The US dollar may face a huge crisis from BRICS and other Asian currencies, as Stephen Jen, CEO of Eurizon SLJ Capital, revealed to Bloomberg that an “avalanche” of selling the USD worth $2.5 trillion could come from Asian countries. He revealed that Asian exporters and investors have stockpiled a large sum of USD over the years that could soon be dumped as the greenback is weakening against local currencies in 2025. The Bloomberg currency index shows that the USD is down 8% since February, while local currencies are outperforming the reserve currency.

Possibly on the order of $2.5 trillion or so. And pose sharp downside risks to the dollar vis-à-vis these Asian currencies,” Jen and Joana Freire wrote.

Prior to his inauguration this week, Trump noted he was looking to retaliate against efforts to lessen the international prominence of the US dollar. “If BRICS nations want to do that, that’s okay,” he said. “But we’re going to put at least a 100% tariff on the business they do in the United States.” Yet, experts have warned that could come with dire ramifications.
