Russia has already started using digital financial assets (DFAs) in international settlements. In 2025, the country intends to expand the use of DFAs for the supply of goods, said Finance Minister Anton Siluanov.
According to him, bitcoins can also be used within the framework of the experimental legal regime.
Such calculations are underway. We say that they need to be expanded and developed. I am sure that this will be the case next year.
A DFA is a financial instrument that certifies digital rights, including claims for money, rights to securities and the transfer of the right to claim them, and participation in the capital of non-public joint-stock companies. The issuance and circulation of DFAs is carried out by specialized organizations, the requirements for which are established by the Central Bank of Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law in May on the use of DFAs for international settlements.
