This bank that is supported by government and the areas of its atcivites are project management, financing and so on. Acording to Coindesk article this strategy announced by Sergey Gorkov the chairman of the bank:
"When we started to think about how to manage projects efficiently, we realized that there is no platform. Everything that we had became obsolete. We realized that the blockchain is a good fundamental and qualitative platform for the future."
I think these events will empower more and more the future of cryptocurrencies, blockchain and also Bitcoin.
