The list will include assets with a capitalization of 5 trillion ₽ or more and high trading volume, as well as with a transparent price history of at least 5 years on licensed platforms.

Such a precise coincidence strengthens suspicions that someone acted based on insider information.

👁 The Russian Ministry of Finance is considering the possibility of taking cryptocurrency under control through export earnings.

Authorities want to oblige companies to return to the country not only currency, but also crypto, which is increasingly used in foreign settlements.
