This was reported by Izvestia, citing statements by Anatoly Aksakov, head of the State Duma Committee on Financial Markets.

In the proposed bill, cryptocurrencies are banned from being used as a means of payment and all transactions with digital assets should be conducted through Russian banks with full user verification. The investors in cryptocurrencies are planned to be divided into qualified and unqualified.
