Russia is still fluctuation with its cryptocurrency operations. After Russian president Vladimir Putin shared signed the law for cryptocurrency to give it a legal status in the country, there will now be some amends being made on it.
The amends have been proposed by the Russian government, which will put over a “blanket ban on any operations with virtual money for individuals and individual entrepreneurs” except for three scenarios, a local media house reported.
The ministry reportedly wants to ban all crypto transactions except the obtaining of assets through inheritance, bankruptcy and enforcement proceedings.
