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.
Put the source of this news so that everyone can verify if it's good news to them or not.
We know what's with it with the ruble as this war has started. And if they're going to expand that desire to put it also into digital for their transactions to be easier, it's up to them.
They can be locked on it and won't accept any other digital currencies as they've been sanctioned a lot with what their government has started.
