So far, Russia has only banned the use of cryptocurrency as a means of payment. Further there, most likely, they will establish liability for violation of this prohibition. And the State Duma of Russia has long had a bill establishing strict criminal liability for the use of cryptocurrency as a means of payment. Due to the fact that the Russian economy is beginning to collapse due to the international sanctions imposed for unleashing a war in Ukraine, and there will be feverishly looking for measures to save it, they can not only introduce criminal liability for this, but also completely ban cryptocurrency. Indeed, the sanctions continue to increase and may still change. But for the citizens of Russia, these changes will certainly not be for the better.
