Most Duma deputies support the project of the Bank of Russia and the Ministry of Finance to integrate cryptocurrency into the domestic financial system.
Anatoly Aksakov, the chairman of the Committee on Financial Markets, at the end of last year said that with the help of an innovative tool the Central Bank will be able to modernize the payment infrastructure.
During the first reading, the deputies of the lower house of parliament adopted a package of bills on the regulation of digital currency pegged to the ruble. These documents are part of the Bank of Russia’s concept of digitalization of the financial system in 2021-2023.
