    Russia’s Finance Ministry Supports Circulation of Stablecoins in Country


     


    The Russian Ministry of Finance is ready to back the
    legalization of transactions with stablecoins in Russia, according to a
    high-ranking representative. While the ministry recognizes that
    cryptocurrencies could lay the ground for a new financial system, the
    department is unsure if it will be better than the current one.

     

    Russia’s Minfin Open to Legalizing Stablecoins if Business Needs It


    The Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation (Minfin) generally
    supports authorizing the circulation of stablecoins in the country,
    according to Ivan Chebeskov, director of the ministry’s Financial Policy
    Department. The top official made the statement during “The Influence
    of Web3 – New Era of the Internet of Trust?” panel at the Russian
    Creative Week.


    Chebeskov remarked that Minfin looks at the issue from the
    perspective of Russian entrepreneurs. “If there is a need for
    businesses, companies or investors to settle, invest in a new way, if
    they need such a tool, because it reduces costs, works better than
    previous tools, and if we can limit the risks associated with it, we
    will always support such initiatives,” he elaborated.


    Quoted by RBC Crypto, the government representative also noted that
    blockchain in general, as well as crypto assets, digitalization and
    tokenization, can potentially provide an opportunity to establish an
    entirely new financial system. “But one cannot be completely sure that
    it will be able to work better than the existing financial systems,”
    Chebeskov commented.



    The Russian finance ministry has been a driving force behind efforts
    to legalize operations with cryptocurrencies in Russia, and earlier this
    year submitted
    a new bill “On Digital Currency,” designed to fill the regulatory gaps
    left by the law “On Digital Financial Assets.” The latter only partially
    regulated crypto matters when it went into force in January 2021.


    The Central Bank of Russia, on the other hand, has maintained a
    strong opposition against allowing crypto transactions in the country,
    while developing a digital ruble and proposing a blanket ban on crypto-related activities. Only recently, it softened its stance a little, with Governor Elvira Nabiullina stating
    that the regulator could agree to small-scale crypto payments in
    international settlements amid mounting Western sanctions against
    Russia.


    Chebeskov’s statement comes despite the collapse
    of terrausd (UST), which caused a major market slump and loss of
    confidence in stablecoins. The situation in the crypto market was
    recently cited by the head of the parliamentary Financial Market
    Committee, Anatoly Aksakov, who warned that the upcoming legislation,
    which has undergone multiple revisions this year, will be “tough.”
