“Negative signals” in the use of the digital ruble is not, said the head of the Duma Committee on the financial market Anatoly Aksakov. He expects that up to 3% of Russians with bank accounts will use the digital ruble by the beginning of 2027.

According to Mr. Aksakov, some iPhone users already use the digital ruble, although there are certain difficulties with this. “The banks there help set up the phones. I also said that by the beginning of next year we will work it all out, he told TASS.

As the deputy assured, he did not hear any negative reaction to the digital ruble. I heard that there are problems there with the application, there with download, with switching to the digital ruble. But this was all connected with the features of the iPhone, not with the software product, — said the head of the Duma Committee.

Since September 1, the digital ruble has become the third form of national currency after cash and non-cash. According to the law, by the end of the year, preferential conditions will apply for business, under which no commission is charged for payments and transfers. From 2027, tariffs for services will increase slightly, while still remaining minimal compared to other payment systems. In various development scenarios, experts expect that in 5-7 years, the digital ruble will take from 5% to 30% of non-cash turnover.
