Crypto Industry News:

The Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation has prepared a bill that would allow testing the development of cryptocurrencies and Blockchain in a special regulatory sandbox.

According to a report from a local news agency, the bill was introduced to the State Duma - the lower chamber of the Federal Assembly of Russia - on March 17. Experimental law would apply to digital technologies in eight industries, including healthcare, financial markets, trade, transport, distance education, construction, manufacturing and government services.

The bill would unlock experimental testing of projects such as unmanned vehicles, remote diagnostics, and the use of personal data without written permission.

Participants in a regulatory sandbox would receive regulatory relief for minimum capital, reserve funds and reporting. According to the report, sandbox users would also be exempt from national foreign exchange law.

According to the ministry, the Bank of Russia will act as a financial market regulator within the regulatory sandbox. The bank declined to comment whether it supports the Ministry's initiative.

This message appears shortly after the Executive Director of the Bank of Russia announced that national laws on digital assets will prohibit the issuance and circulation of cryptocurrencies. According to the official, the Russian bill on digital financial assets would prohibit almost anything about cryptography, except storage. This project was delayed several times after its introduction in January 2018. President Vladimir Putin ordered immediate adoption of the bill twice since its creation - to no avail.
