According to Vedomosti.ru, Voskhod trading platform will receive the right from the Central Bank to work with crypto-currencies, Deputy Prime Minister Yury Trutnev said in an interview with TASS.
"We are considering the possibility of creating a platform for trading with crypto-currencies. The central bank has supported us. The "Voskhod" system was the first in the country to receive the right to work with crypto-currencies, " said Yuri Truntev.
According to the vice-premier, the possibility of mining crypto-currency in several regions of the Far East is being discussed. "There are regions where there is an overabundance of energy, both in Russia and in Siberia. And there is still no way to redistribute this surplus to other regions. Therefore, it is possible to create companies that will thus dispose of unconnected volumes of electricity, and people will be able to earn on this, " Trutnev explained.
He added that Voskhod expects to hold auctions in the near future: "They had a couple of trades for the past period, the volume of attracting about 600 million rubles. They are planning to auction now with a volume of about the same - a little more than 500 million rubles. " At the same time, the Deputy Prime Minister complained that "the platform" Sunrise "is not very satisfied, it could work more intensively."
