What would the transition to a post-dollar reserve currency realistically look like?

The U.S. dollar has been the world’s dominant reserve currency for decades no doubt, underpinned by deep financial markets, institutional trust, and U.S. geopolitical influence.Still, discussions about a “post-dollar” world have been gaining traction with the rise of China, shifts in global trade, and new mechanisms like digital currencies and alternative settlement systems.

What seems less explored is the actual process of such a transition… the practical steps, frictions, and even the structural changes that would shape it.History shows reserve shifts can be long and uneven,but today’s context is far more complex and interconnected.

I’d really like to hear how economists and finance professionals imagine the mechanics of a move away from dollar dominance in the real world,rather than just the speculation of whether it will or won’t happen hahaha.
