This will have its cons and pros. Crypto adoption is inevitable. But this will in a way affect the whole reason of crypto…decentralization.
This might also give the central authority power on the coin too

As a bitcoiner from there, tell you short real story:

  1. There was no ban in Russia - just was no law, just like in 95% of other countrys there.
  2. This idea od make some stablecoin with russian ruble is not so cool idea because it will not bring more adoption, maybe even drop it a little more( This will in one hand build a bridge to crypto but by other hand it will force you to KYC and report about all your tx.
  3. Still there is some cool stuff in this situation, that much less spreaded - there is some sandbox cluster for blockchain fintech startapps under that bank, that can lead Russia to provide some more liberal laws in order to get some extra points as a country that can be blockchain friendly place (still doubtfull).
  4. Many Central banks (China, 1 bil users, as example) got expiremental crypto, so Russia in this move not the first line. Many doubts in elites and much lesser knowledge on crypto is making this space a risky one to invest for russians.
