The Russian parliament has approved a bill allowing cryptocurrency for international trade and legalizing cryptocurrency mining. The bill now awaits final approval from the federation to take effect from September 1, 2024.
The purpose of this law is to solve the difficulties that Russian banks have faced as a result of regulatory constraints and Western sanctions, which have interfered with international trade with important trading partners.
Recently, Russia has seen significant disruptions in international trade with important commercial partners like China, India, the United Arab Emirates, and Turkey. This is because local banks have become more cautious as a result of pressure from authorities in the West.
The government will establish a regulatory framework to oversee mining activities, ensuring tax compliance and preventing illicit operations. Mined cryptocurrencies can be sold without adhering to domestic currency regulations, providing a new avenue for Russian businesses.
The bill’s authorization of Bitcoin mining is one of its key features. Drafted by Deputy Anatoly Aksakov and others, the law requires that mining activities be regulated by the government and the Bank of Russia, with a federal authority ensuring compliance.
The initiative aims to bring mining activities out of the shadows, ensuring that income is declared and taxes are paid. Additionally, the bill allows the sale of mined digital currencies without using Russian information infrastructure and exempts these transactions from currency regulation laws.
While the use of cryptocurrencies for domestic payments remains prohibited in Russia, this new legislation marks a significant shift in the country’s approach to digital currencies on an international level.
Russia aims to challenge the existing global regulatory dynamics and strengthen its economic resilience by embracing cryptocurrencies for international trade. The bill also includes a ban on cryptocurrency advertising, which is intended to control the spread of digital currency usage within the country.
