🚀 Russia is increasingly looking to use cryptocurrency to combat economic sanctions. Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said that Bitcoin and other digital currencies are now being used in international trade, thanks to recent legislative changes. The move is not only to circumvent sanctions but also to embrace financial innovation.

President Vladimir Putin has also been supportive, highlighting Bitcoin as a decentralized alternative. Russia, one of the world leaders in Bitcoin mining, uses the mined coins for trade. Siluanov is optimistic that cryptocurrency usage will become more widespread by 2024. 🌐

With strong government support, Russia is leading the crypto-based financial revolution.
