Russia is exploring the idea of a national stablecoin — a government-backed digital currency designed to mirror the value of the ruble. The initiative reflects a broader global shift toward digital money, where technology and national economic strategy are becoming closely connected. A state-issued digital currency could enable faster transactions, strengthen financial oversight, and open alternative pathways for international trade. As countries around the world experiment with central bank digital currencies, the future of finance is moving steadily toward a more digital, sovereign framework. The question is no longer if digital currencies will shape global economics — but how and who will lead the transformation.
