๐ท๐บ Russia is pushing the digital ruble into everyday payments.
Starting September 1, major Russian telecom providers and e-commerce platforms will begin accepting payments in digital rubles.
MTS will support digital ruble payments across its MTS Pay services,
while Rostelecom and MegaFon will also introduce the option.
Major e-commerce platforms Wildberries and Ozon are expected to support digital ruble payments from the same date.
Under the new rules, large Russian businesses will be required to support digital ruble transactions, while 12 systemically important banks must provide access to digital ruble wallets.
This is a notable step from CBDC testing toward actual consumer adoption.
Russia isn't just testing a digital currency anymore.
It's putting the digital ruble at checkout. ๐
Do you think CBDC will truly become a widely used payment method, or will users still prefer cash and stablecoins?
