“We would look to give maximal security for our citizens who invest in digital assets,” Aksakov said. “It is a new instrument, and it is pretty tough for an unskilled investor.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Cryptocurrency investment carries a high level of risk as well as the potential for high profits, according to Aksakov, with worldwide investors pouring billions of dollars into crypto. “We definitely need particular legislation to safeguard a non-professional investor from ill-advised digital currency <\/a>purchases,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest announcement coincides with the Bank of Russia's recent measures to slow down crypto exchange transactions in order to safeguard retail investors from “emotional” crypto purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sergey Shvetsov, the Bank of Russia's first deputy governor, this step will shield Russian investors from losses if the cryptocurrency market “crashes to zero.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Russian Association of Forex Dealers' August study, 77% of Russian investors believe cryptocurrencies are the “most forward-looking<\/a>” investment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
