Hey folks! 🚨 Big news alert about #cbdc ! While different countries are gearing up to tackle money laundering in CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) transactions, a group of lawmakers in #Russia is throwing a curveball by suggesting extending those controls to digital transactions in rubles. 😱
If this idea gets the green light, the Russian Central Bank would become the main player in the fight against money laundering and terrorism financing, as per some media reports.
💥 This means the bank would be in charge of assessing the risk associated with each user on the platform, all to sniff out those suspicious transactions. And if necessary, they'd have the power to slam the door shut on access to digital ruble services. 🚫💸
This talk about a wild ride!
Stay tuned for more updates on this front! 🌪️
