🚨 RUSSIANS WANT PENSIONS IN CRYPTO
A major trend emerged in 2025 as Russia’s Social Fund received 37M calls, with citizens now demanding pensions in Crypto instead of Rubles.
The Demand: Callers asked if pensions could be paid in $BTC and if mining income would count toward social benefits.
Govt Stance: Currently, all payments remain in Rubles, crypto taxes are managed by the Federal Tax Service.
Russia is now Europe’s top crypto market, seeing a $376B inflow last year.
