Cryptocurrency and the crypto market. Lukashenko raises the question of their future fate in Belarus
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, while hearing a report on the banking system's performance on August 12, raised the issue of further actions regarding cryptocurrency and the crypto market, a BELTA correspondent reports.
"The crypto market, cryptocurrency. What is it, how will we deal with this problem? - the head of state figuratively put it, addressing the Chairman of the Board of the National Bank, Roman Golovchenko. - How will we use it, especially now, to ensure payments? A lot is said about this, and yet this market for cryptocurrency is not so developed in Belarus. How will we act in the future?"
Alexander Lukashenko noted that this topic was discussed even when Pavel Kallaur headed the National Bank. "We raised this issue, IT specialists approached us, saying that we need to act in this direction. How will we (ultimately act. - BELTA's note)? This is important for me and for the country as a whole," the President said.
