Wait, wasn’t that about China?
You have a good eye! A few days earlier, a Chinese official Yao Qian reportedly called for a state-owned digital currency as well. Looks that both countries are now in a race for a state-controlled cryptocurrency.

Why is it important?
Russia is almost as hard on crypto market as China. Although the country hasn’t officially banned ICOs and cryptocurrencies, Russia’s officials including Putin himself do call for crypto regulation.

What’s so special about cryptoruble anyway?
Limited emission. Closed distribution. No option to mine it. And, most likely, the taxation model equal to income tax.
