Putin signs a paper and suddenly Sberbank is a crypto exchange. Hilarious. They expect 7.5 trillion rubles to cycle through this by 2029. That is a lot of bags to hold. But the reality is they need a way to settle trades when SWIFT tells them to go pound sand. It is not about freedom, it is about keeping the lights on while the economy is being hollowed out. I hate this coffee. If you think the Central Bank is going to let you walk away with gains when the state needs liquidity, you are dreaming. It is a closed loop, monitored, and ready to be gutted at the first sign of trouble.
