Cryptocurrencies and Their Place in the Economy of the Future
Congress Centre, conference hall B1
Broadcast
Over the course of the current year, regulation of cryptocurrencies has gone from a topic of discussion to the stage where specific proposals are being drafted. The Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation has drawn up a draft bill and submitted it to the government for consideration. Meanwhile, regulation of cryptocurrencies continues to be discussed. What are the benefits of integrating digital currencies in the economy as a legal instrument? What can be done to ensure control and minimize risks during this process of integration? It is essential to develop a common approach for the government, business sector, and the public with regard to issuing digital currencies and operations involving them. Tools will also need to be developed to protect investors and the financial market from potential risks.
