Согласно сообщениям ChainCatcher и CoinDesk, крупнейший банк России Сбербанк планирует запустить криптовалютный кошелек и цифровой депозитарий до декабря, при условии, что "Закон о цифровых валютах и цифровых правах" вступит в силу в сентябре. Эта услуга будет интегрирована в приложения "Сбербанк Онлайн" и "СберИнвестиции", предоставляя клиентам доступ к авторизованным криптоактивам в банковской системе.Новый закон создаст лицензионную структуру для криптоторговли, депозитариев, обмена фиатной валюты и международных расчетов, при этом лимит на сделки для неквалифицированных инвесторов составит около 300 тысяч рублей в год (примерно 3,800 долларов США). Другие крупные банки, включая ВТБ и Т-Банк, также готовят соответствующие цифровые депозитарные услуги.

According to The Block, Russia's largest bank Sberbank is planning to launch a corporate loan product backed by cryptocurrency. A spokesperson for the bank stated that this move is driven by strong customer demand and mentioned that they are ready to collaborate with the Central Bank of Russia to develop the relevant regulatory framework.The plan follows a similar path to international banks, such as JPMorgan exploring such products, while Wells Fargo has already provided related services. At the end of last year, Sberbank completed a pilot transaction with mining company Intelion Data, which used its own digital currency as collateral, while the bank managed the collateral through its proprietary custody infrastructure and Rutoken hardware solution.

Russia's second-largest bank, Sberbank, has issued the country's first loan secured by Bitcoin to the large Bitcoin mining company Intelion Data. Sberbank stated that this transaction is a pilot project, and further promotion in the future is not ruled out, although the specific loan amount has not been disclosed.Sberbank mentioned that the collateral for the loan is the Bitcoin mined by Intelion Data, which is held through its own crypto custody product, Rutoken, to ensure the security of the assets during the loan term. The bank pointed out that such products are suitable not only for miners but also for companies holding crypto assets.Sberbank's Vice Chairman Anatoly Popov revealed that the bank has provided clients with structured bonds and digital financial assets linked to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and crypto asset portfolios, and is testing DeFi tools to support the gradual legalization of cryptocurrencies within the framework of Russian law.

According to DL News, Russia's largest bank Sberbank has issued the country's first loan secured by cryptocurrency to the Bitcoin mining company Intelion Data. This transaction is positioned as a "pilot," and the loan amount, duration, and specific collateral cryptocurrency have not been disclosed.The Savings Bank of the Russian Federation hinted that similar loans may be issued in the future and stated that its self-developed cryptocurrency custody solution, Rutoken, was used during the loan process to ensure the security of the assets during the loan period.

According to Dlnews, Russia's largest bank, Sberbank, is testing various decentralized finance (DeFi) products in response to the growing demand for cryptocurrency trading from its customers.Anatoly Popov, the bank's deputy chairman, stated that Sberbank will work with regulators to develop digital asset products and believes that traditional banking and DeFi will soon merge. Although the Central Bank of Russia has previously taken a cautious stance on cryptocurrencies, its position has softened with the growth of Bitcoin mining in Russia and more traders using cryptocurrencies as a tool for cross-border settlements. Sberbank has also expressed interest in public blockchains like Ethereum and plans to explore asset tokenization and connections with decentralized finance platforms. It is reported that Sberbank has a market capitalization of approximately $83 billion, with around 109 million retail customers and over 3 million corporate clients.

ChainCatcher news, according to Reuters, Russia's largest bank, Sberbank, announced on Thursday that it hopes to provide custody services for Russian cryptocurrency assets, aiming to play a leading role in the development of digital assets in Russia.Anatoly Pronin, Executive Director of Sberbank's Alternative Payment Solutions Department, stated that after observing an increasing number of foreign banks offering custody services, the bank has submitted a proposal to the central bank regarding the regulation of domestic crypto assets.During a discussion on cryptocurrency regulation, Pronin mentioned that Sberbank's proposal would align the regulatory approach for cryptocurrency assets with that of bank account assets, and the bank would ensure the security of tokens. Custody of crypto assets on behalf of clients means that if law enforcement suspects misconduct, these assets may be frozen, but this move can make transaction operations more convenient and protect accounts from hacking.

ChainCatcher news, Sberbank CEO Herman Gref stated that the law currently prohibits the use of cryptocurrencies as a means of payment within the Russian Federation, and it is unlikely to be allowed in the near future.Gref clarified at a meeting in Moscow that while new legislation in Russia allows for the use of digital currencies and cryptocurrencies for international payments, their use domestically remains restricted. He also pointed out that if other countries are willing to accept it, the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) of Russia—the digital ruble—can be used for global transactions.As the largest bank and state-owned financial institution in Russia, Sberbank is closely monitoring these developments, although Gref expressed uncertainty about the adoption of the digital ruble abroad.

ChainCatcher news, according to the Russian business consulting website (RBC), Russia's state-owned commercial bank Sberbank will allow individuals to trade using digital financial assets (DFA) starting in June.Previously, it was reported that Russia conducted seven placements of digital financial assets (DFA) last month, totaling approximately 1 billion rubles (13 million USD).
