Russian government and central bank agree on cryptocurrency regulation, treat crypto assets as currency analogues

The Russian government and the central bank have agreed on the future regime for the circulation of cryptocurrencies in Russia: by February 18, they will prepare a draft law on the circulation of digital currencies in the Russian Federation, in which cryptocurrencies are considered currency analogues, not digital Financial assets (DFA). They can only be circulated if fully identified through the banking system or a licensed intermediary. Transactions of such amounts outside the legal sector will become a criminal offense and there will be fines for illegally accepting cryptocurrencies as a means of payment. It is likely that at least some of the new rules will come into effect in the second half of 2022 or from 2023 onwards. Evasion of reporting transactions with cryptocurrencies will become a criminal offence. (Russian Kommersant)
