This was reported on Friday, September 27, by State Duma deputy Anton Gorelkin in a telegram channel. According to the message, the register of miners will be developed and maintained by the Federal Tax Service (FTS).

Valery Petrov, a member of the expert council of the Russian Association of Cryptocurrency and Blockchain (RACIB), believes that the appointment of an agency responsible for creating and maintaining the registry is an internal issue of the Russian government that is not subject to discussion by the business community.

"We do not see any shortcomings in the decision taken. Contacts with the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Digital Development have been established. The main thing is that all the companies that have applied can be included in the list, and which department will be responsible for its registration and verification is of no importance," said Valery Petrov.

According to the founder of the telegram channel "All about blockchain, brain and Web 3.0" Ani Aslanyan, this decision sends a signal to the mining industry that the approach to regulating and taxing the mining industry in Russia will be strict and centralized. This could lead to significant changes in the structure of the industry, the level of transparency and the mining economy in the country.

"These changes may lead to professionalization and consolidation of the industry. For large players, well-organized operators ready to work within the framework of the new regulation, the changes may be rather positive, and for small miners or those who prefer to work in the "gray zone", the changes will rather be perceived negatively. But here we must understand that the final assessment will depend on the specific details of the implementation of these measures and the ability of the industry to adapt to the new conditions," said Ani Aslanyan.


The register of miners was discussed by a State Duma deputy from "A Just Russia" and one of the co-authors of the draft law No. 237585-8 "On Amendments to the Federal Law "On Digital Financial Assets, Digital Currency and on Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation", which allows cryptocurrency mining in Russia for individuals and companies that will be included in a special register created by "an executive body authorized by the government of the Russian Federation."
