The Russian cryptocurrency mining bill may be approved in January next year

ChainCatcher news, according to TASS, Russia's cryptocurrency mining bill may be approved in January next year, which will legalize cryptocurrency mining and the sale of mined cryptocurrencies. The bill was introduced in the lower house of parliament (State Duma) on November 17, 2022. At that time, Anatoly Aksako, chairman of the lower house's Financial Market Committee, expected the bill to pass all three readings in parliament by December.

If Russia's cryptocurrency mining bill is passed into law, it will allow Russians to legally mine cryptocurrencies. In addition, the bill will permit Russian miners to sell their mined cryptocurrencies on foreign platforms. Meanwhile, Aksako pointed out that if an agreement is not reached with opponents by next month, the passage of the bill may be further delayed. (source link)
