🇷🇺 Russia's Central Bank is thinking about a Russian Stablecoin
Russia’s central bank is reportedly exploring the research and potential launch of a Russian stablecoin — and this could reshape how the country handles cross-border payments and digital finance.
If launched, it would likely be:
🔹️Pegged to the Russian ruble
🔹️Issued or tightly regulated by the central bank
🔹️Designed for cross-border settlements
🔹️A tool to reduce reliance on Western financial systems
Russia has already been working on the digital ruble (CBDC). A stablecoin layer could complement that strategy — especially for international trade and energy settlements.
