Bank of Russia poised to ban private Ruble-pegged stable coins
It is likely that Russia - a nation with centralised political power and influence – will have been dismayed over the past year witnessing the liberal receptiveness of their US competitors in allowing unregulated private currencies to emerge and challenge the integrity and value of the nation’s offering.
Bank of Russia
As reported by local news outlet Prime, the Bank of Russia have openly expressed their opposition to a ruble-pegged private stablecoin in an effort to maintain control over the financial landscape.It’s clear that Russia has no intention of mirroring the fate of Facebook’s Libra (now called Diem) and the financial fiasco that followed.
Comments
First deputy chairman of the Central Bank Sergei Shvetsov expressed plans via a discussion with fellow banking members and participants to introduce legislation which will blanket-ban all assets in this niche class:"China has explicitly banned any stablecoins in the yuan. I think that we are not far from this. At least, everything that will be used as a means of payment will be suppressed by us. We proceed from the assumption that the Russian Federation's means of payment is the ruble."
Digital Ruble
Despite this denouncement over the premise of a privately-owned digital asset aligned with the national currency, the Bank of Russia have expressed interest in a state-issued digital ruble. In October 2020, they released an official roadmap for the concept, commenting that a digital ruble will be issued “in addition to existing forms of money.”Shvetsov regards this idea as “exactly the philosophy - the uniqueness of the means of payment.”
In August 2020, one of Russia’s largest banks Sberbank announced that they were working on launching a ruble-pegged stablecoin. The response from the Bank of Russia in the last few days seems to end this company and others hopes for launch in this area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
