The three bills focus on defining <span>cryptocurrency<\/span> and digital financial assets, their uses as payment and investment tools, amending current laws to avoid conflicts, and defining liabilities for violating legal requirements for <span>crypto<\/span> usage.<\/p>\n<p>Transactions with <span>cryptocurrencies<\/span> without regulated intermediaries are prohibited. In the same way, <span>cryptocurrency<\/span> purchases abroad are permitted, and transactions of these digital assets abroad through regulated intermediaries are also considered.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>In addition, the bills establish a new limit of 300,000 rubles (nearly $3,730) per year for <span>crypto<\/span> purchases by non-qualified investors through a single intermediary after passing the Bank of Russia\u2019s testing. Qualified investors can make limitless purchases.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, residents will have to notify tax authorities of opening and closing <span>crypto<\/span> wallets abroad and report <span>crypto<\/span> transactions.
