In line with our recent <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/russia-eyes-bitcoin-xrp-and-crypto-trading-on-major-exchanges-for-qualified-investors/">coverage</a>, the Russian Finance Minister has announced that “qualified investors” will be allowed to trade cryptocurrency on the country’s major exchanges.

According to local reports, the bill passed with a decisive vote tally of 404 in favor, representing 89.8% of the total votes. There were no votes against or abstentions. The bill was introduced by a group of deputies led by Anatoly Aksakov, Chairman of the Duma Committee on Financial Markets. These standards will be established by the government and the Bank of Russia, while the Ministry of Digital Development will ensure compliance. 
This legislation is expected to <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/russia-legitimize-bitcoin-mining-okved/">take effect</a> on September 1, pending final approval from the federation. In his tweet, Collin Brown, a blockchain researcher, views it as the start of a new crypto era. In his tweet, he states:

Importantly, the bill sets clear rules for Bitcoin mining to prevent fraud and reduce illegal mining and related crimes with extra controls. In addition, the proposed legislation also sets forth guidelines for individuals and businesses involved in digital currency mining. 
Earlier, CNF <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/russia-legitimize-bitcoin-mining-okved/">discussed</a> that this step aims to bring miners out of regulatory ambiguity and provide them with legal recognition, impacting areas such as taxation and licensing. Miners are required to report the digital currency they mine and the transaction addresses to a designated government authority. 
In case of criminal conduct, Rosfinmonitoring will maintain a list of suspicious cryptocurrency addresses to support anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing efforts. As of now, the Bitcoin (BTC) market is valued at $64,168.51, with a decrease of 2.59% in the past day and 0.85% in the past week. See BTC price chart below.
