Putin Warns Cryptocurrencies Carry Risks, Admits They May Have Future
Russian President Vladimir Putin has again spoken about cryptocurrencies, noting the “high risks” associated with the virtual assets. However, the Russian leader has also acknowledged that digital currencies may have a future and it’s necessary to follow their development.
Russia’s Putin Still Cautious About Crypto
Russian President Vladimir Putin has made another comment regarding cryptocurrencies. Speaking at the VTB Capital Investment Forum “Russia Calling!” 2021, the head of state noted that crypto assets still carry a lot of serious risks. Quoted by the news portal Life.ru, Putin elaborated:
At the same time, Russia’s strongman did not rule out that there may be a future for cryptocurrencies. He further emphasized that right now it is necessary to carefully monitor the whole process as it develops.
Cryptocurrencies are yet to be comprehensively regulated in the Russian Federation. Although the law “On Digital Financial Assets,” which went into force in January, provides some clarity regarding virtual coins and certain related activities like their issuance, many aspects such as mining and taxation still require regulation through new legislation.
Bank of Russia remains firmly opposed to the legalization of bitcoin and the like as a means of payment and has recently proposed to introduce legal liability for such uses. In September, Putin’s press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, also took a hard stance on the matter, making it clear that Russia has no reason and is not ready to recognize bitcoin as legal tender.
Putin’s latest comment on cryptocurrencies is not his first this year. In an interview with CNBC on the sidelines of the Russian Energy Forum in Moscow this past October, he admitted that decentralized digital money could one day be employed in oil trade settlements, although this while remarking that it’s still too early for that. He accused the United States of undermining its own currency and pointed out that U.S. dollar-denominated settlements are declining while countries are scaling down their dollar reserves.
The Kremlin has been going after officials holding cryptocurrency as part of its efforts to combat corruption in government. In August, the presidential administration published a decree signed by Putin instructing several ministries and the central bank to check the declarations filed by government employees about their digital asset holdings.
