They will be available for purchase by legal entities — qualified investors in relation to DFA. Sberbank representatives told CNews about this.
A total of up to two thousand DFAs will be issued. The purchase price of 1 DFA upon issue is five thousand rubles, the maximum possible yield to maturity will be 4%. If the launch of the spacecraft is successful, the investor will receive 5.2 thousand rubles for 1 DFA, if the launch is assigned the status of “emergency” or “partially successful” – 200 rubles. If the launch from the cosmodrome is canceled or postponed until after the end of the DFA circulation period, investors will receive five thousand and one ruble for each DFA.

Anatoly Popov, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Sberbank: “The first issue of “space” digital financial assets is timed to coincide with September 11. On this day, the Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle with the Soyuz MS-26 manned spacecraft will be launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome to the International Space Station. Digital financial assets are a completely new tool for the Russian insurance market. It is very symbolic that the first issue in this area is related to space, since the most breakthrough and progressive technologies are associated with its development. Digital financial assets are also progress in the financial sector. Our digital asset platform is currently gaining momentum and attracting more and more Russian companies representing various industries.”
