The Central Bank of Russia has announced that the country's cryptocurrency industry could be operating under a legal framework by the end of 2023. This marks a notable progression in Russia's regulatory efforts concerning digital assets, which have been under scrutiny for several years.
WHY IT MATTERS
The establishment of a legal framework for cryptocurrencies in Russia could have far-reaching implications for the industry.
