Meeting on cryptocurrency regulation in the Ministry of Finance postponed indefinitely

A meeting scheduled for September 18 on the regulation of cryptocurrencies in the Russian Federation with the participation of Finance Minister Anton Siluanov did not take place, TASS reports with reference to the statement by the head of the State Duma Committee on the Financial Market Anatoly Aksakov.

According to Aksakov, a new date for the meeting has not yet been determined. “Yesterday the schedule did not allow the meeting to be held, not because there are irreconcilable differences. They are irreconcilable, yes. But this is why the meeting is being held, ”he said, adding that the Central Bank firmly defends one position, some government officials - another..

It was assumed that the meeting would consider the issue of legalizing or completely banning the circulation of cryptocurrencies.

Earlier, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev ordered the adoption of the bill "On digital financial assets" in the autumn session, and Aksakov confirmed the readiness of the Duma members in this regard.

The bill as a whole is ready, said Aksakov before the postponement of the meeting, adding that the solution of the remaining fundamental issues is planned to be implemented within two weeks.
