Where the reports disagree
1How the 15,000-account figure within the 270,000 total is categorized
Of the 270,000 digital ruble accounts, 15,000 were opened by legal entities, and the rest were opened by individual entrepreneurs.
About 15,000 of the 270,000 accounts concern legal entities and individual entrepreneurs combined.
What would settle it: The Central Bank of Russia's official statement or press release detailing the account breakdown.
What to make of it
Treat the overall total of 270,000 digital ruble accounts and the September 1 launch date as established, but the specific breakdown of the 15,000-account figure is unresolved until the Central Bank of Russia issues a detailed account classification.
