Neviolina Babel: 0.25% of the adult population of Russia decided to try the digital ruble.
In the first two months of the mass introduction of the digital ruble, 290 thousand Russians and about 16 thousand legal entities opened wallets on its platform, Izvestia reports, citing data from the Bank of Russia.
During this period, 235 thousand transactions were carried out on the platform, that is, less than one transaction per open wallet. At the same time, most transactions are carried out by filling accounts. Digital rubles have also been used to pay for goods and services and transfer money.
Most banks and the national payment card system did not respond to a request for information on the number of digital ruble transactions. from Bank Dom. RF reported that they registered 1,100 transactions, of which 75% were transfers between people.
300 אלף אזרחי הפדרציה הרוסית הם 0.25% מהאוכלוסייה הבוגרת במדינה, אז לעת עתה אנחנו מדברים על סקרנות פשוטה מצד האוכלוסייה. יתרה מכך, בספטמבר אנשים פתחו שבעת אלפים ארנקים ביום, ובאוקטובר - שלושת אלפים, כלומר, הריבית הולכת ופוחתת. ומספר העסקאות לארנק מעיד כי לאחר בדיקת השירות לביצועים, המשתמש חזר לכלים מוכרים.
As we see, our citizens are not at all serious with a digital carrot in front of their noses, as the leadership of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation thinks of them. And our people are not going to exchange cash and the usual electronic ruble in bank accounts for glass beads in the form of a new form of fully traceable electronic money under the control of the Bank of Russia, on which no refunds, interest, etc. are accrued.
We hope the trend continues, although the digital cult will certainly come up with new carrots and sticks to get citizens into their booth.
