- BRICS | Digital Currency Launched

The BRICS monetary bloc has launched a working prototype of a digital currency known as the “Unit,” backed by a basket of precious metals and BRICS national currencies. The first 100 Units were issued in a pilot led by Russia’s Institute for Economic Strategies. The BRICS bloc includes many authoritarian or hybrid authoritarian regimes that use capital controls, censorship, and financial surveillance to manage dissent. A state-designed, programmable digital currency rail used across multiple authoritarian states could harden those powers. FinancialFreedomReport.org
