The governor of Russia's central bank confirmed the digital ruble launch on September 1, 2025. However, the European Union had already sanctioned the Russian CBDC in 2025 as part of its response to the war in Ukraine, marking a new front in geopolitical use of digital currencies.
Russia's central bank governor has confirmed that the country's digital ruble is on track for a full rollout on September 1, 2025. However, the European Union preemptively sanctioned the digital ruble back in 2025, as part of broader measures against Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine. This means that Russia's central bank digital currency (CBDC) will face external restrictions even before it reaches widespread domestic use, highlighting how digital currencies are increasingly becoming tools in geopolitical conflicts.
