“I believe that representatives of the Central Bank and the government of the Russian Federation will successfully sort this out ... Although, to be honest, when they try to ban something, very often it leads to the opposite result,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
On January 21, the Central Bank announced possible measures to tighten regulation of the cryptocurrency market in Russia.
On January 25, Ivan Chebeskov, director of the financial policy department of the Ministry of Finance, opposed the proposed ban on cryptocurrencies in the country by the Central Bank.
He noted that he considers it necessary to introduce regulation of the digital asset market.
Rosfinmonitoring supported the position of the Ministry of Finance.
