Russia has not yet adopted a basic law on the regulation of cryptocurrency circulation.

For Russia (or any other state for that matter) that's not necessarily a bad thing. It allows them to selectively enforce their laws, which they seem to have been doing for a couple of years now. It's a tough environment for businesses to operate in since they don't know where the 'boundaries' are as to what is allowed and what not, but hey, that's the environment they chose to operate in anyway, so they likely accept the risks tied to that.

I only think states will rush to deploy a clear regulatory framework when they know there is something to lose, and to be honest, I don't think there is much to lose right now. People act like crypto is that new revolutionary thing that will change the world, but thus far it hasn't changed much apart from people's hunger for more profit. Crypto is one big casino.

I think China is more successful here. They've came up with plans about digital yuan and so on.
The Russian government have no idea about cryptocurrencies. All they seek for is absolutely regulated market for getting more wealth for themselves.

Russia has not yet adopted a basic law on the regulation of cryptocurrency circulation. First you need to adopt this law, and only then solve all other secondary issues. This is very important for Russia due to the fact that there are different opinions about the possibility and necessity of free circulation of cryptocurrency in the country and the presence of conflicting bills in the State Duma, up to a complete ban on cryptocurrency. Therefore, there is no point in discussing possible asset tokenization and other secondary issues without a basic cryptocurrency law.

Do not believe the Russian government and all that they say. Their ultimate goal is to regulate the market as much as possible for themselves and their friends oligarchs. If they do something, then just to get some financial gain themselves.

That's for sure. The Russian government says one thing, thinks different, and does the third. In any case, while they do not think about their citizens at all. They only care about the interests of the ruling clans. They talk a lot about the need and prospects of cryptocurrency, but in practice it is forbidden to use it. In Russia, the law on the regulation (legalization) of cryptocurrency has not yet been adopted. Let them do it first, and only then they say.

The law on currency legalization may not be adopted at all, otherwise the FSB will no longer be able to openly do the same as with the former BTC-e (WEX) exchange, when several people, threatening the prison administrator, revoked his access to the exchange’s cold wallets.

USA is definitely doing better because all other two have hard time making laws since they are ruled by just one government whereas USA has states and even tho there is a federal law in place there is none for bitcoin or crypto currency so that means one place could legit make it possible for people to buy and sell bitcoin freely and even pay taxes with crypto whereas other place could totally ban it yet since you are in the same nation you could go to any state you want and deal with your business there and come back to your own state so basically it means if there is one place that allows something, it means everywhere else indirectly allows it as well as long as there is no federal laws banning that thing.

Partially accepting something is better than just wiff waffing around it.

A platform for tokenization of assets? Let me understand!

I have a goldbar worth $10,000 and I want to sell it. I would go that plaform and create a token of similar value and submit that goldbar to the platform controller. Now I would sell the token to the market and whoever is buying that, would get a delivery of that goldbar from the platform controller! Is that so?

Well, why it sounds like a regulation attempt to me? Is Russia trying to regulate the assets of their citizens in a digital way?

Tokenization capability already ruined crypto market big time! Don't understand why Russia is pushing towards the same way!

Russia has spouted so much contradictory shit about crypto over the years I doubt anyone will believe a single thing they claim from now on. One minute Vlad is sleeping with Vitalik, the next day a minister says people will be forced to drink radioactive tea for visiting Coindesk.

Since they're so paranoid about all the Western plots against them you'd think anything that weakened the dollar's preeminence would be welcomed. Seems not.

Yeah I also noticed the very quick changes with the russian, I guess they are really depending on the western countries and trying to lead the Asian countries. I'm very skeptical with every move they are taking too.

I don't know anything about their inner politics, however I've heard they've not many mines anyway, so not that much of value their words has

I don't take loans, ask for sig if I ever do.

Isn't china doing it better? I mean, they've had success with their blockchain progress and the yuan coin they have. Haven't heard or seen many updates lately though after their announcement with the concentration on the development of Blockchain. As for Russia, well, they've been having problems with regards to the steps they should actually do. It's like one straight line was made to curve endlessly around before reaching a final ending or conclusion which makes watching their progress really hard to bear. As for US, I actually have close to no idea about their progress. Am not following the updates they have particularly sadly.

As cryptocurrecncy becomes in demand and investors are looking for it, it seems like Russia is giving it to them by tokenization. Russian Central Bank banned the use of cryptocurrency payments in October last year due to some reasonable risks after passing the digital rights bill on the same month last year for cryptocurrencies. Yesterday, Central Bank of RUssia announced that they already successfully tested a platform where investors can seamlessly tokenize their assets which will guide digital businesses on tokenizing assets. Seems like USA, China and Russia are having hard time making regulation as they started when bitcoin soared in 2017. Russian government knows what it would cost them if they set aside and do not prioritize this big thing in front of the economy.

Tokenization offers an efficiency on buying and selling assets leading the financial world in better liquidity, faster and low-cost transaction, more transparent, and available to everyone making broader market.

Who you guys think doing it better?
USA, China Or Russia?
