😱🔥Russia starts international payments with crypto: Official statement has arrived 🇷🇺
With the beginning of the Ukraine war in 2022 and the Western sanctions that followed, Russia's perspective on cryptocurrencies has completely changed. This year, #Russia may make some international payments with cryptocurrencies. The statement came from the head of the Central Bank of Russia, Nabiullina.
The head of the Central Bank of Russia, Elvira Nabiullina, stated that they will be able to make some international payments with cryptocurrencies by the end of the year. Speaking to the news agency Reuters, Nabiullina said that she expects the lower house of Parliament to approve the relevant law.
Those who joined crypto with the war There was a serious opposition to cryptocurrencies in Russia until the Ukraine war that started in 2022. In particular, central bank head Nabiullina had many explanations in the past for banning cryptocurrencies.
However, the Ukraine war and the West's seizure of Russia's assets and the imposition of heavy financial sanctions have made the country reevaluate its perspective on cryptocurrencies.
While President Putin also made some positive statements about cryptocurrencies and even Bitcoin, it was noteworthy that Russian regulars changed their negative perspectives.
Recently, large Russian companies have also been facing serious difficulties in making international payments under heavy Western sanctions. Russia has also been included in the SWIFT system under these sanctions.
Despite all this, there is a great contradiction despite Europe's natural gas purchases from Russia.
