Russia government to pursue separate stablecoin bill

Russia's finance ministry is considering pursuing a separate bill to regulate stablecoins rather than including provisions in the existing law that regulates cryptocurrency trading. A finance ministry official said stablecoins have enormous potential. Russia is also reviewing ways to use stablecoins to bypass sanctions. Russian law currently has no clear legal definition of stablecoins, and discussions will continue with the central bank and market participants.
