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.

知情人士告诉路透社，俄罗斯已转向加密货币，以促进与中国和印度的石油贸易，实际上绕开了西方制裁的1920亿美元石油贸易。

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.

该国一直在慢慢进入加密货币空间。就在本周，俄罗斯银行提出了提出的提案，以创建持续三年的实验法律制度（ELR），允许“有限的俄罗斯投资者”进行加密货币。

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.

报告称，一些俄罗斯石油公司使用比特币，以太和稳定的企业（USDT）将中国人民币和印度卢比的付款转换为卢布。这些交易目前是俄罗斯石油贸易的一部分。

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.

包括伊朗和委内瑞拉在内的其他受制裁的国家也使用加密货币来维持贸易，同时避免依赖美元（全球石油市场中的主要货币）。

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.

俄罗斯已经开发了多个付款系统来导航制裁，而加密货币是该国使用的几种工具之一。路透社说，法定货币仍然是俄罗斯石油交易中使用的主要方法，其他解决方法包括使用阿拉伯联合酋长国迪拉姆等货币。

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.

该报告还补充说，即使取消了制裁，俄罗斯也可能会继续在其石油行业中使用加密货币，因为它被视为一种方便，灵活的工具。同时，该国目前正在寻求获得其最大的银行，以支持数字卢布用于零售和商业用途。

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

俄罗斯银行表示，卢布支持的中央银行数字货币可以在2021年用作抵抗制裁的工具。
