No members voted against or abstained from voting.<\/p>\n<p>The new legislation is designed to address the challenges faced by Russian banks due to regulatory constraints and international sanctions.\u00a0The sanctions have significantly disrupted Russia's trade relations with key partners, including China, India, the United Arab Emirates, and Turkey, as local banks have become increasingly cautious under Western pressure.<\/p>\n<h2>Mining regulation<\/h2>\n<p>The law establishes a regulatory framework to oversee crypto mining activities, ensure compliance with tax regulations, and prevent illicit operations. One key feature of the bill is the authorization of Bitcoin mining.<\/p>\n<p>Drafted by Deputy Anatoly Aksakov and other lawmakers, the legislation mandates that mining activities be regulated by the government and the Bank of Russia, with a federal authority ensuring compliance.\u00a0The initiative aims to bring mining activities out of the shadows and ensure that income is declared and taxes are paid.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to regulating mining, the bill allows the sale of mined crypto without utilizing Russian information infrastructure, exempting these transactions from domestic currency regulation laws. However, the use of cryptocurrencies for domestic payments remains prohibited in Russia.<\/p>\n<p>The legislation also includes a ban on crypto advertising intended to control the spread of digital currency usage within the country.<\/p>\n<h2>Rising acceptance<\/h2>\n<p>While crypto remains prohibited for domestic payments, the bill marks a notable shift in Russia's approach to digital assets and currencies. The legislation aims to enhance Russia's trade relations and challenge global regulatory norms.<\/p>\n<p>Russia is also considering the official <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/russia-contemplating-permanently-legalizing-stablecoins-for-cross-border-payments\/\">legalization of stablecoins<\/a> for international transactions to simplify cross-border payments for Russian companies amid ongoing sanctions. The central band is actively discussing proposals to permit the use of these crypto-assets, which are pegged to stable currencies or assets like the US dollar or gold, making them less volatile than other cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Russia\u2019s Ministry of Finance recently proposed allowing traditional exchanges to handle <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/russia-proposes-allowing-traditional-exchanges-to-handle-crypto-trading\/\">digital asset trading<\/a> for select investors. A government draft response outlined the possibility of creating special regulations for &#8220;conducting organized trading in digital currency, recognized as a commodity, on the basis of an exchange license or a trading system license.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Russian State Duma passed a bill legalizing Bitcoin mining and allowing the use of crypto for international trade.
