Sberbank of Russia

Sberbank plans to accept Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH) and Tether (USDT) as collateral for loans, deputy chairman Anatoly Popov said, but only as security and not as a means of payment. The move is conditional on the Bank of Russia allowing the coins for public circulation; Russia’s new law still bans crypto for domestic payments.

Sberbank provided no loan‑to‑value, interest rates or launch date and must manage volatility and liquidation risk if borrowers default. » Mere på finance.yahoo.com
