Rostec, a state-owned defense and technology conglomerate, plans to launch the stablecoin RUBx on the TRON network, with each token backed by Russian Rubles.
RUBx will comply with local regulations and be audited by CertiK, aiming to integrate with the financial system and adhere to Bank of Russia's requirements to prevent money laundering.
The stablecoin will initially be used for profitable projects, expanding to retail consumers and businesses, and will work with RT-Pay for transactions, smart contracts, and connections to traditional banking services.
TRON's ecosystem is seen as suitable for this project due to its fast transactions, low costs, and existing partnerships, such as with Tether's USDT, and TRON's TRX token has a significant market capitalization of $26.8 billion.
