ABOUT THE EVENT
Cryptocurrencies are banned in many jurisdictions. However, today it is possible to draw on the experience of countries that have legally regulated the circulation of cryptocurrencies, for example, equating them to equities with appropriate taxation. Which path will Russia choose and why?
About this and much more on May 24 at the ICC Russia event “Benefiting from Crypto: What Regulation is Applied to the Most Unregulated Currency in the World?”.
