The position of the Bank of Russia in relation to cryptocurrencies has been known for a long time and it is the toughest among all regulators, and therefore there is nothing unexpected in the report presented by the central bank. This was stated by the head of the State Duma Committee on the financial Market Anatoly Aksakov, writes " Lenta.<url>".
He stressed that the report of the Central Bank is not a final document on the issue of regulating the industry in Russia, but creates an additional opportunity for discussions.
The official added that there is no consensus on this issue in the State Duma. According to him, a consensus will be reached in at least six months.
Additional discussion is needed on the use of the Russian infrastructure for operations with digital assets:
"On the one hand, we understand that we need to minimize risks, especially for unskilled investors. On the other hand, the market is developing, and it is obvious that one day it will acquire more civilized content, " he said.
On January 20, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation presented a report in which it proposed to ban the circulation of cryptocurrencies and mining on the territory of the Russian Federation.
Experts said that such an initiative is guaranteed to provoke an outflow of specialists and revenues to the economy, and criticized the arguments of the Central Bank in favor of banning mining.
In December, Aksakov said that the Russian authorities are discussing various options for regulating the bitcoin industry-from a complete ban on the ownership and purchase of crypto assets to the legalization of bitcoin exchanges.
