The Central Bank of Russia Bans Mutual Funds From Investing in Cryptocurrencies
Last Updated: December 20, 2021
✓ Fact Checked
Russia has recently re-emphasized its stance in regards to cryptocurrencies, and other, related digital assets. In a statement put out on Monday, the Central Bank of Russia has proclaimed that it would ban mutual fund managers from purchasing cryptocurrencies, or any extensions of cryptos - namely, any financial instruments whose price would depend on digital assets.
In the same statement, the Bank of Russia did expand a list of alternative assets that mutual funds will be capable of investing in. This only further-extends the point that Russia tries to make, crypto-wise.
Up until this point in time, there has been no official ban on mutual funds exposing their clients to cryptocurrencies - only recommendations made from the Bank of Russia to avoid doing so. That being said, there have been no mutual funds within the country that would offer cryptocurrencies as a potential investment tool.
