Sber Bank Acquired Digital Asset License in March
Sber Bank is among the most crypto-enthusiastic traditional financial entities in Russia. It has been eager to gain prominence in the crypto sector and increase its influence over the Russian crypto markets.
For this purpose, the bank even filed a request at the Central Bank of Russia to be granted approval to operate as a digital financial service provider.
It was in March when the Sber Bank filed the request and it was accepted by the Russian Central Bank. With the approval, the bank has the authorization of offering digital financial assets to the Russian locals.
Through its blockchain platform, users will have the ability to create different kinds of smart contracts. The users will be able to use the network for the creation of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as well.
The option of creating non-fungible tokens was introduced by the Sber Bank back in September 2022.
Using the bank’s blockchain system, the users will be able to create smart contracts that will be backed by Russian rubles.
This is going to increase the adoption of the Russian ruble and also help all major cryptocurrencies.
Initially, the platform was able to the entities that were operating legally and were companies authorized to use it.
However, the latest announcement made by the Sber Bank confirms that even individuals will be able to use the service.
