Rusia respinge interdicția criptografică și optează pentru o foaie de parcurs de reglementare

Agențiile din Rusia sunt în favoarea unei foi de parcurs de reglementare a criptomonedei, mai degrabă decât a unei interdicții generale, așa cum se temea săptămâna trecută.

Russia Favors Regulation

Authorities in Russia have put forward a plan to restrict and regulate the trading and mining of cryptocurrencies without imposing an outright ban on the industry, according to Reuters.

The roadmap sets out various deadlines. By May, Russia wants to have in place a compliance platform for peer-to-peer transactions. By November, it aims to be using anti-money laundering guidelines recommended by the Financial Action Task Force. And by the end of 2022, it should have registration rules for crypto exchanges in place.

The document also suggests punishments for businesses operating in the country that fail to disclose their crypto transactions. It may even go as far as to mandate that Russian citizens report all crypto asset holdings.

The roadmap has reportedly been fully embraced by the agencies involved in its design and has been signed by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.

President Vladimir Putin is likely to support the proposed roadmap. Last week, Putin opus a ban on cryptocurrencies put forward by the Bank of Russia, stating that the central bank “should not stand in our way of technological progress.” He also suggested that Russia could maintain a competitive advantage in crypto mining due to its power surplus, assuming the industry is regulated and taxed.

Banca Centrală pledează în continuare pentru o interdicție

Russia’s regulation roadmap appears more favorable to the crypto industry than the previous overarching ban proposed by the Bank of Russia săptămâna trecută.

At that time, Russia’s central bank called for a ban on cryptocurrency transactions, citing concerns over financial stability. It has also called for a ban on crypto mining due to the environmental impact of the energy-intensive process. The bank additionally pushed for financial institutions to be forbidden from investing in crypto assets. 

Banca Rusiei și-a exprimat familiaritatea cu foaia de parcurs dezvăluită astăzi. Cu toate acestea, a cerut restricții mai puternice, afirmând că „it is necessary to prepare a federal law, establishing a ban… [and] also to determine liability for violating this ban.”

TȘefa de stabilitate financiară a băncii, Elizaveta Danilova, a adăugat că banca nu își propune să interzică deținerea de criptomonede.

Banca Rusiei nu poate implementa singură recomandările pe care le-a propus, ceea ce înseamnă că trebuie să continue să negocieze cu alte agenții ruse în lunile următoare.

Dezvăluire: La momentul scrierii, autorul acestei piese deținea BTC, ETH și alte câteva criptomonede.
