a year ago

Russia has turned to cryptocurrencies to facilitate its oil trade with China and India, aiming to bypass Western sanctions.

Russia Expands Cryptocurrency Usage in Oil Trade

Russia has started using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether USDT to convert Chinese yuan into rubles, circumventing sanctions.

Sources claim that Russia is increasingly adopting cryptocurrencies in its oil trade as part of Moscow's strategy to bypass US sanctions.

Cryptocurrency Procedures in Trade Deals

Cryptocurrencies are used to ease exchanges between the Indian rupee, Chinese yuan, and Russian ruble. Through intermediaries, yuan is converted into cryptocurrency and then transferred to a Russian entity for conversion into rubles.

Other Countries Follow Russia's Example

Iran and Venezuela have also started adopting cryptocurrency for oil payments to bypass sanctions. The US and Europe have stepped up efforts to clamp down on Russia's crypto activities.

The use of cryptocurrency in oil trade is becoming an alternative for countries facing sanctions, posing challenges to international financial systems.
