Russian is using bitcoin (and ether and tether) for oil trades with China and India.

"Some Russian oil companies are using bitcoin, ether and stablecoins such as Tether to smooth the conversion of Chinese yuan and Indian rupees to Russian roubles, the sources said, adding that it is a small but growing part of Russia's overall oil trade, which according to the International Energy Agency was worth $192 billion last year."

That they use USDT I can understand but why in the world would any want to use ETH?
