Just three months into the year, geopolitical tensions have caught the eye of the global economy. Specifically, there have been ongoing concerns between the US and the BRICS economic alliance. This is a key reason why the upcoming BRICS 2025 summit could be a game changer for the US dollar.
It is no secret that the BRICS alliance has been seeking to de-dollarize its operations for years. Now, with the US embracing America-first trade policies, the ongoing weaponization may be set to solidify their resolve in that way. Subsequently, its most important meeting of the year could go far in moving the bloc away from the greenback.

BRICS 2025 Summit to be Most Pivotal: What It Means for the US Dollar
For the last several years, the BRICS annual summit has been the most important date on the calendar for the economic alliance. It has sought to expand membership and introduce a new national currency promotion in recent gatherings, and the importance of this annual iteration is undeniable.
With the United States undergoing a major policy shift amid the arrival of US President Donald Trump, there is no shortage of reasons for the bloc to be concerned. Moreover, it only ensures that the BRICS 2025 summit could be a game-changer for the US dollar.
The bloc has sought to implement de-dollarization methods in previous summits. Moreover, this year it has all the more reason to. That is especially true amid the major trade and tariff policies introduced by the US.

According to a recent report from the Birch Gold Group, the 17th annual BRICS bloc is expected to have major ramifications for global finance. Indeed, the gathering has been labeled the “Rio Reset.” Specifically, it highlights Brazil’s stance as chairman and the focus on global currency norms.
The event is “rumored to be a significant monetary development that will disrupt the dollar-based global financial system,” the report notes. Indeed, analyst Peter Reagen notes it could be vital to the international financial system. “I’m convinced BRICS will make history this summer.” Reagan said.
There is no better time for that to happen. With the arrival of US tariffs, the US dollar has plummeted 10% in Trump’s first 100 days. That should only continue if no new trade deals are reached. Moreover, the global economy stands ready to diversify amid the unreliable currency.
