Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law legalizing cryptocurrency mining in Russia, marking a significant milestone in the country’s adoption of digital currencies.
Effective November 1, 2024, this law not only legalizes cryptocurrency mining but also permits cross-border settlements and exchange trading in digital currencies. Russia’s move is seen as a strategic effort to circumvent Western sanctions and sustain trade flows amidst economic pressures.
By integrating cryptocurrency into its financial system, Russia aims to leverage the benefits of blockchain technology and enhance its economic resilience against international sanctions. This decision underscores Russia’s growing interest in digital currencies as a tool for financial independence and economic diversification.
