러시아의 암호화폐 입법 현황 - 디지털금융자산법을 중심으로-

Since 2018, Russia has been building a legislative foundation for cryptocurrencies in the field of the digital economy. Russia is one of the countries that has issued nationally recognized legal cryptocurrencies, and the Ministry of Finance has prepared a bill for the issuance of cryptocurrencies called crypto rubles. Recently, the central bank is planning to issue a digital ruble that reflects the characteristics of cryptocurrency. In order to establish a legal system on the issuance and transaction of cryptocurrencies at the government level, the concept of ‘digital rights’ was newly established in the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, and the ‘Digital Financial Assets Act’ was enacted and implemented based on this. The Digital Financial Assets Act deals with the issuance and transaction of digital financial assets. This allows real companies to issue digital financial asset-type securities through ICO (Initial Coin Offering) or STO (Security Token Offering). It is also evaluated to facilitate financing. However, it is difficult to see that Russia's legislative system is on the same level as Korea's. Therefore, it cannot be denied that there is a limit to accepting or referencing the legislative situation in Korea. Although it is a small area, it may have significance in that it can expand the legislative viewpoint.
