Russia To Ban Access to Crypto Exchanges?steemCreated with Sketch.

in cryptocurrency •  7 years ago 

Russia seemed to be a friendly country towards cryptocurrencies. Until today, when First Deputy Governor of Russia’s Central Bank, Sergei Shvetsov, declared that they “will block access to websites of exchanges that offer cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin”.

We cannot stand apart. We cannot give direct and easy access to such dubious instruments for retail (investors)

We think that for our citizens, for businesses, the usage of such crypto-currencies as an investment object carries unreasonably high risks.

We consider all cryptocurrency derivatives to be a negative development on the Russian market and do not consider it possible to support it, and will even assume measures to restrict potential operations with such instruments made by the regulated part of the Russian market.
Meanwhile, we assume efforts aimed at closing external websites that allow Russian citizens to acquire such assets together with the General Prosecutor’s Office.
