俄罗斯政府和中央银行将很快在这个几乎是世界上最大的国家开始制订数字货币的法规和指导。
俄罗斯银行第一高级副总裁Georgy Luntovskyi宣布，由俄罗斯俄塔社通讯社在国际银行业大会报道。luntovskyi先生强调在许多国家存在各种监管比特币的方法。例如，最近在加利福尼亚比特币合法化，而中国却是完全禁止（译者：是限制三方充值业务）。luntovskyi也评论了比特币在俄罗斯的前景：
“我们支持对比特币积极的政策。我们正在与银行合作监测国际清算情况。这是无可否认的好工具，比特币可能大有未来。”
此外，他还提到，在黑市的非法毒品和武器交易早有使用比特币支付系统的先例。“这将为我们对比特币的决策提供更多信息，”他说。“现在，我们正在与政府合作研究问题。我们可能会在不久的将来决定对比特币立法。”
今年早些时候，俄罗斯央行发布使用虚拟货币的警告。一月二十七日，央行宣布，包括比特币在内，所谓的“虚拟交易”在本质上是投机性的，存在很多风险，易受价格波动。
评论：俄罗斯变了，中国还远吗？
The Russian government and its Central Bank could soon start developing regulations and guidance on how digital currencies are to be approached in the world’s biggest country.
This was announced by the first senior vice president of the Bank of Russia, Georgy Luntovskyi, at the International Banking Congress as reported by the Russian news agency Itar-Tass. Mr. Luntovskyi emphasized that various approaches towards Bitcoin regulation exist across many countries. For example, it was recently legalized in California while remaining completely bannedin China. Luntovskyi also commented on the prospects of Bitcoin in Russia:
“We are proponents of a diligent approach towards Bitcoin. We are monitoring this situation in cooperation with the Bank of International Settlements. It is impossible to deny this instrument, which might have a future.”
In addition, he also mentioned that precedents exist for using such payment systems on the black markets for illegal drugs and weapons. “We will reach a decision on Bitcoin as we get more information,” he said. “Right now, we are studying this issue in cooperation with the government. It is possible that we will come to a decision with regards to legislative regulation at a later date.”
Earlier this year, the Central Bank of Russia issued a warning on using virtual currencies. On January 27, the Bank announced that transactions involving Bitcoin on so-called “virtual exchanges” are speculative in nature, present a lot of risk and are subject to price volatility.
