What preceded it? Earlier, the Central Bank of Russia instructed financial institutions to increase oversight of cryptocurrency-related transactions. According to the decree, transactions involving digital assets should not violate Russia’s retaliatory sanctions against countries that have imposed economic restrictions on Russians.
