The Russian government is not considering a ban on cryptocurrencies. This was stated by Andrey Lugovoy, first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption, said<\/a> in an interview with RBC.<\/p>\n

According to him, a working group in the State Duma, whose meeting is scheduled for February 16, has also not received any documents or proposals regarding a ban.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cDiscussing any possibility of permitting a ban at this stage is pointless. There are different points of view that, during the discussion, should converge to a single understanding,\u201d Lugovoy said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The deputy noted that the Bank of Russia is the only entity considering banning cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n

Earlier, in contrast to the regulator’s hardline approach, the government has already approved the concept<\/a> of regulating the market. A bill based on it will be presented 18 February<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the Bank of Russia has prepared amendments to the law ‘On \u0426\u0424\u0410<\/span>‘<\/a> to ban the circulation of digital currencies in Russia.<\/p>\n
