Ruska nacionalna finansijska asocijacija poziva na legalizaciju kripto investicija

Glavno udruženje finansijske industrije Rusije pozvalo je vlasti da preispitaju stav protiv kripto investicija u strategiji nacionalnog finansijskog tržišta. Organizacija insistira na tome da kripto ulaganja Rusa treba izvući iz "sive zone" umjesto da budu zabranjena.

Tijelo za finansijsku industriju poziva vladu da regulira operacije s kripto imovinom

The Russian National Financial Association (NFA) has issued a call to amend the country’s Strategy for Development of the Financial Market of the Russian Federation Until 2030 in the part concerning investments in cryptocurrencies, RIA Novosti and Prime reported, quoting the proposal. The NFA unites over 200 entities active in Russia’s financial market.

The strategy now states that the Russian government and Bank of Russia will continue to oppose the use of “monetary surrogates,” a term often employed to describe decentralized digital currencies such as bitcoin. They carry high risks for citizens, according to the document, and may hinder the implementation of macroeconomic policies aimed at creating favorable economic conditions.

Poslovanje sa kripto imovinom ostaje "u sivoj zoni" uprkos činjenici da su ulaganja Rusa u kriptovalute značajna, napominje samoregulatorno tijelo ruskog finansijskog sektora. Strane kompanije i neregistrovani posrednici primaju prihode od takvih transakcija, istakla je organizacija.

NFA smatra da opcija da se ruskim investitorima omogući pristup digitalnoj finansijskoj imovini preko ruskih profesionalnih učesnika na tržištu, kao i mogućnost stvaranja zajedničkih investicijskih fondova kojima se trguje na berzi sa kriptovalutama za kvalifikovane investitore, zahtijeva dodatnu studiju.

The proposal comes after recent reports revealed that cryptocurrency is a popular investment choice for many Russians. According to the Russian Association of Cryptoeconomics, Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain (Racib), at least 17.3 million people in Russia have crypto wallets. In December, the head of the Financial Market Committee at the State Duma, Anatoly Aksakov, announced that Russian citizens have invested 5 trillion rubles in crypto (over $67 billion).

Bank of Russia has been a strong opponent of the legalization of cryptocurrencies in the country and wants to restrict crypto investments by blocking card payments to recipients such as digital asset exchanges. However, estimates quoted in the central bank’s own Financial Stability Overview for Q2 and Q3 of 2021 have indicated that the annual volume of digital currency transactions made by Russian residents amounts to around $5 billion.
