币界网报道：Russia's digital ruble transactions have exceeded 100,000 as the country expands its central bank digital currency (CBDC) pilot program. The Bank of Russia reported growing adoption among individuals and businesses, with transactions including peer-to-peer transfers and retail payments. The digital ruble, launched in August 2023, is part of Moscow's push to modernize financial infrastructure and reduce reliance on foreign payment systems amid sanctions. The central bank plans further integration with banks and merchants while exploring cross-border CBDC applications with allies. Authorities aim for nationwide rollout by 2025, positioning the digital ruble as an alternative to cash and traditional banking.
