New crypto regulations from the Russian Central Bank could effectively outlaw the trading of Tether (USDT) in the country, experts have explained.

專家解釋說，來自俄羅斯央行的新加密法規可以有效地取締該國的Tether（USDT）交易。

However, they say that the new rules would not preclude Russian firms from using USDT or other stablecoins as payment or settlement tools in cross-border trade deals.

但是，他們說，新規定不會阻止俄羅斯公司在跨境貿易交易中使用USDT或其他Stablecoins作為付款或結算工具。

USDT Trading in Russia: Under Threat?

USDT在俄羅斯交易：受到威脅？

The media outlet reported that the bank has issued rules ahead of its approval of trading within its crypto sandbox. The rules are set to come into force on May 26.

媒體報導說，該銀行在其加密貨幣盒內批准交易之前已發布了規則。規則定於5月26日生效。

The sandbox was established with the view of allowing Russian firms to use crypto in international trade deals. It operates under the Central Bank’s supervision.

建立沙箱是為了允許俄羅斯公司在國際貿易協議中使用加密貨幣。它在中央銀行的監督下運作。

Moscow is preparing to expand this sandbox in the coming weeks. This will see qualified or "super- qualified" investors given permission to trade crypto on Central Bank-approved exchange platforms.

莫斯科正準備在未來幾週內擴展這種沙箱。這將使合格或“超級合格”的投資者有許可在中央銀行批准的交換平台上交易加密貨幣。

However, the bank’s latest rules set out parameters for the kind of coins investors will be allowed to trade.

但是，該銀行的最新規則規定了將允許投資者進行交易的硬幣投資者的參數。

These rules note that coins "must not be related to securities issued by hostile issuers." They also make note of the need to deal with projects with a foothold in "friendly countries."

這些規則指出，硬幣“不得與敵對發行人發行的證券有關”。他們還注意到有必要在“友好國家”中立足於與項目打交道。

Here, "hostile" refers to countries that have imposed or adhere to sanctions regimes on Russia. And "friendly" refers to nations who take a neutral stance toward Moscow.

在這裡，“敵對”是指強加或遵守對俄羅斯制裁制度的國家。 “友好”是指對莫斯科採取中立立場的國家。

The rules also include clauses that appear to ban the use of coins that could "possibly be blocked by either the issuers themselves or the payment agents or individuals who control them."

這些規則還包括似乎禁止使用硬幣的條款，這些硬幣可能“可能會被發行人本身或控制款項的付款代理商或個人所阻擋”。

This also appears to refer to the possibility that operators could be ordered to burn tokens belonging to Russians.

這似乎也指命令操作員燃燒屬於俄羅斯人的代幣的可能性。

A meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskiy could take place if the two sides come to certain agreements, Interfax reported — Bloomberg (@business) Other Stablecoins Also Under Threat?

Interfax報導說，如果雙方達成某些協議，俄羅斯總統弗拉基米爾·普京和烏克蘭對手Volodymyr Zelenskiy之間的會議可能會發生。

The Central Bank did not explicitly name any cryptoassets in its rules, nor did it speak directly about a possible USDT ban.

中央銀行沒有在其規則中明確命名任何加密貨物，也沒有直接談論可能的USDT禁令。

But experts concur that most popular USD-pegged stablecoins would not fit the bank’s requirements.

但是專家們同意，最受歡迎的美元固定穩定劑不符合銀行的要求。

Georgy Gukasyan, Director of the Tax and Legal Department at DRT (formerly Deloitte’s Russian Branch), said that the Central Bank’s definitions were "quite broad and may cover some stablecoins."

DRT稅務和法律部門的董事Georgy Gukasyan（以前是德勤的俄羅斯分支機構）說，中央銀行的定義“相當廣泛，可能涵蓋一些穩定的人”。

Mikhail Uspensky, a member of Russia's expert council on crypto regulation, said USDT "does not meet the bank's new criteria, meaning it will not be able to circulate in Russia."

俄羅斯加密法規專家委員會成員Mikhail Uspensky表示，USDT“不符合該銀行的新標準，這意味著它將無法在俄羅斯傳播。”

Uspensky added that the bank has been working on the regulations for some time. And he also noted that "the use of stablecoins in international settlements is not prohibited."Elvira Nabiullina, Governor of the Russian Central Bank. (Source: Bank of Russia/YouTube/Screenshot)KYC Complications

Gukasyan, meanwhile, explained that Tether's obligations to provide fiat US dollars to USDT holders "only exist for a certain group of token holders."

與此同時，古加斯安（Gukasyan）解釋說，萊卡斯安（Gukasyan）向USDT持有人提供菲亞特美元的義務“僅適用於某些代幣持有人。”

He explained that in order to claim dollars, USDT token holders must pass Know-Your-Customer and Anti-Money Laundering protocols.

他解釋說，為了宣稱美元，USDT令牌持有人必須通過知道自己的客戶和反洗錢方案。

But these same protocols, Gukasyan said, are "fully compliant" with sanctions imposed on Russia.

但是，古加斯安說，這些相同的協議“完全合規”對俄羅斯實施的製裁。

This means that Tether, "at its sole discretion," could "refuse to redeem" coins belonging to people who fail to pass its verification checks.

這意味著“全權酌情決定”繫繩可以“拒絕贖回”屬於未能通過其驗證檢查的人的硬幣。

Gukasyan said that the USDT issuer also has the ability to block tokens located "in the wallet of any user, at its sole discretion, at any time."

Gukasyan說，USDT發行人還具有“隨時自行決定，都可以封鎖位於任何用戶錢包中的令牌。”

The expert pointed at the case of the Russian Garantex crypto exchange as an example. In March this year, American authorities took control of Garantex's domains and froze $26 million worth of funds.

專家指出，俄羅斯Garantex加密交易所的案例為例。今年3月，美國當局控制了Garantex的域名，並凍結了價值2600萬美元的資金。

Tether cooperated with the Washington crackdown, freezing millions of USDT tokens held in Garantex wallets.

繫繩與華盛頓的鎮壓合作，凍結了在Garantex錢包中舉行的數百萬美元的代幣。
