The names of cryptobanks Ms. Ryabova did not mention. According to her, after becoming a resident, such organizations are accredited on the side of the National Bank.
This is the result of work after the adoption of the presidential decree in January of this year. For more than six months, together with the National Bank, work was carried out, and the Supervisory Board made appropriate decisions in order to fully formalize it, Ms. Ryabova said.
On January 16, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko signed a decree on cryptobanks and control in the field of digital signs (tokens). According to the document, a cryptobank is a joint-stock company that, in addition to standard financial transactions (including banking and payment), uses cryptocurrency.
Cryptobank must have the status of a resident of the High Technologies Park (there is a special legal regime that allows transactions with digital assets) and be included in the register of the National Bank.
