Unfortunate July has come and gone, no news about Russia legalizing cryptocurency yet but i believe this may happen in the nearer future maybe after SEC approve Bitcoin ETF.

really what you say, I am also very much waiting for the good news, but until now the news is only good news, but the realization is not there, although this news had become something that made bitcoin prices improve but without realization I am sure the news will only be imaginary
So this is one of a lot of gossip, and when the time came, no more confirmed news was found. Otherwise, there will be a substantial increase.
