Privately-Owned Alfa-Bank Sets Up Digital Asset Platform With Central Bank’s Permission

Russia’s Alfa-Bank has launched ‘A-Token,’ a platform allowing the issuance of digital financial assets (DFAs), the business news portal RBC reported, quoting its Director of Innovation Denis Dodon. The bank was able to do so after the Bank of Russia најавила its registration as a DFA issuer on Thursday.

The authorization makes Alfa-Bank, which is the country’s biggest private bank, the second-largest banking institution that can mint digital coins, after the state-owned Sberbank, which is the largest bank in the Russian Federation in terms of assets.

The list of licensees also includes the fintech company Светионик, which is cooperating with VTB bank, and the tokenization service Атомизе, which is working in partnership with Rosbank. These have already issued various digital assets. Sberbank is preparing to launch a дефи платформа као добро.

Alfa-Bank plans to issue its own DFAs on the new platform, with a pilot release scheduled for the end of February. It also wants to provide its infrastructure to other market participants. The bank hopes to work with both investment companies and private investors and A-Token will be accessible through its mobile app.

Dodon further explained that the platform will issue two types of financial instruments — DFAs equivalent to traditional financial instruments in the form of monetary claims and entirely new investment instruments, including tokenized physical assets such as precious metals.

Alfa-Bank announced its intentions to create an infrastructure for DFAs in September, 2022. Their issuance in Russia is regulated by the law “On Digital Financial Assets” which went into force in January, 2021. While this legislation is mostly devoted to digital assets that have an issuer, Russian authorities have been also developing a правни оквир for decentralized cryptocurrencies like bitcoin.

Крипто плаћања have been considered in Moscow as a way to circumvent Western financial restrictions imposed over the war in Ukraine and a дигитална рубља is also in the making. Both Alfa-Bank and Sberbank have been placed under санкције by the U.S. Treasury Department and Russian access to crypto assets has been мети од стране Европске уније.
