New Twist: Sberbank Launches Bitcoin-Linked Bonds
Sberbank has issued bonds worth 500 million rubles, the income of which depends on the Bitcoin exchange rate. Yes, that's right — the yield is directly tied to BTC, but everything is structured strictly according to the rules, in rubles and without cryptocurrency wallets.
• How does it work? If Bitcoin rises, the income from the bonds rises as well. If the dollar also appreciates against the ruble — it's a double bonus.
• For whom? For now, only for qualified investors, but the bank is already aiming for a listing on the Moscow Exchange.
• Why is this needed in the market? This is a way to provide access to the crypto market for those who are not ready to take on the risks of direct ownership of tokens.
🔍 Interesting Fact: This is the first product with BTC-linked income in Russia after the strict restrictions imposed by the Central Bank on direct cryptocurrency ownership in 2025.
❓ Would you invest in Bitcoin-linked bonds?
Most likely, this will not significantly influence the price of BTC — the volume is small, but the mere fact of launching such securities could be an important precedent for the legalization of crypto products in traditional finance. A neutral-positive signal.
