The digital ruble turned out to be almost unnecessary for the Russians.
As Izvestia writes, within two months since the mass launch of the digital ruble, a little more than 300 thousand wallets were created on the platform of the central bank.
Experts say that due to the lack of refund and interest on the balance, Russians are trying the functionality of the digital ruble only out of curiosity and a return to old tools.
"Most of the transactions with digital ruble (in terms of quantity) are related to renewing accounts. No less popular are payments for goods and services, as well as transfers between citizens," the central bank says.
