Sber to complete its first digital currency transaction<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with the state-backed news agency TASS on June 15, Anatoly Popov, deputy chairman of Sber's executive board, revealed Sber's plans to conclude such a merger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a series of registration delays, Popov stated that Sber was ultimately registered by the country's central bank, the Bank of Russia<\/a>, in spring 2022. Sber has been having trouble registering its digital asset issuance platform, which was supposed to begin in spring 2021 alongside its Sbercoin stablecoin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the recent report does not specifically address blockchain's deployment on Sber's platform, Popov stated that the bank is committed to researching the technology:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are looking closely at the development of new technologies like distributed ledger technology. We are studying how blockchain <\/a>technologies are developing. Our platform has already passed acceptance tests, and the first transaction will take place within a month.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
