Moscow Stock Exchange May Add Cryptocurrency

According to reports from TASS, The Moscow Stock Exchange may become a site for trading in cryptocurrencies. The head of the State Duma’s Financial Market Committee, Anatoly Aksakov, stated in an interview. State Duma is the lower chamber of the Russian parliament.

"We have the St. Petersburg International Commodity Exchange, the Moscow Stock Exchange, the RTS, but they actually act as a non-profit partnership. Although they are also ready to participate in this process, and there are specialists in stock exchange operations there. I suppose that, the Central Bank is now considering the Moscow Stock Exchange, perhaps also the St. Petersburg Commodity Exchange for this purpose. But now there is a stronger urge to work with the Moscow Stock Exchange," Aksakov said.
