Now we have a bill in this part that has been generally agreed with the Central Bank,” said Alexei Moiseev, Deputy Minister of the Ministry.

His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.

Earlier, the Bank of Russia said that against the legalization of crypto-exchanges, exchangers and settlements in cryptocurrency within the country, only cross-border transactions are being discussed.
