Russia has approved to introduce a bill that would regulate cryptocurrencies instead of banning the new asset class. The Russian finance ministry has submitted a draft bill on Bitcoin regulation, which considers cryptos solely as an investment vehicle.
There has been an intense dispute between the Bank of Russia and the Ministry of Finance over the past few weeks, as they hold opposing views on cryptocurrency regulation in the country.
The Bank of Russia has insisted on banning the new asset class, stating that there are investor risks posed by cryptocurrencies. The finance ministry has strived to incorporate digital assets into a legal framework.
The Russian government gave the finance ministry the green light to propose a bill to regulate digital assets last week as President Vladimir Putin has highlighted the advantages of Bitcoin mining in the country.
According to the statement, the Ministry of Finance will have several restrictions for citizens who are interested in investing in Bitcoin, including identification requirements and custody arrangements.
Citizens who wish to invest in the new asset class must provide their personal information to buy or sell cryptocurrencies on regulated exchanges with a purchase limit of $7,700 worth of Bitcoin per year.
Investors will also need to complete a testing procedure that assesses their knowledge of cryptocurrencies before they are able to purchase Bitcoin. Citizens who fail the test will only be able to invest up to $650 worth of BTC per year.
Citizens would not be able to withdraw the crypto assets into a self-custody wallet, as deposits and withdrawals of Bitcoin to and from an exchange will only be available through bank accounts.

Algorand price been on a steep corrective phase for the better part of the last five months. This downtrend has pushed ALGO to the last stable support level. Therefore, a bounce off this barrier is likely to trigger a massive exponential upswing.
Sandbox price could be headed lower to test a crucial foothold before bouncing higher. In order to prevent further losses, SAND must hold above $2.90. If Sandbox manages to slice above $4.42, a further 57% climb could be on the bulls’ forecast.
Blockchain data suggests that the leading cryptocurrency may be in a sustained bear market as over 4.7 million Bitcoins are now held at an unrealized loss. Several bearish signals indicate that the bellwether cryptocurrency could continue to decline.
Shiba Inu price experienced a sell-off along with other altcoins in the market as Bitcoin price failed to sustain. SHIB has sliced through a crucial barrier and is currently bouncing off another one. SHIB price sliced through the $0.0000283 support level.
Bitcoin price slips below the 50-day SMA as it eyes a retest of the $36,398 to $38,895 demand zone. Despite the crash, long-term investors are bullish as the supply of BTC on exchanges hits a three-year low. A breakdown of the $34,752 support level will invalidate the bullish thesis.
