Russia has turned to cryptocurrencies to facilitate oil trade with China and India, effectively bypassing Western sanctions in its $192 billion oil trade, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

知情人士告訴路透社，俄羅斯已轉向加密貨幣，以促進與中國和印度的石油貿易，實際上繞開了西方制裁的1920億美元石油貿易。

The country has been slowly moving deeper into the cryptocurrency space. Just this week, the Bank of Russia submitted proposals to create an experimental legal regime (ELR) lasting three years, allowing a “limited group of Russian investors” to trade cryptocurrencies.

該國一直在慢慢進入加密貨幣空間。就在本週，俄羅斯銀行提出了提出的提案，以創建持續三年的實驗法律制度（ELR），允許“有限的俄羅斯投資者”進行加密貨幣。

Some Russian oil firms use bitcoin, ether, and stablecoins such as Tether (USDT) to convert payments made in Chinese yuan and Indian rupees into roubles, the report said. These transactions currently represent a fraction of Russia’s oil trade.

報告稱，一些俄羅斯石油公司使用比特幣，以太和穩定的企業（USDT）將中國人民幣和印度盧比的付款轉換為盧布。這些交易目前是俄羅斯石油貿易的一部分。

Other sanctioned countries, including Iran and Venezuela, have used crypto to maintain trade while avoiding reliance on the U.S. dollar, the dominant currency in global oil markets.

包括伊朗和委內瑞拉在內的其他受制裁的國家也使用加密貨幣來維持貿易，同時避免依賴美元（全球石油市場中的主要貨幣）。

Russia has developed multiple payment systems to navigate sanctions, and crypto is one of several tools the country uses. Fiat currencies remain the primary method used in Russia’s oil transactions, and other workarounds include using currencies such as the United Arab Emirates dirham, Reuters said.

俄羅斯已經開發了多個付款系統來導航制裁，而加密貨幣是該國使用的幾種工具之一。路透社說，法定貨幣仍然是俄羅斯石油交易中使用的主要方法，其他解決方法包括使用阿拉伯聯合酋長國迪拉姆等貨幣。

The report also added that even if sanctions were lifted, Russia would likely keep using crypto in its oil trades as it’s seen as a convenient, flexible tool. The country, meanwhile, is currently looking to get its largest banks to support a digital ruble for retail and commercial use.

該報告還補充說，即使取消了製裁，俄羅斯也可能會繼續在其石油行業中使用加密貨幣，因為它被視為一種方便，靈活的工具。同時，該國目前正在尋求獲得其最大的銀行，以支持數字盧布用於零售和商業用途。

The Bank of Russia said that a ruble-backed central bank digital currency could be used as a tool against sanctions back in 2021.

俄羅斯銀行表示，盧布支持的中央銀行數字貨幣可以在2021年用作抵抗制裁的工具。
