According to Rossiyskaya Gazeta, the Russian Social Fund announced that the unified contact center of the agency handled approximately 37 million requests in 2025. Most inquiries revolved around emerging issues in the context of increasing cryptocurrency adoption, especially questions about whether pensions can be paid in digital currency or not, and whether income from mining activities is considered when determining social security benefits.
In response to these concerns, the Russian Social Fund officially clarified: all pensions and social benefits are paid exclusively in rubles, in accordance with current regulations. Regarding cryptocurrencies, including income from (mining) activities, tax issues and digital asset management are not within the jurisdiction of the Social Fund, but are overseen by the Federal Tax Service of Russia. This information aims to help the public understand the boundaries between social security policies and digital asset management.
