To be exact Russia wants to limit trade on cryptocurrency exchanges for ordinary users. Whatever they may say in our government, the sanctions has hit hard on the budget, and officials continue to invent new taxes for the population to balance the lack.
Especially in my country don't like when people get money and don't share them with the state. As a result, our government is not committed to the development of cryptocurrencies and their legalization, but primarily to their control and ability to obtain money from those who already have these assets. It's so sad that I'm going to have a beer...
Thought something along those lines... Thanks for the comprehensive reply, you could draw this out in a post!
