Russia's central bank deputy governor, Vladimir Chistyukhin, has expressed concern about the possibility of privately held cryptocurrencies being phased out of the country's financial system in the near future. According to Reuters, sources told the news agency that the central bank is concerned about the increasing volume of cryptocurrency transactions, which is threatening financial stability. After the People's Republic of China announced an absolute prohibition on all cryptocurrency transactions and "mining" in September, the value of bitcoin and other major digital coins plummeted.
Cryptocurrency trading is "not suited for the general public", according to Singapore's central bank.
Cryptocurrency investors in Singapore may have to go through a risk awareness assessment before being allowed to trade. They will also not be able to use credit cards or any form of borrowing to trade cryptocurrencies. These are among the measures proposed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to protect retail consumers. A risk awareness assessment is also being proposed to ensure that retail customers have sufficient knowledge of the risks involved. DPT service providers will not be allowed to offer any monetary or non-monetary incentives to retail customers upon sign-up, or to any person to encourage referrals of its service.
