According to DLNews, the Governor of the Russian Central Bank, Elvira Nabiullina, stated that Bitcoin mining might be one of the factors driving the strengthening of the ruble exchange rate. However, since a large portion of mining activities remain in a gray area, its impact is difficult to quantify. In an interview, she noted that mining is becoming an 'additional factor' for the ruble's strength. At the same time, the Russian Central Bank is discussing cryptocurrency regulatory arrangements with the Ministry of Finance and anti-money laundering agencies. In the future, crypto transactions may primarily be conducted through regulated and licensed institutions. Additionally, banks like VTB Bank and Sberbank have launched crypto derivatives and expressed interest in piloting Bitcoin and other crypto asset trading for high-net-worth clients. https://www.(wublock123.com)/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=6&id=53950
