Post by: Redaktion on January 20, 2022, 16:56:20
The Russian Central Bank has come up with its own set of proposals to add to the Parliament's working group on crypto regulation that was formed back in December. The head of Bank of Russia's Financial Stability Department presented a report that essentially suggests a full ban on crypto payments, mining, and transactions in the country.

Totalitarian regime tries to control decentralised currency. What a surprise.

QuoteRussian oil won't be priced in crypto anytime soon
If they get cut off from SWIFT after invading Ukraine it may be the only option.

Also it is funny they did not even try to forbid owning crypto assets. Almost as if it was impossible to enforce.
