Even if this news is true, I would expect further pressure on crypto later on. Russian gov is too tyrannical and corrupt to let such thing as crypto exist without choking it

Russian government only allows cryptocurrencies as a source of profit or mainly as a store of value, that's why they only allow trading than use it in many transactions.

As a payment method? No way. They will not use crytocurrency as a payment method because they know that it will really affect their economy and other businesses due to volatility of most of the coins. The authority allows the community to access cryptocurrency but it really have some limit and restrictions.

Very close with bitcoin become legal payment currency transaction in Russia, I think is near how people can use bitcoin and altcoin become payment currency there because after legal using as investment assets will have new way for Russia make bitcoin legal as payment way. Just waiting several month later we can see Russian is the first europe country legal using bitcoin and altcoin.

According to the source, Russian government do not allow bitcoin as a payment method so it is less likely to become adopted in that kind of activities. People will only use it as their assets in their investments but not making it as a tool for payment transactions. They are not even close to full bitcoin adoption as they are still unable to do other features of transactions using crypto. Hoping that Russian government allow its people to use cryptocurrency freely.
