The stablecoin sector is gaining significant traction as it facilitates Russia in settling deals with China. Notably, this shifting focus towards crypto is driven by the challenges posed by international sanctions. Meanwhile, a recent Bloomberg report highlighted that Russian firms are increasingly turning to stablecoins like Tether (USDT) to execute financial transactions with Chinese counterparts.

穩定幣產業正在獲得巨大的吸引力，因為它有助於俄羅斯與中國達成交易。值得注意的是，這種對加密貨幣的關注轉移是由國際制裁帶來的挑戰所推動的。與此同時，彭博社最近的一份報告強調，俄羅斯公司越來越多地轉向使用 Tether (USDT) 等穩定幣來與中國同行進行金融交易。

Russian Firms Embrace Stablecoins To Settle Deals

俄羅斯公司採用穩定幣來解決交易

Russian commodities firms, particularly those in metals and timber, have found stablecoins to be an effective solution for cross-border transactions. These companies have struggled to receive payments and procure equipment due to sanctions and tighter compliance measures. However, a recent report from Bloomberg suggests that using stablecoins offers a swift and cost-effective alternative.

俄羅斯大宗商品公司，特別是金屬和木材公司，發現穩定幣是跨國交易的有效解決方案。由於制裁和更嚴格的合規措施，這些公司難以收到付款和採購設備。然而，彭博社最近的一份報告表明，使用穩定幣提供了一種快速且經濟高效的替代方案。

Ivan Kozlov, co-founder at Resolv Labs, emphasizing the efficacy of stablecoins, said that the digital currencies aid in facilitating the transfer in about 5-15 seconds with lower costs. In addition, the use of stablecoins helps mitigate the risk of frozen overseas bank accounts, a problem that has plagued Russian firms. Despite opening multiple accounts in different countries, many have faced repeated freezes.

Resolv Labs 聯合創始人 Ivan Kozlov 強調了穩定幣的功效，他表示數位貨幣有助於以較低的成本在大約 5-15 秒內完成轉帳。此外，穩定幣的使用有助於減輕海外銀行帳戶被凍結的風險，這是一個困擾俄羅斯企業的問題。儘管在不同國家開設了多個帳戶，但許多帳戶多次面臨凍結。

Considering that, the report suggests that stablecoins like USDT, pegged to the US dollar, provide a more stable and secure means for these transactions. Besides, it also bypasses traditional banking systems that are susceptible to sanctions.

考慮到這一點，報告建議像 USDT 這樣與美元掛鉤的穩定幣可以為這些交易提供更穩定和安全的手段。此外，它還繞過了容易受到製裁的傳統銀行系統。

Meanwhile, the increasing reliance on cryptocurrencies reflects a broader shift in Russia's regulatory landscape. The Russian central bank, which once considered banning all cryptocurrencies, is now open to experimenting with crypto payments for international transactions. In November, Governor Elvira Nabiullina expressed support for such trials, marking a significant policy change.

同時，對加密貨幣的日益依賴反映了俄羅斯監管環境的更廣泛轉變。俄羅斯央行曾考慮禁止所有加密貨幣，現在願意嘗試在國際交易中使用加密貨幣支付。 11 月，州長 Elvira Nabiullina 表示支持此類試驗，標誌著政策的重大變化。
