Russian President Putin Orders Crackdown on Illegal Cross-Border Transfer of Digital Assets
Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed the importance of developing more measures to combat illegal cross-border transactions of digital financial assets at a meeting of the Prosecutor General's Office on Wednesday. The increasing deployment of digital financial assets by criminals requires special attention from the government, Putin said. Additional measures should be taken to stop the illicit cross-border transfer of digital financial assets. Putin ordered local law enforcement, as well as the Federal Financial Monitoring Service (Rosfinmonitoring), to give the issue their full attention. Since Putin did not elaborate on the background of the illegal cross-border trade of digital assets, it is unclear what he meant. It is reported that Russia passed the main cryptocurrency law in January 2020, officially banning the use of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin for payments in the country. (Cointelegraph)
