The launch of the digital ruble in Russia was originally scheduled for July 1, 2025, but in February 2025, Central Bank head Elvira Nabiullina announced a delay with no new date provided. The digital ruble has been in testing since 2022, with a pilot program involving banks, businesses, and individuals running since August 2023. The Central Bank has stated it will only move to full rollout after a thorough review of all technological and economic aspects. Market Resolution Criteria: This market will resolve to “Yes” if the Central Bank of Russia officially announces the launch of the digital ruble for public use on or before December 31, 2025, 23:59 UTC. If the launch is officially postponed beyond that date or no announcement is made by then, the market will resolve to “No.” Resolution sources: official statements from the Central Bank of Russia, published on the regulator’s official website (www.cbr.ru) or reported by reputable media outlets.
