“Absolutely, the measures proposed by the Central Bank will not cause an outflow, but a whitewash of capital, including capital flowing into the country.

With effective supervision of the operations of financial institutions, the risks of abuse - while monitoring the imposed bans - can be minimized, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.

According to Sukhov, additional investments by regulators and institutions in control mechanisms will pay off by reducing risks and losses.

“We are at a stage when the public use of cryptocurrencies is not practiced yet, and we can prevent losses to the economy and the budget from large-scale “cryptization,” he explained.

Earlier, the founder of Telegram, Pavel Durov, said that a possible ban on cryptocurrencies by the Central Bank of Russia would lead to an outflow of IT specialists from the country.

On January 21, the Central Bank announced possible measures to tighten regulation of the cryptocurrency market in Russia.
