China to Take Over BRICS Chairmanship in 2027, Host 19th Summit

For RWA and digital-asset watchers, the significance lies in BRICS' ongoing interest in cross-border settlement and alternative financial rails, where China's convening power could set the tone. The open question is whether that agenda translates into concrete mechanisms or remains declaratory.
