During the 42nd ASEAN summit in Indonesia, the leaders committed to promoting the use of local currencies to strengthen financial stability in the region. They adopted the "Declaration on Advancing Regional Payment Connectivity and Promoting Local Currency Transaction" to enable more affordable cross-border payments. The trend towards de-dollarization is increasing, with emerging markets such as BRICS exploring the use of their currencies in trade and considering an alternative international reserve currency. However, the adoption of a new currency or cryptocurrency poses challenges, including conflicting regional bloc objectives and varying levels of crypto regulation. The formulation of global cryptocurrency frameworks is crucial in addressing these issues.
