Russia is exploring the development of a national stablecoin as part of its broader push toward digital finance. The proposed asset could be linked to the ruble or backed by commodities such as gold or energy resources, aiming to provide a more stable digital medium for trade and payments. The initiative is closely tied to efforts to strengthen financial sovereignty, expand cross-border payment options, and reduce dependence on traditional global settlement systems. Alongside research on a stablecoin, pilot programs for the digital ruble are already underway. While still in the research and testing phase, the move reflects a growing global trend: countries are actively experimenting with state-linked digital currencies to reshape the future of international finance. #RussiaStudiesNationalStablecoin
