India & the UAE just made history by settling a crude oil deal without using the US dollar — they chose #XRP instead. 🛢💸
Payment was made in local currencies, but the transaction ran through the XRP Ledger System (XRPL) — and users were even rewarded with CryptoTradingFund (CTF) tokens as cashback! 💰🚀
🌍 The BRICS nations, now including the UAE after its 2024 expansion, are going full throttle on de-dollarization.
Why? Simple: economic independence. The dominance of the USD is being questioned due to geopolitical tensions & sanctions.
💥 Ripple is serious about building the future — it’s partnered with the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) to empower developers via the DIFC Innovation Hub, the largest innovation community in the region with 1,000+ startups, labs, VCs, regulators, and educators.
💸 And Ripple’s putting serious funds behind it — committing 1 billion $XRP to grow new use cases on the XRPL.
📈 XRP: 2.2814 (+1.51%)
🧠 How far with de-dollarization?
The USD has ruled global finance for decades — but that’s changing.
Nations like Russia & Iran have faced sanctions, prompting others to diversify.
🇷🇺 Putin called de-dollarization “irreversible.”
🇧🇷 Lula da Silva questions why the dollar is even needed in trade.
The BRICS bloc is pushing to use local currencies, and even talking about launching a shared BRICS currency.
Sure, that’s easier said than done — economic gaps between BRICS nations are wide — but the momentum is real. ⚡
💬 Is the dollar’s dominance ending? Or just evolving?
