On Tuesday, the State Duma adopted the bill “On Digital Financial Assets”. The bill includes amendments to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation on digital rights and provides a regulatory framework targeting the digital economy.

This came after Putin called for the adoption of the regulation by July 2019. Russia is also said to be considering an oil-backed digital token.

Meanwhile, there were new developments regarding the case of Quadriga, a troubled Canadian crypto exchange. Quadriga is reportedly missing CA$180 million dollars ($135.39 million) in digital assets after the death of its founder Gerry Cotten, who was the only one with access to the company’s cold wallet – offline storage for crypto assets.

On Monday, Fortune reported that the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is now involved in the investigation over Quadriga’s missing funds. The crypto exchange reportedly stored 650,000 Ethereum on other exchanges such as Kraken and Bitfinex.

Kraken’s CEO Jesse Powell told Fortune that the FBI and Royal Canadian Mounted Police reached out to his company regarding the case.
