It’s obvious that governments of different countries are putting their best efforts in making crypto trading as a legal market. In this, regard the Russian government has come to an agreement on the law regulating initial coin offering’s (ICO) and trading cryptocurrency in the country.
After the long haul Bank of Russia and Ministry of Finance have come up with a bill to control the activities related to cryptocurrencies in the country. Russian Deputy Minister of Finance Alexei Moiseev said that conflicts between two parties have been resolved and the final bill will be passed soon.
As per draft submitted by Ministry of Finance from Russia government, the law would impose a threshold for ICO activities in Russia as an effort to allow token sales under a regulated environment.
