Russia\u2019s central bank, along with the directive of the nation\u2019s president, Vladimir Putin, has <\/span>submitted<\/span> proposals to the government to allow a limited group of local investors to buy and sell cryptocurrencies. <\/span><\/p>\n According to the announcement<\/a>, the initiative could first be in a three-year experimental regime.<\/span><\/p>\n The banking institution\u2019s idea is to enable crypto trading for only those Russian investors who have at least 100 million rubles (or $1.1 million) in securities and deposits or whose<\/span>\u00a0annual income in the previous year exceeded 50 million rubles (approximately $570,000).<\/span><\/p>\n The proposal allows entities categorized as qualified investors under current legislation to participate<\/span>\u00a0in the experiment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Bank of Russia also aims to establish <\/span>certain<\/span> regulatory requirements for financial organizations willing to adopt cryptocurrency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The introduction of<\/span> this regime could increase market transparency, offer more opportunities for experienced investors who are open to taking on higher risks, and establish clear standards.<\/span><\/p>\n In the past, Russia\u2019s central bank has repeatedly warned that cryptocurrencies are not issued or guaranteed by any jurisdiction and are notorious for their enhanced volatility. As such, investors should <\/span>be aware<\/span> that entering the ecosystem might result in crucial losses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The banking institution still does not recognize the asset class as a means of payment. That said, it proposed banning transactions between residents involving cryptocurrencies outside the experimental regime and enforcing penalties for violating this rule.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n On the other hand, multiple\u00a0reports<\/a> have emerged since Russia\u2019s \u2018special military operation\u2019 against Ukraine that started over three years ago that local firms, as well as the government, are using crypto to bypass Western sanctions.<\/span><\/p>\n LIMITED OFFER for CryptoPotato readers at Bybit: Use this link<\/a> to register and open a $500 FREE position on any coin!<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
