Russian President Vladimir Putin has enacted a new law to create experimental legal frameworks aimed at advancing digital technologies, with a strong emphasis on cryptocurrencies in international trade. This legislation permits adjustments to existing laws to enable cryptocurrency transactions, particularly for cross-border trade, and designates the Bank of Russia to oversee pilot projects related to digital currencies.
The legislation mandates that any experimental legal regime involving digital currencies must receive approval from the Russian Finance Ministry, the Federal Security Service, and Rosfinmonitoring. Additionally, the law enables adjustments to rules concerning the deposit insurance system, the Bank of Russia’s payment system, and consumer loan dispute resolutions.
Furthermore, on the same day, Putin signed a separate bill regulating cryptocurrency mining in Russia, which is expected to come into effect later this year. This legislation marks a significant step in Russia’s approach to integrating cryptocurrencies into its financial system, with the first transactions under this regime potentially occurring by the end of the year.
