BRICS member Russia announced the creation of a new blockchain-based payment system on March 5th. The blockchain and cryptocy-based payment mechanism will be an independent system for trade settlements.
The new BRICS payment system will position itself as an alternative option to the US dollar. The payment system aims to be friendly to governments, businesses, and even common citizens. Therefore, if the system becomes a success, a variety of hierarchies from governments to the average man could benefit immensely.
Russian diplomat Yuri Ushakov confirmed that the new BRICS payment mechanism will boast state-of-the-art technology that will incorporate digital assets and cryptocurrencies on the blockchain. BRICS could take on the US dollar with the payment system allowing member nations and other developing countries to settle cross-border transactions in the new mechanism.
The development will add pressure on the US dollar making its supply and demand dip in the global market.
