On the official website of the BRICS Pay project, we learn as well as single-use QR code cards are distributed free of charge during the Moscow Business Forum. They each allow crediting 500 roubles (around $5.2) on the app. These latter are then usable in several stores distributed throughout this international show (see map below).

We can also read on the official website that BRICS Pay will seek to be a “cross-blockchain” system in addition to allowing cross-border payments :

“BRICS Pay and existing domestic and international payment systems are an integral part of a unique ecosystem designed to enhance cross-border payment capabilities between BRICS nations, enabling seamless settlements between BRICS+ countries. (…) BRICS Pay will offer a digital wallet which integrates various blockchain networks and bank accounts of BRICS countries, facilitating fund management and allowing users to make payments in national currencies within the framework of BRICS+. »

The BRICS Pay application is functional in stores during the BRICS Business Forum in Moscow.

Before his recent declarations of love for Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrencies, the former President of the United States Donald Trump already saw the end of the dominance of the dollar. With the BRICS Pay ecosystem which now seems to be in full swing operational testing phase in real situations, the end of this American monetary hegemony seems closer than ever. THE BRICS Summit 2024 which will therefore be held next week should teach us more about this geopolitical and monetary revolution.
