According to Bits Media, the Russian Ministry of Finance stated that despite market participants calling for non-custodial wallets to be included in the "legal framework," the ministry is currently only considering opening access to a very limited number of specific legal entities through legal experiments or pilot mechanisms after obtaining law enforcement practices. It will absolutely not be open to retail investors. The ministry emphasized that while Russia does not plan to ban holding non-custodial wallets, when withdrawing assets from domestic legal crypto custodians and exchanges, withdrawals will only be allowed to KYC-verified custodial wallets. Transfers from Russian custodial wallets to overseas non-custodial wallets are strictly prohibited. Additionally, the draft law "On Digital Currency and Digital Rights," which is preparing for its second reading, may introduce new provisions, such as imposing additional fees or restrictions on specific crypto activities, including stablecoins like USDT. https://www.(wublock123.com)/news/news-62512
