Russia Considers Digital Currencies as Collateral
Russia's Federation Council has recommended that the Ministry of Justice examine whether digital currency, including stablecoins, can be used as collateral to secure obligations.
The proposal, made on September 28, 2026, calls for possible amendments to civil legislation governing the use of digital currency as security.
Sberbank's earlier pilot corporate loan using cryptocurrency as collateral in December 2025 provides a practical reference for the current discussion.
