In a recent meeting with the ministers on Wednesday, President of Russia Vladimir Putin noted that the country does have advantages when it comes to the mining of cryptocurrencies. “I would like to start with an issue that is currently in the spotlight — the regulation of cryptocurrencies,” said Putin
“I am familiar with the ongoing discussion on this matter. These issues are dealt with and regulated by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. Although, of course, we also have certain competitive advantages here, especially in the so-called mining. I mean the surplus of electricity and the well-trained personnel available in the country,” Russian President Putin added.
