OREANDA-NEWS The SimpleWine Federal wine store chain has released digital financial assets (CFAs) backed by premium wine. The release volume was 100 million rubles. About this  was reported in the company's press service.

Russians will be able to invest in premium wine with two possible benefits. To do this, it is necessary to purchase a digital asset, during which the investor will be able to purchase the wine assigned to him at a discount of up to 40 percent or receive money with a yield of 13.5 percent per annum at the end of a fixed period. The CFA is valid for 6 months, starting on February 12.

The investor will be able to pick up the wine at one of SimpleWine's Moscow outlets from March 12 to June 12 by selecting the appropriate option in the personal account of the application. If the CFA owner does not do this, on August 12, his asset will be automatically repaid with a fixed income.

The company believes that due to this format, the financial instrument will be of interest to both private investors and consumers.

Each CFA is cost-linked to one bottle from a specially selected range. The security portfolio consists of eight red collectible wines from Italy and France in the premium segment. Their cost ranges from 8,990 to 514,990 rubles per copy, including a discount.

Earlier it was reported that the volume of CFA issues on the Sberbank digital asset platform in 2025 reached 408 billion rubles, which is 5.6 times more than in 2024 (73 billion), and 204 times more than in 2023 (2 billion). In January 2026, new CFAs were issued for 231 billion rubles, more than half of last year's volume in just one month.
