Crypto researcher SMQKE highlighted a specific detail from a BRICS economic report, noting that the XRP Ledger is directly cited within the ￰1￱ the post, SMQKE stated that “the XRPLedger is explicitly cited in an official BRICS report on the development of a BRICS cryptocurrency” and emphasized that the mention is ￰2￱ observation is based on a section of the report that discusses smart contracts, escrow-like systems for trade finance, and blockchain-based mechanisms to improve settlement ￰3￱ report references “XRP Ledger, 2020” in this context, indicating that its escrow model was considered when evaluating options for cross-border trade finance ￰4￱ XRPLedger is explicitly cited in an official BRICS report on the development of a BRICS cryptocurrency.

Documented. ￰0￱ ￰5￱ — SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG) September 1, 2025 Details from the report page The document itself outlines how BRICS countries have studied distributed ledger technology and blockchain to strengthen operational efficiency in trade ￰6￱ states that in 2019, the BRICS Business Council created a working group to explore a trade-facilitating ￰7￱ the same time, it stresses that meeting BRICS goals for de-risking national currency trade settlements does not necessarily require the creation of a new, specialized cryptocurrency for document flow.
