According to Ivan Chebeskov, the head of Russia's Finance Ministry's Financial Policy Department, the draft bill on digital currencies will outline a list of currencies and counterparty countries for a settlement framework. The bill provides local infrastructure for settlements and mining regulations, but many details will be left to businesses to work out on their own. Chebeskov made the remarks during a roundtable discussion hosted by the International Chamber of Commerce Russia in Moscow on Monday.
