“United Russia” regulation of digital assets taking into account the interests of citizens
Millions of Russian citizens were involved in the fight against the market, the total amount of funds stored in electronic wallets is equivalent to 7 trillion rubles. This is a large sector of the economy, hidden in the shadows – and our task is to legalize it: so that its participants receive legal support, the state – taxes and processes, noted by the Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Information Disclosure Anton Gorelkin at the discussion platform of United Russia on the development of technologies and the regulation of digital financial assets.
“I am in favor of the operational regulation of cryptocurrency regulation, in particular, for separate legislation in the field of mining. It is necessary to develop measures of state support for the development of the national cryptocurrency – these are, first of all, exchanges and exchangers. Historically, it so happened that at present all cryptocurrency transactions in Russian citizens are carried out with huge losses and decisions. As we can see, under sanctions pressure, they began to grossly violate the rights of Russian users of foreign sites. We have no other choice but to develop our own,” he said.
Speaking about the regulation of digital currency regulation presented by the Ministry of Finance, Anton Gorelkin noted that his participation in the association, support – but the proposal to discuss agreement with the Central Bank in order to enter into broad regulation taking into account the interests of our citizens.
“The bill prohibits the use of cryptocurrencies as a means of payment, which is the position of the Central Bank. RIAC – which meets the challenge of the current geopolitical situation. Secondly, the report clearly spells out state control over all transactions with digital currency, which is provided for by creating separate cases for purposes. This, in the opinion of the party, will protect the rights and legitimate interests of citizens, and also, for sure, will successfully fight against fraudsters,” the deputy recalls.
