On December 6th, something big happened even if the mainstream media barely whispered about it. The BRICS+ nations have moved forward with UNIT,
a new currency designed to reduce their dependence on the US dollar and shield their economies from external sanctions.
If this project gains traction, it could mark the beginning of a true financial revolution.
What Exactly Is UNIT?
UNIT isn’t “just another coin.” It’s a monetary tool with real backing and
a strategic purpose. Here’s what sets it apart:
1. Backed by Gold and a Basket of BRICS+ Currencies
According to the proposed model, UNIT draws its value from:
40% physical gold,
60% from a diversified basket of BRICS+ currencies, including the Chinese yuan, Indian rupee, Brazilian real, South African rand, and Russian ruble.
This structure is meant to provide stability, reduce exposure to single-currency shocks, and form a credible alternative to the dollar.
Blockchain at the Core
2. Running on the Cardano Blockchain
UNIT is built on the Cardano network, chosen for its low fees, decentralization, and extremely fast settlement times.
This matters for one key reason:
Minting Requires Real Assets
To issue new UNIT tokens (minting), qualified nodes which can be governments or approved private entities must deposit the required assets (gold or foreign currencies).
This mechanism gives UNIT something that most digital assets lack: tangible collateral.
Not Another Bitcoin, A Different Game Entirely
3. UNIT Is a Monetary Instrument, Not
a Speculative Crypto
Bitcoin is digital, decentralized, and deflationary but it isn’t backed by physical assets.
UNIT is the opposite:
asset-backed,
designed for international settlements,
targeted at governments and institutions.
Think of it as a digital upgrade to
a commodity-backed currency.
Why BRICS+ Wants UNIT
4. China and Other Nations Are Pushing Hard for It
The goal is very clear:
Protection from sanctions (critical for countries like Russia and Iran)
Full independence from US financial influence
Rapid transaction speeds
Dollar-free trade between BRICS+ nations
Imagine making a transfer from Shenzhen to a small town in Poland in 0.01 seconds but with the same simplicity as a regular bank transfer. That’s the vision.
And with 11 full BRICS+ members and 20+ countries expressing interest, UNIT has
a potentially massive user base from day one.
Why This Matters
If UNIT scales, it could:
Reshape international trade
Reduce reliance on the dollar
Provide emerging economies with more financial freedom
Introduce gold-backed digital currency to the mainstream
This is especially significant at a time when many nations are seeking alternatives to the US-led financial system.
Is This the Beginning of a New Era?
Perhaps. UNIT is still new, and global monetary transitions rarely happen overnight. But the intent is clear BRICS+ wants a parallel system where Washington doesn’t control the switch.
Whether UNIT becomes a global powerhouse or stays a regional experiment, one thing is certain:
The world’s financial architecture is shifting and not slowly.
