The State Duma is preparing to consider two bills: on digital financial assets and on regulation of ICO

The bill "On digital financial assets" can be adopted by the State Duma of the Russian Federation in the second reading over the next two weeks, said Deputy Finance Minister Alexei Moiseyev. Reports about it TASS.

"We had a meeting last week … In general, we agreed, now the final text, everyone is watching it … All decisions have been made there, now we are looking at the text, and within two weeks, I hope, we will come out for adoption in the second reading," Moiseev .

In addition, he said that a separate bill would be passed governing the ICO sphere, which was called “On alternative ways to attract investment (crowdfunding)”.

“There will be two laws: the crowdfunding law, including the ICO, and the law on digital financial assets, which will be in the form approximately as it is now prepared for the second reading,” said Moses.

He also stated that the taxation of cryptocurrency activities was not discussed at the aforementioned meeting. At the same time, Moses himself noted that this is “ordinary human activity, it should be regulated like everything else.”

Recall that the second reading of the draft law “On digital financial assets” was to be held in April, but it was forced to postpone it because of FATF requirements .
