Crypto Adoption On The Rise<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The number of economies embracing digital monies such as cryptocurrencies has been increasing because it can be used to bypass traditional banking systems.<\/p>\n

Others are also adopting the so-called Central Bank Digital Currencies<\/a> (CBDCs), the digital versions of their nation\u2019s currency. CBDCs are usually issued and regulated by their central bank.<\/p>\n

Two BRICS member countries, Russia and China, have already explored the use of digital currencies.<\/p>\n

Russia announced that it will start pilot testing its digital rouble in July next year. Under the pilot implementation, selected individuals and companies will participate in the experimental trial wherein they will make purchases using digital roubles.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, China has made significant progress in this area through its Digital Currency Electronic Payment (DCEP). DCEP, also known as e-CNY, is a digital money initiated by the Chinese government and is currently operated by the Central Bank of China. It is China\u2019s response to the public\u2019s clamor for a modern payment solution.<\/p>\n

At the end of 2021, about 261 million individual wallets were opened through the initiative and transactions worth 87.565 billion Chinese yuan were conducted.<\/p>\n

BRICS Pay Launched<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Aside from digital currencies, BRICS presented a new payment platform that will challenge the SWIFT financial system.<\/p>\n

Member nations officially unveiled BRICS Pay, which is considered a milestone in revolutionizing financial transactions among the BRICS members. The blockchain platform would streamline cross-border transactions within the bloc, serving as an alternative to SWIFT and evading US sanctions.<\/p>\n

Moreover, BRICS Pay reflects the aspirations of its bloc members to establish a self-reliant economic framework that is free from the control of traditional power structures.<\/p>\n
