According to Foresight News, the Russian State Duma passed a bill in the first reading to legalize cryptocurrency mining in Russia. According to the bill, the Russian federal government will reach an agreement with the Central Bank of Russia to formulate activity requirements for individuals and legal entities (including mining pool participants) engaged in digital currency mining.
The control of compliance with the established requirements will be carried out by the Ministry of Digital Development. The government can also ban mining activities in certain regions or in individual territories.
