Russia’s central bank said on Wednesday that virtual currencies such as Bitcoin could have a future but warned that it could move to regulate their use in Russia.
“One shouldn’t reject these instruments, perhaps they really have a future, but in our country the criminal world immediately starts to use everything new,” said Georgy Luntovsky, the central bank’s first deputy chairman.
“Perhaps after a certain time we will make a decision about some legislative regulation of this issue,” Luntovsky remarked.
