In the State Duma, lawmakers will consider legislatively restricting investments in crypto assets by non-qualified investors. This was stated by the head of the Financial Market Committee, Anatoly Aksakov, according to Interfax<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In his words, this would help protect private investors, as cryptocurrencies for them are “a fairly complex instrument”.<\/p>\n

“Digital assets are a topic of our close attention, and here we will look to protect our citizens as much as possible when investing in digital currencies,” said Aksakov.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The official noted that cryptocurrencies are associated with high risk, but also high returns.<\/p>\n

“We need, of course, to enshrine in law the norms that would shield an unqualified investor from ill-considered investments in digital currencies,” said Aksakov.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Earlier the head of the Financial Market Committee stated<\/a>, that Bitcoin cannot be legalized due to its volatility, and also proposed<\/a> registering mining as a form of entrepreneurial activity.<\/p>\n

In September the Central Bank of Russia opposed<\/a> allowing non-qualified investors access to cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n
