🇷🇺💳 Russia is gearing up to test the waters of biometric payments on a grand scale! Sber, the country's largest bank, and NSPK, the operator of the Mir card payment system, are set to launch a unified facial payment network.
This initiative aims to create a national biometric standard, allowing all Russian banks to join in and issue terminals for seamless payment processing. 🏦 Dmitry Malykh from Sber announced that the network is expected to launch in the second half of 2025.
Currently, the facial payment process is cumbersome, with users limited to registering their biometric data through specific banking apps. But once the new system is live, customers will enjoy interoperability, enabling payments at any facial terminal after registering their data with any bank app!
Sber plans to deploy this tech across 2 million terminals, potentially covering 50% of all banking terminals in Russia! 🚀 This rollout, backed by the Central Bank of Russia, could also open doors for innovative use cases, like age verification for restricted purchases and automated hotel check-ins.
What do you think about the future of biometric payments? Let us know!
🚨 BREAKING 🚨

Saudi crown prince agrees to invest
$600 BILLION in the United States.
Now Money is coming into U.S not
going out, this is the power of Trump.
Robert Kiyosaki just sounded off on TRUMP coin while staying ultra-bullish on bitcoin! 🪙
He’s ditching the hype around meme coins and reaffirmed his bold prediction: bitcoin to $250K in 2025. 💥
While TRUMP and MELANIA coins stumbled after their debut, BTC remains Kiyosaki’s long-term bet.
Are we on the verge of bitcoin’s breakout, or will meme coins steal the show?
Cheap, not Trump, is why European stocks are spiking, says @johnauthers. But the gut-punch from the new administration might be what the Old World needs https://t.co/2FTeLoXiF5
🚨 TRUMP & MELANIA tokens under attack! 🚨
Fraudsters are draining wallets with fake sites, tricking users into sharing seed phrases. Over 10 scams are riding the memecoin hype, leaving holders at massive risk. Scammers are cashing in.
Is this the future of crypto or a scammer’s dream? Would you trust a celebrity-backed coin?
“AI can not crack bitcoin”, says @ElonMusk
“We see no way for artificial intelligence to subvert the fundamentals of mathematics and hash bitcoin easily. AI can not defy fundamental math. It can improve the efficiency of hashing, but not crack it”
#xrp is currently up 32% from the 10th December 2024 1.618 ABC.
$xrp looks as though it has broken out, unless we see a throwback into the pattern, the next big target is a test of the all-time high and a technical target that I have sell orders at!!
STAY TUNED!!
The $AICC token launch rewarded those who were able to participate from an entry of 0.5 Sol to around $250K - but the catch is only 240 or so people were allowed. 🚫
Now onchain analysis by @andyyy shows that @TrustlessState@bankless dumped all their tokens on launch day for a sweet profit. 💰
David Hoffman responded: "Agree that Bankless Ventures should not be selling tokens - that was an impulsive mistake. We have repurchased all the tokens that were sold…" 🤦♂️
What do you think about this situation?
Russia is making moves on crypto! 🇷🇺
The Bank of Russia now requires registration for foreign trade deals using digital rights like crypto and tokenized securities.
This is about control—but also about crypto’s rise in the global game. 💹
New rules mean tighter oversight, safer systems, and crypto integration into Russia’s finance laws. But why now?
Are we witnessing a global crypto power grab? 👀
🚀 VC funding filled the ICO void in Web3, but critics argue it favors the big guys.
Griff Green of General Magic (US 🇺🇸) thinks VCs played a role, but also created gatekeepers! Now communities chase airdrops & yield farming.
Is there a better way? Green says yes! We need a system for broader participation & long-term success, not just quick flips!
