Listen mate it depends on the point of view. Globalization led to a greater dependence of the economies of all countries on the largest economies. Is it surprising that countries that have been sanctioned and have declared their rejection of the dollar are secretly trading USDT (or analog) among themselves? Fuckin BRICS for example: Russia can't sell Indian rupees, nobody to buy and nowhere to sell, while China blocks yuan transfers from Russia for fear of secondary sanctions. And they tell us they going on dedollarization. Now they officially starting to use crypto for international transactions, and I doubt that's not USD stable coins.

They decided to switch to crypto because any payment system (like MIR or Golden Crown from Russia) is easily blocked by sanctions. BRICS members will not risk trading with Russia or Iran even if this payment system works better than SWIFT.
