Russia finance ministry official floats country making own stablecoins: Report
The deputy head of Russias Finance Ministrys financial policy department, Osman Kabaloev, has reportedly said the country should be developing its own stablecoins.
A Russian finance ministry official has reportedly said the country should be developing its own stablecoin after a recent freeze on wallets linked to the sanctioned Russian exchange Garantex by US authorities and stablecoin issuer Tether.
Deputy director of Russias Finance Ministrys financial policy department, Osman Kabaloev, said the Kremlin should be exploring the possibility of developing a stablecoin like Tethers (USDT) to avoid similar actions in the future, according to April 16 reports by Reuters and the state-owned news agency TASS.
We do not impose restrictions on the use of stablecoins within the experimental legal regime. Recent developments have shown that this instrument can pose risks for us, Kabaloev told TASS.
