BRICS countries launch gold-backed digital currency "Unit"
The BRICS countries have launched a gold-backed digital trade currency called "Unit," supported by a reserve basket consisting of 40% physical gold and 60% BRICS national currencies. Although it has not yet become official policy, this pilot project is a step toward de-dollarization. Currently, the value of one Unit is approximately 0.9823 grams of gold.
