Russia Considers Imposing Administrative Penalties for Crypto Mining

The Russian Parliament may impose administrative penalties for crypto mining by the end of June, as  Anatoly Aksakov, the chairman of the State Duma Committee on the Financial Market, stated. [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]“I note that any operations with cryptocurrency that are contrary to the Russian legislation will be considered illegitimate.
