Crypto Industry News:
According to a Russian television station, a bill was passed to the parliament by which crypto trade could be completely outlawed. Thanks to the act, the Russians could also regulate digital assets to the detriment of their owners.
Federal Assembly members propose severe penalties for using cryptocurrencies. These regulations suggest a fine of 500,000 to 2 million rubles for users who make large profits on electronic currency, while those who use crypto for illegal activities could be sent to prison for up to 7 years. Although the bill does not prohibit the complete use of digital assets, analysts believe that approval of this idea by the government will cause that running stock exchanges and trading on the fiat-crypto line through any Russian financial institution will be a violation of the law.
One should remember about the recent change in the position of the Russian authorities towards the crypto industry, where the Russian Central Bank published a bill prohibiting the issue of cryptocurrencies, citing the threat associated with them.
Recently, the Russian Federal Ministry of Economic Development has submitted a draft of another law, this time enabling the legalization of cryptocurrencies and all solutions based on blockchain technology. However, its introduction would be based on special regulations. This would mean that the Russian Central Bank would be the only body regulating this sector, which would significantly reduce the crypto industry in Russia.
