In the global hybrid war imposed by the United States, Russia is also advancing on the financial front. After the introduction of the natural gas ruble, the binding of the ruble to gold and the acceptance of the settlement in bitcoin, Russia will soon present – the digital ruble!

A few days ago, on April 18th, the ‘Russian market’ published the news that seven more Russian banks will join the testing of the digital ruble in the coming months. According to the words of the head of the central bank of the Russian Federation, Elvira NabiulLina, in the coming months, seven more banks will join the testing in which five Russian banks have been participating since January 2022. The Central Bank of Russia, in cooperation with other banks, is testing the issuance of digital rubles, the opening of digital wallets and transactions between them. Central bank plans to conduct the first real operations in digital rubles as early as next year. She noted that the prototype of a new form of currency was created “quite quickly.” Nabiullina added that the digital ruble will make payments cheaper and will also be used in international payments.

Central bank Governor said that the Bank of Russia, together with the government, is discussing cryptocurrency mining. Nabiullina noted that it is necessary to make a “systemic decision” on crypto mining, and if it is approved, “no limits will be needed.”

So, the digital ruble will arrive next year. But that’s not all – on April 10, the Finance Minister of the Russian Federation, Anton Siluanov, called on the member states of the BRICS alliance to accelerate the establishment of a payment system that will be an alternative to SWIFT. And that will be realized soon.
