Russia’s blockchain consortium will initially incorporate five banks along with the project’s initiator, payments processor QIWI, and the Bank of Russia as a regulator.

According to TASS, speaking at an informal meeting during the Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum, QIWI CEO Sergey\u00c2\u00a0Solonin said:<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u015bWe’ve already announced a consortium. There’ll be something next week. In technological terms, I mean. There’ll be a new picture, the central bank will announce it. It’s not about security, it’s about new technologies of using blockchain in banking.\u00e2\u20ac\u0165<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

QIWI has first announced its take on R3 in late May. Back then, it was announced that QIWI’s consortium would welcome Sberbank, Binbank and Aplha Bank.<\/p>\n

The decision was primarily justified by the international sanctions<\/a> imposed on Russia by the EU and the US.<\/p>\n

Earlier Sergey\u00c2\u00a0Solonin announced that QIWI failed to agree the bitruble project with the Bank of Russia. The project was underway since last September.<\/p>\n
