Chairman of the Financial Markets Committee of the Russian State Duma: Cryptocurrencies have the potential to become a daily tool for Russian residents.

Anatoly Aksakov, Chairman of the Financial Market Committee of the Russian State Duma, stated that a bill aimed at removing cryptocurrencies from the "special financial regulatory" framework has been prepared, potentially leading to their widespread adoption in Russian life. In an interview with Russian state television, Aksakov said the State Duma will focus on issues related to digital financial assets and cryptocurrencies during its upcoming spring session. According to the proposed bill, cryptocurrencies will no longer be considered subject to special regulation, and their use will become more commonplace. He also noted that the bill allows non-professional investors to participate in the cryptocurrency market, but sets a limit of 300,000 rubles for individual purchases of digital currencies; professional financial market participants are exempt from this restriction. Furthermore, cryptocurrencies can be used for international settlements and, after issuance in Russia, can further enter the financial markets of other countries. (TASS)
