Russia's Central Bank to Open Digital Ruble Accounts to Citizens Aged 14 by End of 2027
- —Since September 1, all citizens aged 18 and over can open digital ruble accounts
- —The central bank is working on access for the 14–18 age group by late 2027
- —In the first 10 days, 87,000 accounts were opened and over 50,000 transactions completed
- —Monthly top-up limit is 300,000 rubles; transfers remain free for individuals
Why it matters: Extending digital ruble access to teenagers accelerates adoption of Russia's third form of national currency and could shape broader crypto regulation in the country.
