rafidainscope - A senior Russian banking official clarified that abandoning the dollar in international payments does not entirely resolve the issue, noting that switching to other currencies does not mean escaping reliance on externally controlled financial infrastructure. He explained that
stablecoins, mostly pegged to the dollar, offer temporary solutions but maintain ties to the US system. The official predicted a global shift toward creating independent national and regional payment systems, especially as traditional platforms lose their political neutrality. He highlighted
the efforts of several countries to develop alternative payment mechanisms using digital assets and national currencies to ensure financial sovereignty. Furthermore, he pointed out that the African market represents a promising environment for expanding these new, independent financial systems.
