The State Duma at the beginning of 2023 will consider the possibility of adopting a bill on cross-border payments in cryptocurrencies. In the spring and summer, a Russian crypto exchange may appear so that the circulation of digital currencies goes through the Russian infrastructure. Anatoly Aksakov, chairman of the State Duma committee on the financial market, told Izvestia about this.
Now the document is under consideration in the State Duma, it is being discussed. The main criticism is that in this way there is a risk of opening a channel for the uncontrolled legal withdrawal of capital from the Russian Federation, said Anatoly Aksakov.
Deputies propose to prescribe additional rules to eliminate such a danger. These amendments can be submitted to a second reading, the official said.
According to him, there are risks that after the legalization of transactions with “crypto” they may try to limit them with sanctions. However, the digital market is designed in such a way that it is impossible to seriously influence such transactions.
- At the end of November, a draft law on the regulation of mining and cryptocurrencies was submitted to the State Duma, which was later criticized by the Russian crypto community.
- In October, Finance Ministry spokesman Ivan Chebeskov noted the need to allow Russian companies to make international payments in cryptocurrencies. At the same time, he stressed that the country should create its own reliable cryptographic infrastructure.
