Russia is pursuing a strict policy on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies but finds blockchain useful.
Russian Alfa bank BaaS platform will implement Waves Blockchain system in collaboration with C5 Retail Group.

“Practically every case is unique in big business, every client is special, and customization is a must. Clients are constantly evolving and optimizing in-house processes. The key difference between DTCM and other offers available on the market is that we give our client not just a channel to send orders to the bank. But, we give ways to shape up business logic of the product — and actually ‘create a bank’ for the client’s convenience.”
