In addition to Tether, companies transacting through the Exved system can use the U.S. dollar and the offshore ruble, the platform said.
One of Russia’s first cross-border payment platforms has officially announced its launch and says it will facilitate local legal entities to process international settlements in cryptocurrency.
Exved, a local digital settlement platform — which describes itself as a “digital counterparty search system” — announced the launch on Dec. 7, stating that Russian importers and exporters can now use its business-to-business solution to simplify the process of “foreign exchange operations and foreign economic activity.”
The Exved platform specifically allows one to proceed with cross-border transactions using the Tether (USDT) stablecoin alongside the offshore ruble and the United States dollar, the announcement reads.
