The first draft law on the regulation of cryptocurrencies was submitted to the State Duma

A group of companies consisting of ANO Law of Robots, Voronkov Ventures and Heads Consulting developed and sent the head of the State Duma Committee on Financial Market Anatoly Aksakov a draft law on the regulation of decentralized virtual property, in particular cryptocurrencies and tokens. Aksakov asked market participants to prepare proposals on the regulation of cryptocurrencies at a meeting of the expert council on the legislative support of financial technologies and has already received several dozen proposals, but he is being sent a full-fledged bill for the first time. Writes about this "Kommersant".

The bill describes the principles of cryptocurrency turnover, as well as determines the legal status of market participants and the ICO mechanism.

The authors propose to create a state cryptocurrency exchange, the main currency of which will be the crypto-ruble. It can be exchanged for regular rubles. In addition, the possibility of exchanging cryptocurrency for foreign currency is provided. Such transactions will be taxed.

Anatoly Aksakov approved the proposal for the qualification of cryptocurrencies as virtual property, but doubted the advisability of creating a crypto-ruble and a specialized exchange.

“Not a single country has released any national cryptocurrency, in general, this idea is more than dubious,” he said.

Recall that initially the initiative to create a crypto-ruble was made by the Minister of Communications and Mass Media Nikolai Nikiforov. The response to the minister's proposal was mixed.

“There will be no crypto-ruble, I am absolutely sure of that. These are just the basic rules for the work of the monetary authorities of any country, "said Mikhail Zadornov, head of VTB24 bank..
