ATTENTION CRYPTO! BRICS LAUNCHES GOLD-BACKED CBDC: NEW RIVAL FOR BITCOIN?
What's happening?
Financial earthquake! The BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) have just launched their common gold-backed CBDC ("BRICS-Gold"). This digital currency aims to compete with the dollar and is already integrated with exchanges like Binance and Coinbase.
Immediate impact:
- Bitcoin rises 12% ($85,000), seen as "digital gold" amid global inflation.
- $XAU (gold token on blockchain) skyrockets 30%.
- Payment altcoins like $XRP y $ALGO drop due to fears of cross-regulations.
Why is it IMPORTANT?
Mass adoption: 3.2 billion people can use BRICS-Gold.
Physical backing: 1 CBDC = 0.1 grams of gold (stored in vaults in Russia and China).
Crypto-friendly: It will allow direct conversion to $BTC , $ETH y stablecoins.
Key voices:
- CEO of Binance: "This brings CBDCs closer to the crypto ecosystem; it is not a threat, but a gateway."
- Elon Musk: "BRICS-Gold vs. Dogecoin? The battle will be epic 🐕".
How to TAKE ADVANTAGE of this trend?
Invest in "digital gold": Bitcoin ($BTC) and precious metals tokens ($XAU, $PAXG).
Watch out for DeFi projects: Platforms like $AAVE already allow staking of BRICS-Gold.
Beware of regional CBDCs: Europe and the U.S. could respond with aggressive regulations.
