The concept of a BRICS gold-backed cryptocurrency is gaining traction, with significant implications for the global financial system. Prominent financial author Robert Kiyosaki has warned that if this initiative materializes, it could lead to hyperinflation in the United States by causing trillions of fiat US dollars to return home. The proposed BRICS currency, referred to as The Unit, aims to be backed by gold and the currencies of BRICS nations, feature a distributed ledger system, and avoid being weaponized. Blessed by the UN, an announcement regarding this initiative is expected in Russia in October 2024, potentially marking a major shift towards a decentralized monetary ecosystem.
