ST. PETERSBURG, July 6. /TASS/. Sberbank plans to set up an internal blockchain integrator implementing IT solutions in the blockchain technology sphere, executive director of its corporate and investment banking arm Sberbank CIB Sergey Polikanov said on Thursday.

"We have plans to set up our own blockchain integrator that will make proprietary industrial IT solutions and we will be able to offer them to the banking community," Polikanov said.

Regulatory documents on the blockchain technology may appear by the end of this year, the banker said.
