Nabiullina, a key ally of President Putin, currently leads the Central Bank of Russia's sovereign digital currency (digital ruble) project. She pointed out that while the central bank supports exploring the cross-border application of crypto assets within a specific "regulatory sandbox" framework, it firmly opposes their infiltration into the domestic monetary system and settlement activities.Since 2020, Russia has banned payments in cryptocurrencies, but current enforcement is relatively lax, and there is a lack of a clear legal framework for related transactions. Nabiullina called for increased legal accountability for the use of cryptocurrencies for payments within Russia, stating: "Our position has not changed. We cannot allow cryptocurrencies to penetrate domestic monetary circulation and domestic settlements. We suggest seeking investment opportunities in cryptocurrencies while increasing the responsibility for using cryptocurrencies in domestic settlements."

She emphasized the need to protect retail investors from the risks posed by the highly volatile crypto market.Furthermore, after Nabiullina's speech, Anatoly Aksakov, chairman of the State Duma's Financial Market Committee, pointed out that there are still differences in Moscow regarding cryptocurrency regulation.

ChainCatcher news, experts Lu Jianping and Liu Jia from the Law School of Beijing Normal University stated in their research article that China's current prohibition policy not only fails to adequately address the inherent risks of virtual currencies but also exacerbates the underground and cross-border trends of virtual currency trading, resulting in a unique residual risk situation.The two experts suggest accelerating the formulation of the "Digital Property Law," classifying virtual currencies as non-financial commodities, and incorporating them into the management of individual overseas investment behaviors through scenario-based multiple regulations. At the same time, they recommend improving the relevant provisions of the "Anti-Money Laundering Law," including virtual asset service providers within the scope of specific non-financial institutions, strengthening the regulation of decentralized finance (DeFi) transactions and peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions, and establishing a sound mechanism for the recovery and disposal of related assets.
