ME News report, April 15 (UTC+8): The Kremlin wants to understand the people in Russia who are trading cryptocurrencies. The Central Bank of Russia hopes that, in wallets operated by domestic companies, users who have not completed identity verification will be prohibited from withdrawing crypto assets. As part of a package of comprehensive crypto regulatory measures scheduled to take effect in July, the central bank also wants to require domestic trading platforms to implement KYC mechanisms, so as to de-anonymize crypto transactions for Russia. In addition, regulators also want to track the crypto assets held by the country’s citizens abroad. In an interview, Vladimir Chistyukhin, the bank’s first deputy governor, said: “No one is trying to prevent Russian individuals or legal entities from continuing to hold cryptocurrencies in overseas wallets. Our only fundamental requirement is that they must report these assets to the Federal Tax Service.” (Source: ChainCatcher)
