Russian Ministry of Finance will introduce the bill on cryptocurrency in 2017

The Ministry of Finance of Russian Federation expects the adoption of the bill on cryptocurrency no earlier than autumn 2017. This was stated by Deputy Minister Alexei Moiseev during the conference of the Moscow stock exchange in London.



"Not until the autumn of next year", - he said, answering on a question about the timing of the bill.



This year, the Ministry of Finance prepared a draft law on the introduction of criminal liability for the exchange of digital currency into rubles and vice versa, but the introduction of the document was postponed.
