More Officials and Organizations Reject Central Bank’s Call to Prohibit Cryptocurrency
ロシア中央銀行’s 提案 to place a number of crypto-related activities outside the law has sparked a wave of 反応 in Moscow. Among the critics are the Finance Ministry which put out its own regulatory concept, the State Duma where deputies are working on a new crypto law, and the government which prepared a roadmap for crypto regulation together with various departments.
中央銀行’s position has its reasons, ドミトリー・メドベージェフ, who now serves as deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, acknowledged in an interview with Russian media. The monetary authority has cited threats to the nation’s financial stability and risks for its citizens as key factors for its hardline stance on crypto. でも, quoted by Tass, Medvedev warned:
To be honest, when you try to ban something, this very often leads to the opposite result.
Other Russian officials have recently expressed more specific concerns. Any restrictions on the issuance and circulation of cryptocurrencies would halt the development of the blockchain industry and go against the country’s policy of supporting the IT sector, Minister Of Digital Development Maxut Shadayev was quoted as saying by the business daily Vedomosti. A ban would also lead to outflow of qualified specialists, 彼が追加した.
The Russian Association for Electronic Communications (RAEC) has also joint the front against Bank of Russia’s push for prohibition while backing the finance ministry and the federal government. A ban would not solve existing problems with fraud and other illegal acts but, on the contrary, it will complicate control as market activity will move to the “grey” sector, the industry organization noted. In a statement quoted by the business news portal RBC, RAEC also said:
The ban on the circulation of cryptocurrencies will leave Russia on the sidelines of the development of one of the fastest growing digital markets at the moment, which will significantly slow down the innovative development of the country.
According to data compiled by RAEC’s experts, the contribution of digital markets to the Russian economy amounted to 6.7 trillion rubles (以上 $85 100万) の 2020. The association’s preliminary estimates for 2021 suggest that the indicator has increased by 29%, に 8.6 trillion rubles (around $110 million at current exchange rates).
その間, the head of the State Duma Financial Market Committee, Anatoly Aksakov, has publicized the idea of legalizing cryptocurrencies under the Russian law “On Experimental Legal Regimes in the Field of Digital Innovations.” This would allow authorities to examine how the various elements of the crypto infrastructure function under strict government control, Aksakov elaborated during a conference devoted to crypto regulations.
