The real use of the digital ruble will begin in 2023
The head of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, Elvira Nabiullina, said that the development of a national digital currency is in full swing and next year the agency will conduct the first real settlements in the digital ruble.
Pls do you have any source link to that?
If the Russian economy is going to succeed in using the digital rubble then i think now is the best time else i doubt they will by any means scale through the sanction by ordinary CBDC where bitcoin have not yet make any difference in the whole current situation, and also considering the inflation looming on the world most recognized currency USD they will by all means suppress all possible escape route for Russia to scale through the sanction place, they have already warned that no country or business is expected to maintain having ties with Russia in such that could help them evade sanction, now how possible could already downgraded Rubble come in a digital form and be a game changer for Russia.
