PROSPECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF VIRTUAL CURRENCIES IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Abstract

The article discusses some perspectives for the implementation of the virtual currency in the payment system of the Russian Federation. Some arguments are given in defense of the fact that virtual currencies can be widely used in Russia over time. Conclusions are made about the need to improve the legislation in the field of cash and non-cash payments, the possibility of phased implementation of virtual currencies under strict control by the Central Bank and other government agencies.
