BRICS Push To Ditch Dollar Escalates As Russia Issues $2,800,000,000 in Bonds Using Chinese Currency

BRICS nation Russia is taking another step to ditch reliance on the US dollar, issuing its first government bonds denominated in Chinese currency.

Russia just raised $2.8 billion of bonds denominated in Chinese renminbi, capitalizing on China’s low interest rates to fund its invasion of Ukraine.

Russia’s finance minister Anton Siluanov says the move further cements the direct financial link between the two nations.

“We have succeeded in creating a liquid sovereign benchmark that will serve as a pricing guide for corporate borrowers and will contribute to the deepening of bilateral co-operation between Russia and China in the financial sector.

The results of the placement opened up significant opportunities for the further development of the national financial market and demonstrated interest in debt instruments denominated in the currency of the Russian Federation’s strategic partner.”

According to Siluanov, the transaction was executed entirely using Russian accounting and settlement infrastructure.

“Both issues were and remain available to all categories of investors, including foreign ones.

Given the benchmark reliability of the state as an issuer, such an instrument can be used for a variety of purposes, from managing available yuan liquidity to foreign currency savings.”

Much of Russia’s $50 billion National Wealth Fund is now denominated in renminbi, which opens cheaper financing for Russian firms.

A new consultation paper outlines how the watchdog intends to apply its rulebook to crypto firms, shaping everything from asset safeguarding to trading platform operation. According to the financial regulator, these proposals would translate into clearer protections for retail investors and stricter oversight of crypto firms. UK FCA plans Until now, UK crypto users mostly encountered the FCA through rules on promotions and anti-money laundering checks. The consultation paper goes much further. It proposes direct oversight of stablecoin issuers, custodians, and crypto-asset trading platforms (CATPs). For investors, that means the wallets, exchanges, and coins they rely on could soon be subject to the same governance and resilience standards as traditional financial institutions. The regulator has also clarified that firms need official authorization before serving customers. This condition should, in theory, reduce the risk of sudden platform failures or unclear accountability. David Geale, the FCA’s executive director of payments and digital finance, said the proposals are designed to strike a balance between innovation and protection. He explained: “We want to develop a sustainable and competitive crypto sector – balancing innovation, market integrity and trust.” Geale noted that while the rules will not eliminate investment risks, they will create consistent standards, helping consumers understand what to expect from registered firms. Why does this matter for crypto holders? The UK regulatory framework shift would provide safer custody of assets, better disclosure of risks, and clearer recourse if something goes wrong. However, the regulator was also frank in its submission, arguing that no rulebook can eliminate the volatility or inherent risks of holding digital assets.
