The Governor of the Central Bank of Russia: The digital ruble is used for national fund monitoring and will not be mandatory for individuals
According to Russian crypto media Bits.media, the Governor of the Central Bank of Russia, Nabiullina, stated at a press conference that the core purpose of the digital ruble is to automate the monitoring of national contract expenditures, replacing the existing manual review process.
She emphasized that the digital ruble does not differ in transparency from the current cashless ruble, and monitoring individual payments is a "misunderstanding." Nabiullina also promised that the central bank would not force citizens to open digital ruble accounts or to use them, and plans to allow the public to experience it voluntarily starting in September, guiding voluntary adoption through promotional advantages. Previously, the Central Bank of Russia updated the relevant rules for businesses and individuals to open digital ruble accounts.
