Just read that Russia is planning to open its own official Bitcoin and crypto exchange 👀
Like another country getting into crypto could mean better global trading volumes yea?
Maybe even new gateways for traders?
Did you imply that Russia will have their first ever Bitcoin and cryptocurrency exchange that launched and controlled by their Russia government?
Otherwise, your information is not accurate because there are existences of many centralized exchanges in Russia.
