🇷🇺 Russia Pays Government Salaries in Digital Ruble for First Time
The Russian Ministry of Finance has officially started paying employee wages using the digital ruble, marking a major milestone for the country's Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). The rollout began on October 1 and is currently operating on a voluntary basis for government staff.
This move follows successful federal budget trials in 2025, where approximately 16 million digital rubles (around $192,245) were disbursed. The Bank of Russia and the Finance Ministry are now integrating the digital currency directly into the national budget process.
