Russia’s state-owned conglomerate Rostec plans to launch a stablecoin named RUBx, pegged 1:1 to the Russian ruble, on the Tron blockchain.
The stablecoin will be backed by real rubles, with each RUBx token supported by one Russian ruble to ensure compliance with Russian banking laws.
Rostec will introduce a payment platform, RT-Pay, to facilitate smooth transactions with RUBx and comply with Russian regulations, including anti-money laundering measures.
Rostec will roll out RUBx and RT-Pay in stages to experiment with the system's security and meet the needs of various sectors, contributing to modernizing Russia’s payment systems.
