In Russia, from September 1 there is a law on the regulation of cryptocurrencies. On September 14, the Central Bank included cryptocurrencies in the list of risks for the financial market, since they can be used instead of the national currency. Digital assets are anonymous, decentralized and extraterritorial, which creates risks of their use for illegal purposes or loss of invested money.
