar-based networks even as the greenback stays on top of global finance.

Source: Pixabay Ripple (XRP) current price pace is being dubbed as slow, and rightly so, as its price is exploiting its lowest levels as of late. However, these new low levels are also playing a crucial role in weeding out impatient sellers, the ones who are in it for the shorter haul. This will allow the XRP price to recover and heavily reduce the selling pressure and leave dedicated investors behind to back the cryptocurrency.

According to the latest data from TradingView, Shiba Inu is down close to 38% year-to-date. It is among the least-performing cryptocurrencies in the market as its price is only heading south. If YTD was bad enough, SHIB’s four-year price trajectory is even worse. Though it experienced several dramatic upticks over the past four years, the price reversal has eroded investors’ wealth. Long-term Shiba Inu holders have been penalized the most, and only short-term investors have made profits. The development indicates the risk of holding long-term on meme currencies.

UK Digital ID CBDC infrastructure is being built right now, and the timing actually raises some questions about financial control. Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed back in September 2025 that digital identity cards will become mandatory for Right to Work checks by 2029. The government’s official press release states: A new digital ID scheme will help combat illegal working while making it easier for the vast majority of people to use vital government services. Digital ID will be mandatory for Right to Work checks by the end of the Parliament. At the same time, the Bank of England continues testing its digital pound—a CBDC programmable money system that enables transaction controls. When you combine this with carbon credit score tracking already appearing on UK products, the BritCard surveillance state infrastructure starts resembling China social credit UK models. Digital ID, CBCD, and Carbon Scores: The UK’s Path to China’s Social Credit? Keir Starmer announcing ...

The 11-member BRICS bloc is looking at further expansion in 2026, confirmed Russian Deputy Foreign Minister and Sherpa Sergey Ryabkov. The topic will be discussed at the 18th summit in India’s New Delhi this year. Russia is keen on expansion, while other countries are yet to agree to the terms. “There will be expansion; no one opposes this,” said Sergey on BRICS. He added that admitting new countries will only benefit the alliance, making it financially stronger. It also leads to newer trade deals tailored to the bloc’s needs, helping both parties. It would lead to several trade deals in local currencies, giving the US dollar a miss. This helps their native economies and strengthens their GDP. He stressed that expansion will lead to a newer BRICS, empowering many more countries. “In this case, BRICS will only benefit from the expansion, from admitting new members,” the senior Russian diplomat noted. Russia and China are mostly interested in the indu...

The 11-member alliance is seeking to carve out a new path in the global financial system with the launch of a BRICS Pay system. The proposed cross-border mechanism aims to reduce the US dollar’s dependency and promote the local currencies of member nations. While the ambition is big, the execution could face hiccups due to the diverse structure of the bloc. What Does BRICS Pay Aim To Do? Source: dailynewsegypt.com The alliance envisioned BRICS Pay to be a standalone payment mechanism, similar to the West-dominated SWIFT system. SWIFT is only a messaging system, and settlement is backed by global banks and dollar liquidity. The goal is to facilitate trade in local currencies, usher the world into the multipolar financial era, and insulate itself against tariffs and sanctions from the US and the West. Ending reliance on the US dollar is also the main pillar of the payment system. Also Read: Gold Rally At Risk as One Country’s Move Shakes BRICS Plans Here Are the Challenges It is Goi...
