Elvira Nabiullina, President of the Central Bank of Russia, stated that they are against the use of crypto money in the country, but it can be preferred for foreign payments.
Russian Central Bank Turns To Cryptocurrencies For Foreign Payments
Elvira Nabiullina, Governor of the Central Bank of Russia, stated that in a controlled “experimental” environment it is possible to allow international trade with cryptocurrencies.
Nabiullina welcomes the use of crypto payments as external payments, which have passed regulatory controls and completed the experimental stages. However, Nabiullina reiterated her opposition to the use of crypto within the country.
