最新报道:Russian parents can now use government-provided maternity capital to purchase Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies through a new initiative by local investment firm DeNet. The program converts the state benefit—worth about $7,700—into digital assets via a trust management agreement, bypassing legal restrictions that prohibit direct crypto purchases with these funds. DeNet CEO Denis Shelestov emphasized the service complies with Russian law by structuring it as an investment product rather than a direct exchange. The move comes as Russia explores broader crypto adoption despite regulatory uncertainties, with authorities considering legalizing crypto mining and international crypto settlements. Over 10 million families qualify for the maternity capital program.
