PANews reported on December 8th, citing the Institute of Economic Strategy of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IRIAS), that the BRICS countries have launched a working prototype of a gold-backed trade currency called "Unit." This is a digital trading instrument backed by a reserve basket comprising 40% physical gold and 60% BRICS currencies, with the Brazilian Real, Chinese Yuan, Indian Rupee, Russian Ruble, and South African Rand having equal weights. The pilot project was initiated by IRIAS, which issued 100 Units on October 31st, each initially pegged to 1 gram of gold. Although this initiative is not yet official policy, its existence is a direct step towards de-dollarization. The value of "Unit" is designed to fluctuate daily based on the exchange rate of its constituent currencies against gold. As of December 4th, market fluctuations had adjusted the value of the reserve basket to the equivalent of 98.23 grams of gold, effectively making each unit worth 0.9823 grams of gold. Crypto KOL @Mark4XX cautioned that this is merely a pilot project and not a formally adopted currency. It was initiated by the IRIAS organization and is being promoted by some BRICS member countries. Other countries, including some African nations, are closely monitoring it.PANews reported on December 8th, citing the Institute of Economic Strategy of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IRIAS), that the BRICS countries have launched a working prototype of a gold-backed trade currency called "Unit."

Why It Could Outperform Pepe Coin And Tron With Over $7m Already Raised
The post Why It Could Outperform Pepe Coin And Tron With Over $7m Already Raised appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 20:26 While meme tokens like Pepe Coin and established networks such as Tron attract headlines, many investors are now searching for projects that combine innovation, revenue-sharing and real-world utility. BlockchainFX ($BFX), currently in presale at $0.024 ahead of an expected $0.05 launch, is quickly becoming one of the best cryptos to buy today. With $7m already secured and a unique model spanning multiple asset classes, it is positioning itself as a decentralised super app and a contender to surpass older altcoins.

High-Yield Staking Model Shares Platform Revenue Beyond its presale appeal, BlockchainFX is creating a high-yield staking model that gives holders a direct share of platform revenue. Every time a trade occurs on its platform, 70% of trading fees flow back into the $BFX ecosystem: 50% of collected fees are automatically distributed to stakers in both BFX and USDT. 20% is allocated to daily buybacks of $BFX, adding demand and price support. Half of the bought-back tokens are permanently burned, steadily reducing supply. Rewards are based on the size of each member’s BFX holdings and capped at $25,000 USDT per day to ensure sustainability.
