ME News Report, June 8 (UTC+8), the Central Bank of Russia rejected the proposal to immediately expand cryptocurrency access, prohibiting non-qualified investors from trading cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT. Deputy Governor Vladimir Chistyukhin stated that after the new regulations take effect, only these three mainstream digital currencies will be allowed for trading. Chistyukhin pointed out that the high volatility of cryptocurrencies, market risks, and the possibility of stablecoins being restricted or frozen are reasons for maintaining strict limits. These rules are part of Russia's digital currency legislation, which was passed in the State Duma on April 4 with an overwhelming majority in the first reading and is expected to take effect next month. The regulatory authorities also plan to keep the proposed 300k ruble investment cap unchanged. As part of the proposed rules, qualified and non-qualified investors must pass a mandatory knowledge test before purchasing any digital assets. Starting in 2027, unlicensed cryptocurrency lending will be prohibited. The bill still needs to go through the second and third readings, approval by the Federation Council, and be signed by the president before becoming law. (Source: PANews)
