This could become the new center of the international monetary governance system.&rdquo;</blockquote>But Huang stopped short of directly suggesting that the e-CNY could, or should, perform such a role &ndash; although his article did make note of the <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/brics-digital-currency-could-launch-in-5-10-years-experts-claim.htm">BRICS</a> payment platform BRICS Pay.BRICS Pay is an in-development digital payments platform.Its masterminds claim that the platform will be both digitized and decentralized.It remains to be seen if BRICS member states will seek to integrate their CBDC projects with BRICS Pay.But the likes of China, <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/russia-should-scrap-digital-rubles-buying-limit-for-foreigners-says-top-mp.htm">Russia</a>, and <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/brazilian-central-bank-reveals-cbdc-pilot-partners-one-major-crypto-player.htm">Brazil</a> have made notable progress with their respective digital currency projects.<figure class="media"><oembed url="https://twitter.com/Breakingviews/status/1700774111335608548"></oembed></figure>And Huang suggested that CBDCs could indeed play a role, provided interoperability issues could be addressed.He wrote:<blockquote>&ldquo;Bilateral or multilateral cross-border transactions could be realized through the digital currency bridge projects.&rdquo;</blockquote>Huang also wrote of the importance of &ldquo;breaking down&rdquo; the <a href="https://cryptonews.com/tags/SWIFT">SWIFT bank messaging system</a> &ldquo;dominance&rdquo; that is &ldquo;controlled by the United States.&rdquo;He claimed it was &ldquo;necessary&rdquo; for Chinese allies to &ldquo;vigorously promote the process of de-dollarization in key areas such as energy and commodities.&rdquo;<figure class="media"><oembed url="https://twitter.com/ReutersChina/status/1700769321176498510"></oembed></figure>The academic claimed this could be achieved via &ldquo;currency swaps,&rdquo; and said that the &ldquo;use of local currencies and the yuan for settlements with commodity-producing countries&rdquo; would help &ldquo;gradually loosen&rdquo; the &ldquo;bond&rdquo; between oil and the US dollar.
