What did Krasnov report? According to the head of the Prosecutor General's Office, the number of crimes committed through financial technologies is increasing in Russia. Krasnov believes this is because of gaps in
the legal regulation of the virtual asset market. “The status of online platforms providing an opportunity to buy and sell cryptocurrency anonymously is still not defined, the issue of classifying virtual assets as property, for the purposes of criminal proceedings, has not been resolved. We have proactively prepared the relevant bill,” he stressed.
What had happened before? On January 1, 2021, the law “On Digital Financial Assets” came into force in Russia. It recognizes cryptocurrencies as property and prohibits using them to pay for goods and services within the country.
