Russia plans to launch a ruble-backed stablecoin, RUBx, and a blockchain payment platform, RT-Pay, complying with the country's strict regulations.
RUBx will be pegged to the Russian ruble on the Tron blockchain and fully controlled, managed, and backed by Rostec, tied to ruble-denominated obligations for stability.
RT-Pay, the payment infrastructure, will offer smart contract capabilities and digital wallet transfers while integrating with the banking system to facilitate controlled transactions.
The release of RUBx and RT-Pay will be gradual, following a cautious deployment strategy, showcasing Russia's interest in state-controlled digital finance through blockchain technology.
