Ring 5 — Geopolitical Fracture Map

Tracking where the global monetary system is splitting into competing blocs and alternative corridors.

Sanctions, bilateral CBDC agreements, and alternative settlement corridors (CIPS, mBridge, BRICS Pay) are fragmenting the once-unified global payment network. Each fracture event is scored for convergence effect: negative values mean the system is splitting apart, positive values mean regional integration. A rising global fracture score signals accelerating monetary balkanization.
