#TrumpTariffs Putin just shook the global stage at BRICS 2025 — and Trump instantly escalated the tension.**
Speaking in Rio, Putin boldly stated: *“Globalization is over. It’s time to trade in local currencies.”* That’s a direct shot at the U.S. dollar. Russia’s already conducting 90% of its BRICS trade without using USD — and now they're building a SWIFT alternative called **“BRICS Clear.”**
Trump didn’t hold back. He fired back with a warning: any nation backing this anti-dollar campaign should brace for a **10% tariff** — and with Trump, that could easily jump to **100%**.
**But here’s where crypto comes in.**
This isn’t just geopolitics. The global move toward **de-dollarization** is flashing serious signals for **stablecoins, CBDCs**, and **decentralized payment networks**. As old financial systems fragment, **Web3 might emerge as the neutral platform for global commerce.**
This isn’t speculation — it’s a live transformation in global financial dynamics.
**So what do you think?**
Is BRICS actually capable of challenging the dollar’s reign? Or is the greenback about to fight back even harder?
