Russian authorities draw up ‘road map’ to regulate cryptocurrencies -document
MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russian authorities have drawn up a ‘road map’ that envisages restrictions on cryptocurrencies but not a complete ban on trading and mining as advocated by the central bank, a document seen by Reuters showed on Friday. Politicians have pressed for a change of tack by the central bank, which has proposed restricting cryptocurrency trading and energy-intesive mining on Russian territory because of concerns it may cause financial instability. President Vladimir Putin has asked those involved to find a consensus and a working group, including the finance, economy, digital and interior ministries, the FSB security service, and the central bank, has been working on such a plan.
