The concept of BRICS currency framework vs USD has been around for a long time. At least since 2013 as far as I remember. The problem is that these countries have very different geopolitical goals and each pushing their agenda.

On the other hand there are many elements in play for USD to keep the hegemony.

At some point I thought maybe BRICS could implement at least their own payment settlement system, an alternative to SWIFT, but that didn't happen neither.
