According to a recent report by the Russian news service Interfax, the Russian Ministry of Finance considers allowing sale and purchase of cryptocurrencies in the country. Russia has traditionally taken a hard stand against the idea of cryptocurrency trading. Russia had passed a bill prohibiting the use of crypto assets as a means of payment in May of last year.
Just this month, in response to Facebook launching its long-awaited cryptocurrency Libra, Russia completely rejected the idea of it operating in the country. However, there is a new legislature expected to define the standards to follow for cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrency exchanges in the country. According to The Deputy Minister of Finance Alexei Moiseyev, Russia might be considering allowing cryptocurrency trading. However, he also stated that the Ministry has yet to reach a final decision on the matter. He was talking to journalists on Friday.
