A new form of currency will appear in Russia – the digital ruble
On August 1, 2023, the law on the introduction of the digital ruble comes into force. It will become an addition to, and not a replacement for, cash and non-cash rubles. The digital ruble will be stored on a special electronic platform, and only the Central Bank will be able to issue and regulate it – this is how it differs from cryptocurrency. It will be possible to pay for goods and services, transactions with financial instruments, and so on with the digital ruble, but it will not be possible to credit it to deposits and deposits in banks.
