Russia's central bank is advancing towards the implementation of a digital ruble, with a deadline for major banks to facilitate its use by July next year. This initiative aims to create a financial ecosystem where the digital ruble can coexist with traditional cash and non-cash payment methods, enhancing accessibility for both citizens and businesses.
To ensure a smooth rollout, the Bank of Russia has mandated that major banks enable the opening and topping up of digital ruble accounts, as well as facilitate transfers and acceptance of the digital currency. Following the initial phase with larger banks, smaller institutions are expected to gradually adopt support for the digital ruble in the years ahead.
