Putin emphasized the BRICS nations’ goal of creating a payment system free from political influence and external control. He noted the group’s expansion in 2024 with the addition of Saudi Arabia, Iran, the UAE, Egypt, and Ethiopia. Putin also highlighted the significant growth in the BRICS’ combined global GDP after these additions, pushing it to 36%. He also expressed openness to welcoming new members from various continents.
A research paper suggests the BRICS group might utilize XRP, associated with Ripple, to facilitate cross-border payments. This aligns with the Bank of Russia’s exploration of the Ripple payment system for similar purposes.
XRP’s reputation for speed and low transaction fees makes it a strong candidate for the BRICS’ new payment system. If adopted, such a move could significantly increase XRP adoption and boost its market value.
Cryptonairz CEO Robert Doyle (Crypto Sensei) predicts a substantial price increase for XRP if the BRICS nations adopt it for cross-border payments. Doyle suggests XRP could reach $10,000 if the group successfully implements its plan.

Analysts believe using XRP as an alternative to the U.S. dollar could offer advantages for BRICS nations. XRP adoption could potentially mitigate the currency volatility challenges faced by developing countries within BRICS.
