Западные профессиональные площадки финтеха продолжают следить за развитием сюжета с крипторегуливанием в России - разрешат ли легальный майнинг? Введут ли стейблкоины, привязанные к рублю? Создадут ли локальные криптобиржи? Перейдут ли к расчётам в биткоинах по внешнеторговым контрактам в обход санкций?
"Earlier this year, the Bank of Russia – the central banking institution of the largest country by landmass – reiterated its negative stance on the crypto sector. It called it a pyramid scheme that could undermine the sovereignty of monetary policy and threaten the local financial network. As such, it urged the local government to impose a blanket ban on all cryptocurrency endeavors on Russian territory.
On the contrary, several institutions, including the Finance Ministry, opined that regulating the asset class is the preferable step to adopt. At one point, even President Vladimir Putin joined the discussions, saying Russia could benefit from the industry, and more specifically, from the mining sector.
According to a local report, the latest opinion comes from the State Duma. The working group of 50 experts from the government body suggested that Russia should impose “clear regulation for the digital assets.”
Among the most important rules that need to be implemented are enhanced Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures, further protection for investors, and monitoring if crypto is employed in illicit activities, State Duma outlined. The experts noted that similar legislation already exists in other countries, and Russia should not fall behind.
On the other hand, the Lower House of Parliament is strongly against the China-style prohibition of everything crypto (the idea that the Bank of Russia proposed)."
