Russia has approved a package of bills to cap annual cryptocurrency purchases by ordinary citizens at 300,000 roubles and to limit non-professional investors to high-liquidity cryptocurrencies pre-approved by the central bank.

Overseas purchases would be partly allowed but must be reported to the Federal Tax Service.
