On January 1, the price of Bitcoin against the ruble was around 3.77 million rubles. Since the beginning of the year, the first cryptocurrency has risen in price in Russian rubles by more than 85%. The Bitcoin exchange rate to the US dollar increased by 71% during the same time.
In Russian online exchange services, the price for one bitcoin now starts from 7 million rubles, and, for example, on the p2p platform of the Bybit exchange, one bitcoin costs approximately 7.1 million rubles.
Earlier, the Chairman of the State Duma Committee on the Financial Market, Anatoly Aksakov, said:
that in the future in Russia it will be possible to exchange bitcoins for digital rubles. With the advent of such an exchange tool, the need for p2p platforms based on crypto exchanges will disappear, a high-ranking deputy believes.
