BRICS Pay: The End of the Dollar Stablecoin Era?
The merging of concepts like BRICS Pay and stablecoins indeed creates a scenario of profound changes in the financial market. The idea of BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and others) coming together to create an alternative payment system to the dollar is a strategic move that could shake the dominance of dollar-pegged stablecoins.
The answer is yes, but not all. BRICS Pay was designed to reduce dependence on the dollar in trade transactions. Therefore, stablecoins that use the dollar as collateral will be directly harmed.
To facilitate trade among themselves, BRICS countries could create and adopt their own stablecoins, backed by their local currencies (such as China's digital yuan) or a basket of currencies from the bloc.
This would result in a loss of market and relevance for dollar-backed stablecoins, which currently dominate the landscape.
Will BRICS Pay weaken stablecoins?
The initiative of BRICS countries to create their own payment system, BRICS Pay, threatens the dollar's dominance in global transactions and, consequently, that of the stablecoins tied to it.
This change could weaken dollar-backed stablecoins in three ways:
1° * Decreased demand: As trade among BRICS countries grows and uses local currencies or new stablecoins from the bloc, the need for dollar stablecoins diminishes.
2° * Loss of relevance: BRICS Pay could become the primary platform for international transactions, undermining the role of dollar stablecoins as a bridge between different currencies.
3° * Encouragement of competition: The creation of an alternative financial ecosystem stimulates the development and adoption of new stablecoins based on other currencies, fragmenting the market and challenging the hegemony of dollar stablecoins.
