Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, speaks with Andy Schectman, Founder & CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, ahead of the September BRICS summit. Schectman argues that BRICS is no longer simply talking about challenging the dollar – it is methodically building the payment rails, commodity exchanges, vaults, & settlement mechanisms needed to operate outside the Western financial system. Schectman breaks down the significance of BRICS Pay, mBridge, China’s CIPS network, the proposed BRICS Grain Exchange, & plans for a precious metals exchange. He explains how local-currency trade and alternative commodity-pricing systems could gradually reduce global demand for both U.S. dollars & Treasuries – even if BRICS never introduces a single common currency. Schectman also explains his theory that the United States may ultimately “quietly default” on the dollar’s reserve status by allowing gold to soar. He examines record central-bank gold buying, unexplained physical deliveries into the United States, Tether’s growing gold reserves, & whether stablecoins could simultaneously create synthetic Treasury demand while helping facilitate a broader monetary reset. In this episode of The Real Story: - What could emerge from the September BRICS summit - BRICS Pay, mBridge & China’s CIPS payment network - BRICS Grain and precious-metals exchanges - Could gold reach $139,000 if the dollar loses reserve status - Tether, stablecoins and synthetic demand for U.S. Treasuries Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo Follow Michelle Makori on X: https://x.com/MichelleMakori Follow Andy Schectman on X: https://x.com/ASchectman 👍 Like, 🔔 Subscribe, and Stay Informed Join Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.
