Taxtotech Readers — The Global Financial Chessboard Is Shifting
Welcome back to Taxtotech.com, Taxtotech Readers! As military conflicts escalate worldwide, a silent but fierce war unfolds behind closed doors: the global currency battle.
In 2025, China, Russia, and BRICS nations (Brazil, India, South Africa, etc.) have openly challenged the US dollar’s global dominance, proposing alternative digital currencies, gold-backed trades, and bilateral agreements that could reshape global trade.
Let’s dissect this financial war, its tech drivers, and who stands to gain—or lose.
The Rise of BRICS Alternative Currency Proposals
At the BRICS+ Economic Summit 2025 in Shanghai, major announcements sent shockwaves through the financial world:
- Launch of BRICS Trade Settlement System (BTSS) bypassing SWIFT
- Pilot trials of BRICS Digital Currency (BDC) for cross-border payments
- New oil-for-yuan contracts between China, Russia, and Iran
Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov boldly stated:
“The unipolar dollar era is ending. Multipolar trade demands multipolar currency systems.”
