At the "Russia is Calling!" investment forum, Putin rarely stated:
New payment tools, including Bitcoin, are unstoppable.
Putin's original words:
"Bitcoin, who can prohibit it? No one."
"No electronic payment tool can be banned, this is new technology."
"No matter what happens to the dollar, these tools will continue to develop because everyone will strive to reduce costs and improve reliability."
He further pointed out:
If the usage rate of the dollar continues to decline globally, it will directly undermine the foundation of American economic power.
Putin even posed a sharp question:
"If foreign exchange reserves can be so easily confiscated, why accumulate them at all?"
He criticized the U.S. government for weaponizing the dollar as a political tool,
which is precisely driving more and more countries to turn to alternative assets, including cryptocurrencies.
This is also the first time that the Russian president has clearly expressed in public:
The rise of crypto assets is no longer determined by the state, but is a global structural trend.
