Russia\u2019s largest bank, Sber, plans to accept USDT and Ether alongside Bitcoin as loan collateral as the country introduces regulated crypto trading under a new law.<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s largest bank, Sber, plans to expand its crypto-backed lending to accept Tether\u2019s USDt stablecoin and Ether as collateral alongside Bitcoin, according to a senior executive.<\/p>\n

Sber will adapt its existing products and gradually expand its offerings as Russia\u2019s new crypto law takes effect, Deputy Chairman Anatoly Popov said, according<\/a> to a Friday TASS report.
