Russia to impose cryptocurrency restrictions, exempting miners and central bank projects
Russia will implement cryptocurrency restrictions, exempting miners and central bank projects. Starting from September 1st, Russia will impose strict restrictions on the circulation of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, only allowing the issuance of digital financial assets within its jurisdiction. Anatoly Aksakov, Chairman of the Financial Market Committee of the State Duma, led this initiative. This is part of a wider government effort to control the cryptocurrency ecosystem in the face of escalating geopolitical tensions. Aksakov stated that the upcoming legislation aims to restrict non-Russian cryptocurrency transactions to strengthen the dominance of the ruble. Meanwhile, recent reports indicate that Russian entities have used cryptocurrencies, particularly Tether's USDT, to purchase key components for military technology.
