Key Points:
  • Main event, leadership changes, market impact, financial shifts, or expert insights.
  • Russia reinforces strict cryptocurrency payment ban.
  • Central bank, State Duma align against cryptocurrency payment use.

Anatoly Aksakov, Chairman of the Russian State Duma’s Financial Market Committee, stated on December 15 that Russia will not recognize cryptocurrencies as legal tender, only as investment tools.

This position aligns with the central bank’s ongoing opposition to crypto payments, impacting legislative efforts and reflecting continued uncertainty in Russia’s regulatory approach.

Russia Enforces Crypto Payment Ban Aligned with Central Bank

Changes include a clear restriction on using cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) for payments, mandating exclusive use of rubles. This regulation maintains the focus on investment rather than transactional utility.

Market reactions to this decision vary. The Ministry of Finance had previously supported regulating crypto exchanges and taxing earnings, suggesting divergent regulatory views. Aksakov’s comments sparked debate on aligning government strategies, highlighting the central bank’s powerful influence on crypto policy in Russia.

Russia’s Crypto Stance: Historical Stalemates and Current Regulations

Did you know? Russia’s ongoing ban on cryptocurrency for payments continues a four-year stalemate in policymaking, with past regulatory efforts stalling due to diverging opinions between key governmental bodies.

Bitcoin (BTC) is priced at $87,648.73, with a market cap of $1.75 trillion, showing a 24-hour gain of 1.79% despite a weekly loss of 4.99%. Trading volume reached $41.42 billion, declining by 6.93%, according to CoinMarketCap.

Coincu research highlights potential implications of Russia’s rigid stance on crypto payments, suggesting a cautious regulatory path until 2026. Expansion may involve broader access within Russia’s limited “experimental legal regime” to include banks in crypto-related activities. Bitcoin mining is also under scrutiny as part of economic strategy considerations.

Curve Finance votes on revenue-sharing model for CRV holders

The post Curve Finance votes on revenue-sharing model for CRV holders appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Curve Finance has proposed a new protocol called Yield Basis that would share revenue directly with CRV holders, marking a shift from one-off incentives to sustainable income. Summary Curve Finance has put forward a revenue-sharing protocol to give CRV holders sustainable income beyond emissions and fees. The plan would mint $60M in crvUSD to seed three Bitcoin liquidity pools (WBTC, cbBTC, tBTC), with 35–65% of revenue distributed to veCRV stakers. The DAO vote runs from up to Sept. 24, with the proposal seen as a major step to strengthen CRV tokenomics after past liquidity and governance challenges.

A new model for CRV rewards Yield Basis is designed to distribute transparent and consistent returns to CRV holders who lock their tokens for veCRV governance rights. Unlike past incentive programs, which relied heavily on airdrops and emissions, the protocol channels income from Bitcoin-focused liquidity pools directly back to token holders. To start, Curve would mint $60 million worth of crvUSD, its over-collateralized stablecoin, with proceeds allocated across three pools — WBTC, cbBTC, and tBTC — each capped at $10 million. 25% of Yield Basis tokens would be reserved for the Curve ecosystem, and between 35% and 65% of Yield Basis’s revenue would be given to veCRV holders. By emphasizing Bitcoin (BTC) liquidity and offering yields without the short-term loss risks associated with automated market makers, the protocol hopes to draw in professional traders and institutions.
