What arguments did the deputy give? According to Lugovoy, the authorities will not impose such harsh measures as a ban on working with cryptocurrencies. Currently, only the Central Bank is taking such an initiative, but no real proposals have been sent to the State Duma.
“Talking about any possibility of allowing a ban at the moment is pointless. There are different points of view, which should come to some common understanding in the course of the discussion,” the deputy concluded.
What had happened before? On February 11, was mentioned that the Russian government decided not to consider bitcoin as a virtual asset, but to equate it with foreign currencies. By February 18, the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Russia should prepare a bill on the circulation of cryptocurrencies.
