Today's Topic - Russia considers relaxing its tough stance on digital assets

On Thursday, Elvira Nabiullina, governor of the Russian Central Bank, during the meeting announcing her re-election, said that the Russian central bank may have taken an overly tough position on digital assets and should reconsider this point.

"We need to look into whether this is too tight. We need to deregulate digital financial assets projects. Digital financial assets are expected to become another channel to attract funds," she said.

Nabiullina said that as part of the government's measures to deal with Western sanctions and maintain the economy, the Russian central bank is trying to make digital financial assets effective. She stressed that the crypto-related law "digital financial assets act" passed by Russia more than a year ago did not help the country obtain too many projects.

Nabiullina also stressed that compared with cryptocurrencies privately issued by no responsible party, the government should mainly encourage the development of digital asset projects issued by "project responsible party". Nabiullina also talked about CBDC at the meeting, saying that the Russian central bank is expected to carry out the first digital ruble settlement in 2023.

Earlier, it was reported that the government of the Russian Federation submitted to the parliament a draft law on the regulation of cryptocurrency tax, which stipulates that ordinary residents can buy up to $7000 of cryptocurrency every year.
In addition, the Russian Federal Tax Office proposed legislation to allow companies in the country to pay for import and export operations in cryptocurrency.
