BRICS DIGITAL ASSET PLATFORM PROPOSAL POISED TO RESHAPE GLOBAL INVESTMENT
A proposed BRICS digital asset platform could ignite unprecedented investment in South Asia, Africa, and Latin America, driving growth in emerging markets.
Digital Assets at the Core of BRICS’ Ambitious New Investment Platform
Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the proposed creation of a BRICS investment platform to support developing markets at the Valdai Discussion Club’s plenary session in Sochi on Friday. He was quoted by Tass as saying:
We suggest creating a new investment platform of [BRICS countries], using electronic assets, developing them.
“The point is to create such a platform of electronic payments, with the use of which it will be possible to invest in developing markets, and these are primary markets of South Asia, Africa, and Latin America in part,” the Russian leader added. The proposed system would facilitate investments from BRICS nations into high-growth areas by utilizing a digital framework, enabling streamlined investment in these regions.
The BRICS economic bloc expanded on Jan. 1 to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), joining Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. This expansion aimed to boost the group’s global economic and political influence. At a recent summit in Russia, BRICS also extended partnership invitations to 13 additional countries, further widening its international presence.
Putin highlighted that the regions targeted by this initiative exhibit strong demographic and economic potential, factors that make them attractive for BRICS investment. He opined:
We think so because very strong demographic processes are taking place there: population growth, capital accumulation, the urbanization level is in sufficient there and it will definitely grow.
At the 16th BRICS Summit, held from Oct. 22-24 in Kazan, Russia, members discussed expanding the bloc’s global influence, including developing alternatives to Western-dominated payment systems to boost financial independence.
Putin has also clarified Russia’s stance on the U.S. dollar, stating that while Russia faces restrictions on its use, it does not intend to abandon the currency. He criticized U.S. policies that limit dollar use, arguing they undermine American financial authority, though he affirmed the dollar’s importance to Russia’s economy.

RIPPLE V. SEC LAWSUIT: RUMORS SUGGEST NEXT POTENTIAL CHAIRMAN OF THE REGULATOR WILL BE PRO-CRYPTO
Firing Gensler seems like one of Trump’s most important crypto-related promises.
▪️Trump’s pledge to replace SEC Chair Gensler with a pro-crypto leader has sparked excitement across the community.
▪️Legal experts believe such changes could lead to a faster resolution of the Ripple v. SEC case.
Gensler’s Possible Successor
Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential elections triggered a massive bull run for the cryptocurrency sector due to his shift from a previously skeptical view to a supportive stance on the asset class. During his campaign, the Republican pledged to make America “the crypto capital of the planet” and proposed creating a strategic BTC reserve.
He also expressed the intention to fire the SEC’s Chairman Gary Gensler on day 1, a promise which triggered huge enthusiasm among the XRP Army. To the uninitiated ones, the Commission and its head have been at war with numerous crypto companies, including Ripple.
Crypto X has been speculating whether the newly-elected president will stick to his promise and wondering who might replace Gensler at the helm of the securities regulator.
Eleanor Terrett (a popular journalist at Fox Business) recently claimed she discussed the matter with “a person close to the Trump transition team,” who assured her that the successor “will be someone pro-crypto.”
NEW: I asked a person close to the Trump transition team about some of the names being floated for @SECGov chair and whether views on #crypto would factor into the decision.
The response: “I promise you it will be someone pro-crypto.”

A new SEC Chairman who is more open to innovation and less inclined to hamper the crypto industry’s advancement by constant legal battles is considered good news not only for those invested in XRP but the entire digital asset market.
The Potential Effect on the Case
Last week, Fred Rispoli (a US attorney who has been following the updates surrounding the Ripple v. SEC lawsuit) argued that the election of Trump could lead to “extreme changes” at the watchdog.
He claimed that the $125 million penalty, which Federal Judge Torres ordered Ripple to pay for violating certain securities laws, is the biggest win the agency can gain. Rispoli also thinks that the SEC’s new potential leadership will “recognize this whole case was idiotic and settle at that point.”
“This might include a reduction in the fine and an agreement that current sales of XRP by Ripple are sufficiently structured to not be investment contracts,“ he added.
The American lawyer Jeremy Hogan chipped in, too. He went even further, forecasting that the new leader of the SEC may dismiss all non-fraud crypto lawsuits filed over the years. Similar to Rispoli, Hogan believes the case could be officially settled for the amount of $125 million:
“It would be…awkward to settle for less than what was already awarded by a Court! The Coinbase and other cases in litigation will simply be dismissed. This will take some time. Not January, but perhaps before summer. That’s my call, and I’m sticking to it.”
