It's just speeding up dedollarisation at this point. Trade is increasingly done in other currencies because the US dollar is just a minefield of sanctions and regulations. The US had this power back when they produced everything people needed, but nowadays everything's coming from China, so why involve a third party in your trade that can freeze your accounts for no reason?
