The head of Sberbank German Gref said he supports the ban on payments in cryptocurrencies in Russia, but opposes restrictions on the ownership of such assets.
“I support the circulation of cryptocurrency as a means of payment, its ban on the territory of the country,” he said at a briefing (quote from TASS).
Gref is also sure that stablecoins should not be banned so as not to slow down the development of blockchain technology. “The most important thing here is “do not throw out the baby with water”. You have to be very careful about this. Today we live in a global market, and if we overregulate something, our competence will immediately go to other jurisdictions,” he added.
