What statements were made? The main message is that cryptocurrencies should be regulated, not banned. According to Putin, about 6 million Russian citizens own cryptocurrency worth several trillion Russian rubles, and this money should remain with them. The president stressed that the field of digital assets attracts young and promising professionals, and Russia should create a favorable microclimate for such innovative projects.
As for mining, Russia currently ranks third in the world, and this position cannot be lost either. Putin stressed that the country has a surplus of electricity, which can be used to mine cryptocurrencies on a competitive basis. Commenting on the dispute between the central bank, the Ministry of Finance, and the State Duma regarding the ban on cryptocurrencies and mining, Vladimir Putin instructed all parties to reach a consensus and come to joint unified market regulation rules.
