During the discussion of economic issues, Vladimir Putin proposed discussing the introduction of digital currencies and other digital assets in Russia.
It ensures the development of digital assets both within the country and in foreign trade. To date, more than 27 thousand transfers and 7 thousand payments for services have already been made using ruble blocks – it is time to move on to faster implementation, the head of the country noted.
In addition, Putin noted that in Russia, cryptocurrency mining accounts for 1.5% of the country’s total energy consumption, and this figure continues to grow.
He suggested moving to urgent state regulation of cryptocurrency mining. If the relevant decisions are not made at the federal government level, the country may experience an electricity shortage. [ТАСС]
