 <p>The Bank of Russia has started working on a regulatory framework to allow <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="foreign" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/foreign.html">foreign</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="banks" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/banks.html">banks</a> to open accounts to access the digital ruble, Russia’s version of a central bank digital currency (CBDC).</p>
 <p>According to a regulatory filing, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="foreign" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/foreign.html">foreign</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="banks" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/banks.html">banks</a> will get special accounts, where the CBDC system will track all of their operations. It’s expected that <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="foreign" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/foreign.html">foreign</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="banks" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/banks.html">banks</a> will be allowed to open digital ruble accounts on the Bank of Russia’s platform starting in 2025.</p>

 <p>However, introducing CBDC is unlikely to alter or improve the geopolitical situation in which Russia finds itself. Moreover, the officials previously admitted that CBDC platform trials could only be conducted with “friendly” and technologically capable nations such as India and China.</p>
