In two months of mass implementation of the digital ruble in Russia, 306 thousand wallets were opened and 235 thousand transactions were made, the Central Bank of Izvestia said.
As of November 1, digital wallets were opened by almost 290 thousand citizens and about 16 thousand companies. Most of the transactions involved filling accounts. Digital rubles were also used for transfers, payment for purchases and payment of taxes.
Analysts attribute such dynamics to the initial interest of users in the new form of currency. After testing the digital ruble, many return to their regular bank cards and the fast payment system.
