Continuing the discussion around regulation and the size of the payments market in Russia, I’d like to share a major piece published by BeInCrypto 🎯

Together with leading experts from the Russian market, including Andrey Tugarin, Greg K, Dmitry Machikhin, Elizaveta Lobuteva, Vladimir Gorgadze, Max Lighter, we explored how things actually work today in practice:
→ foreign trade and cross-border payments
→ payments between residents and non-residents
→ alternative payment routes
→ the experimental regime
→ settlements using digital assets
→ current limitations, risks, and possible market development scenarios

In practice, behind the terms “cross-border payments”, “crypto-fiat infrastructure”, and “alternative rails” lies a highly complex operational reality:
• not yet fully shaped from a regulatory perspective,
• already functioning in practice,
• generating real revenue,
but still extremely unclear for those who are only beginning to study this market.

This is exactly why it is important to discuss not only “what may be possible in theory”, but how it actually works in the market today.

For everyone working in payments, crypto-fiat infrastructure, banking infrastructure, or simply following how cross-border settlements are being reshaped — I’m sharing the article here.

Would be curious to hear your thoughts: how do you see the future of cross-border payments in Russia — through banks, digital assets, experimental regimes, or a hybrid model
