According to TASS, Vladimir Chistyukhin, First Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Russia, stated that the proposed restrictions on the use of non-custodial wallets in the cryptocurrency circulation bill will not apply to international settlements, which will still allow the use of non-custodial wallets. Chistyukhin said that during the drafting of the bill, it was discussed that Russian investors should be allowed to use non-custodial wallets, but considering investor risks, anti-money laundering, and regulatory requirements, it was ultimately decided that direct investment through non-custodial wallets would not be permitted. However, the restrictions do not prevent users from transferring cryptocurrency from custodial wallets within Russian infrastructure to custodial wallets abroad, and then to non-custodial wallets. https://www.(wublock123.com)/news/russian-central-bank-official-noncustodial-wallet-restrictions-not-for-international-settlements-70943
