Original: MILESTONE | The Russian Finance Ministry Pays Employees in Ruble CBDC for First Time
Russia's Finance Ministry has paid some of its employees' salaries in the digital ruble for the first time, marking a milestone for the country's central bank digital currency rollout. The shift to the state-issued digital currency for public sector wages is being watched as a test case for broader adoption of the ruble CBDC across government payments.
Why now: It is a first real-world use of Russia's digital ruble for official salary payments, signalling progress in the CBDC rollout.
