Russia Close To Legalizing International Trade In Bitcoin, Crypto: Head Of Finance Committee
“In January, we want to legalize cryptocurrencies to ensure foreign trade activities…”
Russia’s Congressional finance committee chairman, Anatoly Aksakov, said the country is moving to greenlight international trade in cryptocurrency within the next month, according to a report by national news agency TASS.
“The circulation of cryptocurrencies as a means of payment on the territory of Russia will be prohibited, and liability will be prescribed in this regard,” he reportedly stated.
“But to pay for foreign trade transactions, we still assume the possibility of using cryptocurrencies, for example, for parallel imports.”
“There can be a variety of currencies, and that’s a standard practice. If they want bitcoin, we will trade in bitcoin,” the chairman of the country’s Congressional energy committee, Pavel Zavalny, said in a press conference at the time.
Great….The Cretins would Love to destroy alternative currencies with their CBDC
But as long as Russian and BRICS+ keep them viable…it ain’t gonna happen
