🇷🇺 JUST IN: Russia has officially started paying government employees in DIGITAL RUBLES.
The Finance Ministry made its first digital ruble salary payments on October 1.
Employees who opted in opened accounts directly on the Bank of Russia’s platform and received their salaries digitally.
This is bigger than a simple payroll experiment.
Russia only rolled out the digital ruble to the public last month.
Now it is already being used for government salaries a major step toward real-world adoption of a central bank digital currency.
And the timing is impossible to ignore.
The EU sanctioned Russia’s digital ruble months ago.
Yet Russia is continuing to expand its use domestically.
If adoption accelerates, the digital ruble could become a key part of Russia’s future payment infrastructure potentially reducing reliance on traditional financial rails.
The global CBDC race is getting very real.
