🇷🇺 Banks may be allowed to issue digital financial assets directly on open blockchains. The Central Bank of the Russian Federation plans to authorize banks and DFA operators to issue tokens on public networks (Ethereum, Solana, etc.) instead of requiring first-issuance on Russian platforms.

Why this is being considered:

- Reduces operating costs

- Lowers cybersecurity risks by avoiding cross‑platform bridges

- Makes Russian issuers more understandable to international investors

At the same time, operators would be required to:

- Maintain capital to cover investor risks if a token is issued with violations

- Ensure smart contracts meet Russian regulatory standards

Previously considered:

- DFA sales

- Bitcoin (BTC) under review by the Central Bank

- DFA secured by real estate — property status
