Belarus Akan Tetap Liberal Bitcoin Aturan, Rusia Mencari Regulasi
Belarus’ regulator says it doesn’t want additional restrictions as the Russian Ministry of Finance calls for bitcoin peraturan.
Belarus is reportedly not inclined to change its permissive bitcoin trading rules despite its neighbor and ally Russia having been drawn to considering a complete ban of trading and mining.
Bloomberg reported on Tuesday that Belarus’ cryptocurrency regulator, Hi-Tech Park, does not have plans to tighten its liberal bitcoin- peraturan perundang-undangan yang terkait.
“Perubahan terbatas pada model peraturan yang ada saat ini tidak diramalkan,” layanan pers Hi-Tech Park, regulator mata uang kripto Belarusia, mengatakan Bloomberg melalui email.
Pada tahun 2017, Belarusia diperkenalkan a set of laws to encourage novel developments in the cryptocurrency space and granted its citizens the ability to buy, sell, hold, and mine bitcoin. Belarusians are also not required to report their bitcoin purchases and sales to tax authorities, the Bloomberg laporan dicatat.
Neighboring Russia has recently dabbled with increasing regulatory scrutiny towards bitcoin but different authorities have expressed contrasting views.
Pada bulan Desember, muncul berita bahwa bank sentral Rusia adalah berusaha untuk melarang citizens from investing in bitcoin and cryptocurrency out of concerns the activity would pose risks to the country’s financial stability. Last week, Bloomberg melaporkan bahwa Bank Rusia mengusulkan larangan menyeluruh terhadap penggunaan dan penambangan semua mata uang kripto.
Di sisi lain, Kementerian Keuangan Rusia menyerukan peraturan pada hari Selasa, instead of a ban, confronting the central bank’s view and warning that prohibiting bitcoin mining and trading entirely could lead to Russia being left behind on the innovation technology industry.
“Kita perlu mengatur, bukan melarang,” kata Ivan Chebeskov, direktur departemen kebijakan keuangan Kementerian Keuangan. “Peraturan akan melindungi warga negara.”
Russia benefited greatly from the Chinese ban on bitcoin mining in the summer as many mining farms bermigrasi ke negara karena suhu rendah dan energi berbiaya rendah merupakan pasangan yang menarik. Jika larangan diberlakukan, Rusia akan kehilangan sebagian besar penambang ini ke negara lain dan bisa dibilang tidak dapat menegakkan larangan perdagangan.
“Kita perlu memberikan teknologi ini kesempatan untuk berkembang. Dalam hal ini, Kementerian Keuangan secara aktif terlibat dalam pengembangan inisiatif legislatif dalam mengatur pasar ini, ”tambah Chebeskov.
Mengingat Bitcoin’s inherent peer-to-peer nature, attempting to ban it hasn’t produced much results historically and the latest country to do so, China, is still home ke beberapa Bitcoin node dan penambang.
