1.5% of the world payments is still a good number. Ofc they are far from taking the leadership (and they probably won't) but anyway


By the way they are thinking about using cryptocurrencies to avoid sanctions. link
But in this case a new crypto that they issue (they probably won't use the already established ones) may turn up with another cancerous thing to the whole crypto market and even make more people think that cryptos are used for shady activities.
Anyway imho I don't think that something else (crypto or fiat) will overtake USD.
