Russia & India Make Huge Announcement on BRICS Currency

BRICS members China and Russia are advancing to convince other developing countries to ditch the U.S. dollar for global trade. The two countries are extensively promoting the usage of the Chinese Yuan to settle cross-border transactions. They’ve been successful in their quest as India, Pakistan, France, and several other countries paid in the Chinese Yuan.

The BRICS alliance was looking to create a new currency to challenge the U.S. dollar’s global reserve status. The bloc took a U-turn a month ahead of the summit and announced that the formation of a new currency will not be discussed in August.

BRICS member India was the first to indicate this month that it would not take part in the currency formation. Russia’s Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina also spoke about the BRICS currency saying its launch is not feasible at the moment.

India and Russia have stepped back from the formation of the BRICS currency. India’s Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar said in a press conference early this month that the Modi government is focused on making the Rupee stronger, and not the BRICS currency. The Indian “currency will remain a national issue,” and not other currencies said Jaishankar.

Russia’s Central Bank Governor Nabiullina gave a reality check to the formation of a BRICS currency. Nabiullina said that creating a new currency “deserves attention,” and also “requires the consent of many parties.”

She added that launching a new currency for global trade “will be quite difficult to implement.” The Governor said that creating the currency “is not a simple project at all.”

Therefore, India and Russia were the first BRICS members to hit the nail on the prospects of a new currency. The U.S. dollar remains the de facto global reserve currency facing no challenge from other contenders.

How Ethereum Price Could Race to $3K Bolstered by Accelerated Staking Post-Shapella Upgrade

Image
As the price wobbles at $1,865 and traders usher in the European session, Ethereum price is facing two conflicting scenarios. advertisement Reclaiming resistance above $1,900 could clear the path to $2,000. On the flip side, losing support at the 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which is grounded at $1,800, might leave ETH vulnerable to declines targeting lower likes such as $1,730 and $1,600. Ethereum Staking Accelerates Post-Shapella Upgrade According to blockchain research platform Messari, Ethereum staking has been improving since the Shapella upgrade, which occurred in April. Before this network update that allowed investors to freely stake and unstake Ether, “staking growth was slow and perceived as riskier.” However, market conditions changed and improved drastically following the implementation of the Shapella upgrade. Users now have the freedom to “comfortably stake and unstake ETH,” thus accelerating the rate of stakin...

Bitcoin 'not undervalued yet' says research as BTC price drifts nearer $16K

Image
An indicator tracking transactions in profit and loss is yet to repeat its traditional bear market bottom sequence, says CryptoQuant. Bitcoin (BTC) may not be good value enough for a macro price bottom, according to Analysis from CryptoQuant. In a blog post on Dec. 29, a contributor to the on-chain analytics platform flagged one BTC price indicator with further to fall. Profitability indicator lacks key cross At nearly 80% below all-time highs, BTC/USD is nearing the zone in which it bottomed during previous bear markets.
