The bill states that there will be certain specified economic zones, which will permit business and firms, persons and specialists to conduct experiments with various cryptos, without violating any state law. In the absence of lawful frame, these emerging technologies are not being utilized to their full potential, by these firms.

The state wants to hold back on its monitoring mechanisms, to promote these initiatives by various ventures. This bill plans to boost modernization in the state, while maintaining a semblance of flexible control. This allows people to enjoy financial freedom.

The present Russian laws have been declared obsolete by the Russian civil society development advisor. He has stated that the state’s control mechanism needs to be evaluated and adjusted according to the needs of the hour, which is to allow a lawful framework for the growth of novel technical organizations.
