The bill on cryptocurrencies and mining, which is under consideration in the State Duma, says that Russians will be able to use digital currencies as a means of payment.
However, they must perform such operations outside the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation. This was announced earlier this week by Anatoly Aksakov, who heads the financial committee in the lower house of parliament.
He also noted that the deputies may on Wednesday, November 2, approve a document that will legalize the mining of cryptocurrency and determine its status.
