In June 2025, Sberbank, one of Russia’s largest banks, announced the issuance of 500 million rubles of structured bonds pegged to the price of Bitcoin. This move marked the first Bitcoin bond issuance in the country’s history, signaling the growing integration of cryptocurrencies into the traditional financial system. Investors will be able to receive income based on the dynamics of the Bitcoin price in dollars and the growth of the dollar-ruble exchange rate, without the need to open a crypto wallet or use foreign platforms.
This financial instrument opens up new opportunities for investors seeking to diversify their portfolios without delving into the complexities of the crypto market. Sberbank emphasizes that such bonds provide a convenient and safe way to invest in digital assets. The bank's decision also reflects a global trend: countries and financial institutions are increasingly exploring the potential of blockchain and cryptocurrencies.
Experts believe that this move could stimulate interest in Bitcoin in Russia and contribute to the development of the local crypto sector. At the same time, it is a signal to other banks about the need to adapt to new realities.
