US dollar use in global reserves dropped from 73% in 2001 to 54% now.
Three things have triggered this:
- The collapse of the US as a viable economy with massive and growing debt (the intent of Net Zero)
- The theft of sovereign assets by the dollar banking system which has done more than anything else to trigger the loss of confidence in dollar banking
- The rise of Brics, which might look aggressive, but in reality, given the state of the dollar it should have happened a long time ago. The world is sick and tired of funding the US economy by the mafia-style forced use of the dollar.
At the moment BRICS has 11 members and 22 applying, covering 47% of world population. There is no doubt that number will increase and that Brics is heading to overtake the western financial systems … which seem incapable of understanding the new low-cost reality, and instead they keep profiteering in the belief that the US army will regime anyone who tries to change that situation of excess profits in the US.
The reality is that other payment systems like gold are taking over. For obvious reasons those trading gold want to highlight the PAST increase in value of gold, but gold is not the only way to settle international debts.
Countries have built gold vaults and payment networks to trade without US dollars. But gold has been important. India added 73 tons in 2024 and brought 100 tons home from UK. Gold price hit $4,000+ in October 2025, up 46% this year.
However by far the most important change is the settlement of debt in currencies other than the dollar. Now Russia-China trade is 90% in their own currencies.
However there is a move for a direct replacement for the dollar. The “Unit” currency will be 60% by local money, 40% backed by gold, said New Development Bank President Dilma Rousseff. Full system ready by 2030, test runs maybe in 2026.
Why 2030?
Because that is when the west is due to commit economic suicide through Nut Zero.
