According to Izvestia, Russia is advancing a crypto regulation bill that proposes additional restrictions on non-qualified investors purchasing crypto assets like USDT, USDC, and BNB, which are considered 'high-risk/unfriendly' by Russian authorities. The report states that since these assets are under Western jurisdiction or have previously restricted Russian users, there is a risk of freezing. The Russian government is considering imposing extra fees and implementing stricter trading and withdrawal limits as mechanisms to enhance investor protection. Previously, the draft proposed that non-qualified investors could purchase the top five crypto assets by market cap in the future, which currently include BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB, and USDC, with an annual investment cap of 300,000 rubles (approximately $4,000) through a single intermediary. https://(wublock123.com)/news/russia-plans-extra-restrictions-retail-purchases-usdt-bnb-unfriendly-assets-62450
