In April, Nabiullina noted that the mass roll-out plan for the digital ruble would likely take five to seven years, stressing that it was a “natural process” that must be convenient to gain acceptance among businesses and users.
Russia’s digital currency pilot is currently in the first testing stage, with 12 banks, 600 individuals, and 22 trade and service enterprises from 11 cities enrolled as participants. According to President Putin, as of July 1st, the testing phase had facilitated over 27,000 transfers and over 7,000 payments of goods and services using the digital ruble.
