The proposed bill contained that citizens of Russia would not use any of the government’s infrastructure for any crypto activity like mining, trading, etc., and also criminalizing such activity in the country. Instead, citizens can inherit coins or collect them as the result of a counterparty’s bankruptcy process.
The digital asset also can be seized like other properties with a warrant from the court. The Ministry of justice, in its stand against Russia crypto ban also questioned what confiscated crypto would be used for by the court. Usually, confiscated properties are auctioned, but once crypto activities become illegal, that would not be possible anymore.
