Give Commercial Banks More Power over Digital Ruble
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Russia is just one of the many nations now engaged in a fast-paced race to issue a central bank digital currency (CBDC). After years of humming and hawing about a so-called “cryptoruble,” the Central Bank has now committed to launching a pilot next year, almost certainly to be followed by a swift, full national rollout.

But in an interview with news agency Tass, Vladislav Martynov, the Vice President of the Russian Association of Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain (RACIB), stated, the Central Bank’s framework for the digital ruble should see “the maximum amount of functionality” handed over to “existing players – namely, commercial banks.”
