It is noted that bitcoin falls below $40 thousand for the second time this month.
On January 20, the Central Bank announced possible measures to tighten regulation of the cryptocurrency market in Russia.
In particular, the regulator proposes to ban the mining, issue and exchange of digital money, as well as to block any transactions with electronic coins using the country's financial infrastructure.
An expert in the field of cryptocurrencies and mining, Yevgeny Kaminsky, in an interview with the FBA Economics Today, said that the Central Bank's statement did not bring anything new to the market, because it would take a lot of time to form such a bill, and you should not expect its adoption this year.
