Russia pays wages in digital rubles for the first time
Original: Russia’s Finance Ministry pays wages in digital rubles for first time
Russia's Finance Ministry has paid staff wages in digital rubles for the first time, marking a milestone in the country's rollout of its central bank digital currency. The move moves the digital ruble beyond pilot tests into actual salary payments, a step officials have framed as part of modernising state payments infrastructure.
Why now: It is a first-of-its-kind state salary payment in a central bank digital currency, raising questions about the digital ruble's rollout.
