Rostec, Russia’s military-industrial behemoth, is set to roll out a ruble-backed stablecoin and a digital payment platform by the end of this year, TASS has reported . The token will be issued on the Tron blockchain.
The initiative targets both individual and enterprise users. The goal is to establish a secure, compliant, and blockchain-integrated system for digital transactions within the Russian financial ecosystem.
Built on Tron, a blockchain known for its high throughput and popularity for low-cost transactions, the stablecoin, dubbed RUBx, is 1:1 backed by fiat rubles, according to Alexander Nazarov, Deputy General Director of Rostec. The state-run Russian corporation will be its operator.
RUBx will be fully open source, with code published on GitHub. CertiK, a globally recognized smart contract auditing firm, will verify the code.
The digital payment platform, called RT-Pay, will integrate with existing banking infrastructure to enable digital payments and interactions with external wallets and smart contracts.
Dmitry Shumayev, head of the RUBx project, said the new platform would be rolled out in stages, with development tailored to the needs of different sectors of the economy.
He noted that particular emphasis would be placed on security and integration with existing financial infrastructure, and suggested the ecosystem could eventually serve as the foundation for a range of innovative financial services.

Triple Pressure from the Federal Reserve, Treasury, and Congress; Goldman Sachs: Liquidity Crisis May Occur in 2027
Goldman Sachs warns that the reserve ratio of bank assets has dropped to around 11%, only slightly above the crisis trough of 2019. In the second half of 2027, a deadlock in debt ceiling negotiations will force the Treasury to rebuild the TGA, triggering a "perfect storm" of a sharp drop in reserves and a surge in T-bill supply; combined with stalled money market fund buying, this will create a huge liquidity black hole. The Federal Reserve could be forced into the awkward position of lowering interest rates and launching large-scale bond purchases to rescue the market.
