The crypto market reacted to the Central Bank’s statement in an unexpected way.
During the trades held on the eve of the Binance cryptocurrency exchange, which is the largest in the world, an anonymous crypto investor withdrew an amount of $ 83 million (over 6 billion rubles).
This was reported by RBC, referring to the Whale Alert service, which tracks large movements of cryptocurrencies in real time.
It is noted that the withdrawal of funds occurred after the Central Bank’s initiative that caused a resonance.
The regulator proposed to introduce responsibility for the use of cryptocurrencies in financial transactions in Russia, and in general to completely withdraw domestic players from the turnover of the crypt.
At the same time, the head of the Financial Stability Department of the Central Bank, Elizaveta Danilova, told the media that the regulator does not intend to introduce any bans on the ownership of the crypt of Russians.
She explained that compatriots will be able to work with their crypto assets in foreign jurisdictions.
As Topnews wrote earlier, on the eve of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation made a proposal to completely ban the turnover and mining of cryptocurrencies in Russia, which currently threaten the ruble with the loss of sovereignty.
