[Russian Central Bank Plans to Allow Digital Financial Assets to Circulate on Public Blockchains like Ethereum] According to Izvestia, the Russian Central Bank has submitted a proposal to the government to allow digital financial assets (ЦФА) to circulate on open networks such as Ethereum. The related draft legislation is planned to be introduced by the summer of 2026. This move aims to attract foreign capital from Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America, as well as to promote cross-border settlements. Over the past three years, the Russian ЦФА market has grown from 44 billion rubles to 1.5 trillion rubles. Analysts predict that if the regulations are implemented, the market size could reach 12 to 13 trillion rubles by 2030.
