Not the any% speedrun I think I was going to see but definitely the top runner right now.
While the USD is still the de facto reserve currency for some, many larger countries and blocks have made sure they are not reliant on it. Up to the point where weakening or strengthening the value of the dollar is far less than a power it used to be.

The world economy is tied to the dollar and outside of countries we've sanctioned no country has made large steps towards using something else because using something else would be more complicated and would cost them money

Well guess what ? These countries will inevitably look at each other and form their own trade routes and alliances. Unfortunately, no hegemony is eternal.
