The Central Bank of the Russian Federation: a bill on cryptocurrencies can be adopted during the spring session

The Bank of Russia believes that the law “On digital financial assets” will be adopted already during the spring session. This was stated by the first deputy chairman of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation Olga Skorobogatova, reports TASS.

She noted that the document is already sufficiently developed, and therefore the State Duma, most likely, will pass the law.

“The law on digital financial assets, on crowdfunding, etc., all these bills are in a fairly high degree of readiness. Colleagues from the State Duma committees are very helpful, we expect that these laws can be passed during the spring session, ”Skorobogatova said.

The representative of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation also stressed that such laws "are extremely important for the country and will provide an opportunity to implement new projects."

Recall that the State Duma of the Russian Federation in the first reading approved the draft law “On digital financial assets” last year. Subsequently, the terms “cryptocurrency”, “token” and “mining” were excluded from it .

In addition, in November it was reported that, according to the amendments to the document, the CBR will regulate all operations with cryptoactive assets.

We also note recently that the Chairman of the Committee on the Financial Market of the Lower House of Parliament, Anatoly Aksakov, said that the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF) still insists on the inclusion of the concept of cryptocurrency in the bill, as a result of which the consideration of the document was postponed.
