Russian authorities are planning to pass new legislation that would effectively legalize cryptocurrency markets by summer 2018.

The bill, which the State Duma Committee on State Construction plans to support, will establish a legal basis for digital rights and digital transactions, Head of the State Construction Committee Pavel Krasheninnikov told Izvestia. The bill does not address all of the president’s directives, but its presents conditions for further regulation of the digital currency industry, said Igor Sudets, director of the Plekhanov Russian Economic University’s “Blockade for Lawyers” educational program.

The bill is scheduled for consideration but since that time, I havent found any useful info regarding its adoption.
