Belarus prepares digital ruble law
- —The bill will be considered at the fifth session of the Council of the Republic of the eighth convocation
- —The digital ruble will become a third form of currency alongside cash and non-cash
- —Accounts will be opened on the National Bank's platform, with operations running 24/7/365
- —Offline payments without constant network access are possible in the future
Why it matters: It expands the digital currency contour in the CIS and could speed up cross-border settlements, but has no direct impact on the crypto market for now.
