OREANDA-NEWS The daily turnover of operations with cryptocurrencies in Russia is about 50 billion rubles, said Ivan Chebeskov, Deputy head of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation. His words are quoted by TASS.

"We have always said that millions of citizens are involved in this activity, that's trillions of rubles," the deputy minister shared. He also stressed that "the volume of use of "crypts" in the country has only increased."

According to the concept of regulating cryptocurrencies in the domestic market prepared by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, it will be possible to purchase the relevant assets after passing the test. At the same time, unqualified investors will be able to purchase the most liquid cryptocurrencies for no more than 300 thousand rubles per year through one intermediary, and qualified investors will be able to deal with all crypto assets except anonymous ones without volume restrictions. In the concept, digital currencies and stablecoins are recognized as currency values that can be bought and sold, but not paid with them within the country.

As first deputy chairman of the Central Bank Vladimir Chistyukhin stated on February 12, the regulator hopes for the adoption by the State Duma of a bill that will regulate the cryptocurrency market in Russia as early as the spring session, that is, before July 2026.
