Suddenly Everyone Is Hunting for Alternatives to the US Dollar

Same story in Yahoo Finance with full text and good discussions in comments:

the comments are literally conspiracy theories and dooming. Not very helpful.

Important to note that 'alternatives' will not mean 'replacement'.

USD will the remain dominant and preferred currency in terms of global transaction value but will lose relative market share. This is the inevitable consequence of the weaponisation of the dollar - countries who are concerned about national sovereignty / security will be setting up back-up channels with partner countries in case they are the next to be targeted. Global trade will get more complicated, more regionalised, therefore more expensive, leading to more inflation. New normal, as we say

It is mildly interesting that countries are feared more about "weaponisation" of the dollar than the reason of sanctions: Russia invaded Ukraine because of the wish of annexation. The article shows their priorities.
