## Resource

Is the world moving more decisively away from the U.S. dollar? In this episode of The Secret War on Cash , Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos examine how BRICS trade, yuan internationalization, and de-dollarization initiatives continue to gain traction. The discussion focuses on China’s push to expand the yuan globally, the broader BRICS agenda to reduce dependence on the dollar, and the growing use of local currencies, payment systems, and digital mechanisms to support that shift. Dean and Chris break down: Why China is promoting the yuan more aggressively in global trade How BRICS keeps adding layers to its long-term financial strategy Why local-currency settlement matters How gold-backed credibility fits into the broader de-dollarization effort Why these developments could matter for the future of the U.S. dollar and global commerce This episode explores a central question in today’s financial world: if more countries are building alternatives to the dollar, what does that mean for investors, markets, and the future of international trade? 👉 Hear Chris & Dean on THE SECRET WAR ON CASH 👉 Request a FREE Swiss America Newsletter & Investor Report 📞 (800) 289-2646 🌐 Swiss America
