In accordance with the new law, the use of cryptocurrency significantly reduces the degree of anonymity. A number of additional provisions are introduced for exchangers and cryptocurrency platforms.

The procedure for introducing new rules into national legislation is given a year and a half. With the information provided by our specialists, it follows that these entities must be registered with the authorities and systematically carry out control of legal documents, including customer inspection.
