🇷🇺 Breaking News: Vladimir Putin officially approved a bill making the "digital ruble" a legal currency. The Central Bank of Russia will serve as the CBDC platform operator, and banks will operate under the new framework. 🏦 The digital ruble is intended for payments and transfers, not as an investment tool. It will coexist alongside physical and non-physical rubles. Testing begins on August 1, with widespread adoption expected in the coming years. Citizens won't be forced to use CBDC; it's a voluntary choice. 🚀

🤫🤔 But for how long will the voluntary choice last? Only time will tell...
