According to Siluanov, his department and the regulator have different positions on the legalization of cryptocurrencies. The Ministry of Finance advocates, in general, for the regulation of the cryptocurrency space. The leadership of the department believes that it is necessary to ban certain cryptocurrency operations, but others should be completely legalized.
“We believe that it is necessary to ban something by law, settlements and other various operations, but something needs to be legalized. From this we will get more and more in development, including this market. While we are in discussions about this, ”said Anton Siluanov.
Earlier, the Ministry of Finance of Russia prepared an amendment to Article 14 of the Law “On Digital Financial Assets”, which prohibits the organization of the circulation of digital currency.
