Russia’s president Vladimir Putin has reportedly ordered the issue of the national cryptocurrency, the “cryptoruble.” The Russian Minister of Communications and Mass Media has revealed some details of this new currency.
Russia’s Minister of Communications and Mass Media, Nikolay Nikiforov, said at a closed meeting with members of the Moscow Capital Club that Putin has ordered the issue of the country’s own cryptocurrency, the cryptoruble, AIF newspaper reported on Saturday.
This decision followed the meeting that Putin had with Russia’s top regulators last week where he instructed the central bank not to create “unnecessary barriers” to cryptocurrencies.
