This is a great news especially in Ethereum.
Russian President Vladimir Putin endorsed cryptocurrency and Bitcoin rival, Ethereum, earlier this year. What does this mean for the future of the Russian technology industry and fintech in the long term? Is Russia one-step ahead with Burger Kings WhopperCoin? With geopolitics being at the forefront of everything Russia does and those experimenting with cryptocurrencies still in doubt and insecure, Putins interest was treated with caution.

Earlier this year is what the news is making refernece but at the same time, we have read several conflicting reports on what the country wants to make do about crypto currency and even the recent news about how they intend to "protect" ordinary citizens from putting their money into crypto and now this news, I say there is no point relying in news like this until more facts emerge on what they really wanted.
