RUBT Rate on Tetris Money

🟢 USDT/RUBT (Tetris.Money): 75.98 — Exchange Rate Board
🟢 USDT/RUB (Tokenspot): 76.38
🟢 USD/RUB (Bank of Russia): 76.08
🟢 USD/RUB F: 76.13

🤔 What happened over the last 24 hours? Let’s break down the new drivers as of April 17, 2026:

🟢 Naval blockade and an oil record
The US and CENTCOM continue a full naval blockade of Iranian ports, which has paralyzed traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. A massive inflow of windfall export revenues at these prices is creating a strong foundation for the ruble’s resilience.

🟢 A diplomatic weekend
President Trump stated that the next round of talks with Iran to seek a compromise could take place as early as this weekend (April 18–19). The market is hoping for de-escalation, which is preventing an even sharper decline in the exchange rate, as successful diplomacy could quickly deflate the military premium in oil prices.

🟢 Legalization of digital settlements
The government has submitted a package of bills to the State Duma on the legal regulation of digital currencies. This opens the way for the legal use of stablecoins in cross-border settlements and increases confidence in RUBT as a business tool. Greater sector transparency makes the digital ruble and stablecoins more attractive for bypassing sanctions barriers.

Forecast and Conclusion
The ruble retains the potential to strengthen toward the 75 per dollar target thanks to the blockade in Hormuz and exceptionally high commodity prices. However, all eyes are on the weekend: if the US-Iran talks lead to a breakthrough, oil will start to fall in price, which could trigger a correction in the exchange rate toward 80+.
