China settled trade worth 6.11 trillion yuan (equivalent to $855 billion) with BRICS members during the first half of 2025. The trade volume among member and partner countries increased by 3.9% year-on-year in January to June this year. The development signals a major shift where the alliance is working closely with member nations for cross-border trade and transactions. Apart from BRICS countries, China has also proposed to establish a new digital trading platform with SCO countries. The proposal was announced in the ongoing SCO Global Mayors Dialogue in China’s Tianjin city on Tuesday.

Indeed, Brazil even confirmed that its position looks to be secured for much of the next 10 years. Therefore, if it is unable to make significant gains regarding de-dollarization this year, it may be safe to question if it can ever happen.
