Trump vs. BRICS: The New Economic War. During the BRICS summit held in Rio de Janeiro in July 2025, US President Donald Trump launched a series of economic threats against the countries of the bloc. He stated that any nation that aligns with the "anti-American policies" of the BRICS will be penalized with import tariffs of up to 50%. 💣 Reason for the tension: - The BRICS has been discussing alternatives to the dollar as a global reference currency. - There are rumors and initiatives about the creation of a digital currency of the BRICS, which Trump sees as a direct threat to the hegemony of the dollar. --- 💰 Cryptocurrencies at the center of the debate Although BRICS leaders warn about the use of cryptocurrencies in financial crimes, the context reveals something bigger: the bloc's growing interest in decentralized financial technologies. ✨ Opportunities for the crypto sector: - US hostility may accelerate the adoption of cryptocurrencies as an alternative to the traditional financial system. - BRICS countries, such as China, Russia and Brazil, already exploit international payments in local currencies and cryptoassets. - De-dollarization can boost the use of stablecoins backed by gold or local currencies, or even a BRICS digital currency. #zapathon #nostr #asknostr #bitcoin #cryptocycle #introductions
