BRICS countries India and Brazil have vowed to triple their trade flows with new partnerships in the short term. India and Brazil officially signed several deals this month, which include the trade of cotton, chicken, and other food items.

Brazil and India’s upcoming partnerships will come when Trump is openly threatening BRICS countries against anti-American policies.

Image
Throughout the first five months of the year, the digital asset sector has become a clear focus of financial revolution. This has been massively important for the United States as its global reserve currency sits at a crossroads. Now, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has suggested that rising US debt will eventually cause Bitcoin to overtake the US dollar. Bitcoin has become a priority for the US, with the country set to establish its very first federal strategic reserve. Yet, it has also become a clear hedge for a struggling greenback.

BRICS Divided on US Dollar Replacement

Image
The BRICS alliance is divided on the idea of replacing the US dollar with local currencies for trade and transactions. Countries such as India, Brazil, South Africa, and the UAE are slowly going soft on the idea of de-dollarization.
