Russian Official Advocates for Unified Crypto Strategy to Boost Economy
Deputy Finance Minister Ivan Chebeskov has called for a cohesive regulatory framework to harness digital assets—including cryptocurrencies and the digital ruble—for Russia's economic development. Speaking at Moscow's crypto Summit 2025, he emphasized the need to integrate these tools into the nation's financial system.
The push follows recent Treasury proposals to expand investor access to crypto markets. Chebeskov framed digital assets and CBDCs as sharing a common foundation, urging strategic alignment to maximize their collective potential.
