The Bank of Russia has identified cryptocurrencies available to unidentified investors since November 17, the list includes Bitcoin, Ethereum and Tether USD. Illegal investors will be able to purchase them through brokers, managers and crypto exchanges. The limit is up to 300 thousand rubles per year through one intermediary. Izvestia spoke with financial analyst Andrei Kluga about what will change for ordinary investors: buying a decentralized currency will be clearer and safer. According to the expert, now the Russians have to use foreign platforms, Belarusian exchanges or exchanges, which are associated with additional risks. "It's definitely something that will help make this investment property more convenient, safer and more convenient for the average person to use," the analyst said. Why exactly three coins? The list includes the largest and most scattered properties. Bitcoin occupies a leading position in terms of their volume, Ethereum is in the next place, and USDT is a stable market (from English). Stable - "table coin" (Stable coin) pegged to the dollar. The limit of 300 thousand rubles is intended to reduce possible losses. The expert points out that a decentralized currency remains a high-risk asset, so it is important for a novice investor to limit the amount of investments. "The central bank is deliberately limiting, relatively speaking, the maximum size of potential losses of a person who has no qualifications," Kluge said. The new system should also make the market more civilized. Exchanges and exchanges will have to operate within the framework of the established regulation and obtain an appropriate license. However, this does not mean that from November 17, a decentralized currency can be purchased immediately from any intermediate means. The specific timing of the launch will depend on the readiness of the broker or exchange and the availability of the necessary license.
