The planned amendments would allow crypto payments in Russia under contractual law \u2014 meaning that such payments would be only possible with the consent of all involved parties:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe believe that it is necessary to make amendments to the Civil Code, the initiative is currently undergoing a necessary <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roval procedure. Currently there is an understanding that digital currency is not legal as payment but this payment method, quite possibly, can be contractual.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As previously reported, Russia enforced its cryptocurrency payment ban this January, officially prohibiting residents from making and accepting payments in crypto in the country. Anatoly Aksakov, chairman of the Russian State Duma Committee on Financial Markets, argued last year that legalizing crypto payments would essentially mean the \u201cdestruction of the financial system.\u201d Aksakov is confident that Russia\u2019s not-yet-launched central bank digital currency is poised to be the \u201chighest form of money\u201d and will be an integral part of national settlements by 2023 or 2024.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
