The majority (53%) are neutral about the possibility of making the digital ruble a new means of payment. 47% are ready to use the asset to pay for goods and services.
15% of respondents are not ready to interact with the digital ruble. The main reasons are the risks of fraud, misunderstanding of the mechanism of use and distrust of digital currency, respondents said.
