Iran and Russia want to issue a new stablecoin backed by gold.
The potential stablecoin aims to enable cross-border transactions instead of fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar, the Russian ruble or the Iranian rial.

BRICS currency officially announced

The Kremlin has announced the development of a blockchain-based payment system within the BRICS alliance.
Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov emphasized the importance of creating an independent BRICS payment system using modern tools like digital technologies and blockchain, aiming for convenience, cost-effectiveness, and non-political influence.
The focus for the year is to enhance BRICS's role in the international monetary system, with an emphasis on increasing settlements in national currencies and strengthening correspondent banking networks.
Work will continue on the Contingent Reserve Arrangement, particularly focusing on currencies other than the US dollar, as outlined in the 2023 Johannesburg Declaration.

Challenging The G7

BRICS plus nations in the Global South could represent a sea change in the West's global institutions.
The West has traditionally dominated global groupings of leaders, most notably the G8, which included Russia until 2014 and is now the G7.
That is an inter-governmental political forum consisting of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, with the European Union is a 'non-enumerated member'.
Russia is ready to develop a global reserve currency together with China and other members of the BRICS group of nations.
It could be based on a basket of currencies from the organization's members.
One possibility is that the BRICS basket currency could attract the reserves not just of the group's members, but also countries already in their range of influence.
These include nations in South Asia and the Middle East.

Taiwan's Currency Backed by Gold Reserves: Central Bank

A central bank official announced on Friday that Taiwan holds around 422 tonnes of gold in reserve, managed by the Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan) to support the national currency.
Of this, 410 tonnes are dedicated to backing the issuance of New Taiwan dollars, while a smaller portion is used every four years to mint commemorative coins for the inauguration of the president and vice president.
As of the first quarter of 2024, Taiwan ranks 12th globally in gold reserves.
Despite a significant increase in gold's value since its purchase in the 1970s, the central bank is not buying or selling its reserves.
Taiwan's unrealized gain from these reserves is nearly NT$900 billion due to gold's appreciation.
