ME News report, April 15 (UTC+8): the Kremlin hopes to understand the people who engage in cryptocurrency trading in Russia. The Central Bank of Russia wants to prohibit users from withdrawing crypto assets from wallets operated by domestic companies if those users have not completed identity verification. As part of a package of crypto regulatory measures scheduled to take effect in July, the central bank also wants to force domestic trading platforms to implement KYC mechanisms in order to de-anonymize Russian crypto transactions. In addition, regulators want to keep track of the crypto assets held by the country’s citizens abroad. Vladimir Chistyukhin, the bank’s first deputy governor, said in an interview: “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)
