This shift is evidenced by Russia’s declaration of intent to pursue de-dollarization and by China and France’s successful completion of an LNG gas trade utilizing the Chinese yuan. As a result of these developments, there has been a decrease in reliance on the US dollar.

A currency can collapse for various reasons. These include hyperinflation, political and economic instability, and the high debt of a country.
