最新报道:Russia is set to impose fines for illegal cryptocurrency transactions starting in 2025, according to a draft law submitted to the State Duma. The legislation targets unauthorized issuance, exchange, or use of digital assets as payment, with penalties ranging from 5,000 to 500,000 rubles ($55–$5,500) for individuals and up to 1 million rubles ($11,000) for officials. Repeat offenders may face doubled fines. The move aligns with Russia's tightening crypto regulations, including a recent ban on crypto payments. Authorities aim to curb unregulated crypto activities while exploring CBDC development, as the digital ruble pilot expands to include 17 banks.
