The Minister of Finance of Russia, Anton Siluanov, announced that domestic companies have started using Bitcoin and other digital assets for international payments thanks to new legislative changes. This helps to circumvent Western sanctions that complicate trade with China and Turkey. 🚀
President Putin supports Bitcoin, considering it an alternative to the dollar, which is losing ground due to political pressure from the USA. This stimulates interest in cryptocurrencies, as evidenced by an 8% increase in traffic on cryptocurrency exchanges in Russia. 📈
Russia has legalized the use of cryptocurrencies in international trade and intensified the fight against illegal mining, especially in the Irkutsk region. At the same time, the winter ban on mining has been extended until 2031 to reduce the load on the energy system.
