Moscow Exchange not planning to launch trading in cryptocurrency

MOSCOW. Sept 2 (Interfax) - Moscow Exchange does not intend to participate in the experiment on exchange trading in cryptocurrency, Nikolai Trunichkin, head of digital projects and products at the exchange, said.

The State Duma in July adopted a package of laws on the experiment to legalize digital currencies in Russia, including the possibility of exchange trading in cryptocurrency under the oversight of the Central Bank of Russia.

"The Moscow Exchange has no plans to trade in cryptocurrency," Trunichkin told reporters.

The SPB Exchange previously reported plans to participate actively in the experiment on exchange trading in cryptocurrency.
