The head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Denis Manturov, said that cryptocurrency in Russia can be legalized as a means of payment
Legalization of cryptocurrency in Russia is a matter of time. This opinion was expressed by the Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov.
“The question is when it will happen, how it will happen and how it will be regulated. Now both the Central Bank and the government are actively engaged in this. But everyone is inclined to understand that this is a trend of the time, and sooner or later, in one format or another, this will be carried out. But, once again, it should be legal, correct, in accordance with the rules that will be formulated, “the minister said, speaking at the educational marathon “New Horizons”.
Recently, the legislative framework in the field of mining and crypto-currency assets is being developed at an accelerated pace. Currently, the State Duma Committee on the Financial Market is considering a bill on mining, and on May 17, the State Duma in the first reading adopted a bill on the taxation of CFAs.
