Aksakov: The State Duma may pass a law on digital assets in March

The State Duma may approve a law on digital financial assets in March. RIA Novosti writes about this with reference to the head of the Financial Market Committee Anatoly Aksakov.

Aksakov emphasized that the adoption of the law has so far been hindered by disagreements between the Central Bank and the "competent authorities".

“Unfortunately, until recently it was not possible to settle the differences. Last week there was another meeting, it seems that positions were agreed upon, "he added..

According to him, the next version of the text of the document is currently being prepared, which will then be sent to the relevant authorities for approval. "If this text, after distribution, the relevant institutions, the Central Bank and the competent authorities, the legal department support, then in March, I believe, we can come out with such a bill for consideration in the second, third readings," he said.

Earlier, Aksakov said that with a high degree of probability the law will be adopted in the spring session. It regulates the procedures for the issuance, accounting and circulation of digital tokens and is expected to allow Russian companies to start using the blockchain to organize sales of their goods, primarily commodities, abroad..

Prior to that, it was assumed that the bill would be adopted by November 1, 2019. Its consideration has been going on for about two years..
