Aksakov: Up to 3% of Russians Will Use Digital Ruble by 2027

  • Aksakov's forecast: up to 3% of bank account users by early 2027
  • In the first 10 days, 87,000 accounts were opened and over 50,000 transactions were made
  • The wallet is available at 12 banks, with a monthly top-up limit of 300,000 rubles
  • iPhone owners cannot open a wallet through apps due to Apple restrictions
Why it matters: Mass adoption of the digital ruble could accelerate the outflow of deposits from banks and reduce the sector's fee income.
