In this, at the first stage, it should be the companies with state participation. In addition, the Central Bank’s Governor Elvira Nabiullina said that ELR may allow payments not only in cryptocurrencies but also in digital financial assets (DFAs) for participants in FEA. She reported that the creation of authorized organizations for the exchange and sale of such assets for the needs of FEA is planned.
What else does the publication report? Currently, the Central Bank and the government are discussing the sphere of activities of authorized organizations for the exchange and sale of DFAs, how they will be serviced, what banks to work with, and how they may interact with the participants of foreign trade activities.
According to Guznov, he is not sure that it has to be a company that is created from scratch. “Any creation is time, to build up competence, find people, create technologies, provide an organizational structure, and so on,” he specified.
