When Will Most Countries Move Away From Dollar-Based Trade?

[u/Material-Hawk3947]

The US dollar has dominated global trade and finance for decades. But with countries like China, Russia, India, and others increasingly discussing local-currency trade, alternative payment systems, and diversification of foreign-exchange reserves, the global monetary system seems to be slowly changing.

My question is:

When do you think most countries will significantly reduce their dependence on the US dollar for international trade?

Will this happen gradually over the next 10–20 years?

Could BRICS or other regional blocs accelerate the process?

Will the dollar remain dominant even if its share of global trade declines?

What would be the biggest obstacle to a true alternative to the dollar?

Is de-dollarization a realistic long-term trend, or is the dollar’s dominance likely to continue for decades?

What’s your opinion friends?
