Kabaloev also stated that “certainly it will be in this setup, or metrics will be somehow adjusted unidirectionally or in another direction- this is possible and I think there will be a broader range of discussions
Russia banned the usage of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin for payments under its first crypto law from January 2021. Also, the country argued for years against cryptocurrencies, mentioning that they could be used in money laundering and financing terrorism
