“The use of bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies carries the risk of violating citizens’ property rights and cannot be used in Russia, the country’s Prosecutor General’s Office concluded after meeting with the Central Bank, FSB, and Interior Ministry.  ‘Russia’s official currency is the ruble. The introduction of other types of currencies and the issue of money surrogates are banned,’ the statement says, meaning that cryptocurrencies – the most popular of which is bitcoin – cannot be used by Russian citizens or corporations.  Members of the meeting also outlined recommendations on how to prevent the use of virtual currencies.”
