🇷🇺 In Russia, amendments to the cryptocurrency bill are being prepared — regulation may be made softer and closer to the real market:

🔴 P2P may be legalized. Individuals want to be allowed to exchange crypto for cash up to 600,000 rubles per transaction.
🔴 Withdrawals to personal wallets. It is proposed to allow withdrawals not only to exchanges but also to non-custodial wallets.
🔴 Higher limit for non-qualified investors. Instead of the discussed 300,000 rubles per year, a minimum of 600,000 rubles per month is proposed.
🔴 USDT and USDC separately. Stablecoins are intended to be allocated to a separate category, rather than mixed with BTC and ETH.
🔴 More coins. The list of available assets may be expanded to include network coins like TRX, SOL, ETH, which are needed for stablecoin transfers.

As a result, it will still not be possible to pay with crypto within the Russian Federation, but P2P, personal wallets, and stablecoins may be brought out of the gray area.
