- it has to be a currency pegged to a commodity (or) basket of commodities.
There is a marked increase in articles which predict that the next currency would be pegged to a basket of commodities, with Gold being a prominent one. - it should not be ‘controllable’ by a small coterie of countries.
So, such a currency would have to be proposed by a sufficiently large grouping of countries which want a change from existing system. So, it would have to be a non-G7 grouping. BRICS+ is the one which seems most promising. - it should have critical mass so that it can gain traction.
BRICS has already surpassed G7 in GDP and has 3 times the population. Here too, a hypothetical currency floated by BRICS+ seems promising
While such a currency is not available, the de-dollarization process itself seems to be gathering pace and passing milestones

At some point, a BRICS+ currency (or) some other candidate would arrive on time and further accelerate the process.
Many market experts are suggesting that Gold would get repriced higher once such a currency materializes. So, investment in Gold seems like a safe bet… (Not an advice, just an opinion)
