This could cause insane hyperinflation. A key part of American hegemony is that we print dollars to bribe every country on the planet. This doesn't have any real effects because they all bury the it in a hole in the hope that it will retain it's value better than their own currency.
There are now strong incentives for people with large amounts of Russian trade to start dumping dollars, and once one country does everyone else has to follow suit to avoid getting screwed. This also means people will start calling in US debt. One way around this for the US is to simply delete those digital dollars and not pay any of the debt. There is nothing any country could do about that other than invade to physically take resources as compensation, and good luck with that.

Russia has been trying everything they can to undermine the US Dollar. If they are serious about TGS it just may work this time.
