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

专家解释说，来自俄罗斯央行的新加密法规可以有效地取缔该国的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，他们说，新规定不会阻止俄罗斯公司在跨境贸易交易中使用USDT或其他Stablecoins作为付款或结算工具。

USDT Trading in Russia: Under Threat?

USDT在俄罗斯交易：受到威胁？

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.

媒体报道说，该银行在其加密货币盒内批准交易之前已发布了规则。规则定于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.

建立沙箱是为了允许俄罗斯公司在国际贸易协议中使用加密货币。它在中央银行的监督下运作。

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.

莫斯科正准备在未来几周内扩展这种沙箱。这将使合格或“超级合格”的投资者有许可在中央银行批准的交换平台上交易加密货币。

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

但是，该银行的最新规则规定了将允许投资者进行交易的硬币投资者的参数。

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."

这些规则指出，硬币“不得与敌对发行人发行的证券有关”。他们还注意到有必要在“友好国家”中立足于与项目打交道。

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.

在这里，“敌对”是指强加或遵守对俄罗斯制裁制度的国家。 “友好”是指对莫斯科采取中立立场的国家。

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."

这些规则还包括似乎禁止使用硬币的条款，这些硬币可能“可能会被发行人本身或控制款项的付款代理商或个人所阻挡”。

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

这似乎也指命令操作员燃烧属于俄罗斯人的代币的可能性。

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报道说，如果双方达成某些协议，俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京和乌克兰对手Volodymyr Zelenskiy之间的会议可能会发生。

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

中央银行没有在其规则中明确命名任何加密货物，也没有直接谈论可能的USDT禁令。

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

但是专家们同意，最受欢迎的美元固定稳定剂不符合银行的要求。

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税务和法律部门的董事Georgy Gukasyan（以前是德勤的俄罗斯分支机构）说，中央银行的定义“相当广泛，可能涵盖一些稳定的人”。

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."

俄罗斯加密法规专家委员会成员Mikhail Uspensky表示，USDT“不符合该银行的新标准，这意味着它将无法在俄罗斯传播。”

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."

与此同时，古加斯安（Gukasyan）解释说，莱卡斯安（Gukasyan）向USDT持有人提供菲亚特美元的义务“仅适用于某些代币持有人。”

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

他解释说，为了宣称美元，USDT令牌持有人必须通过知道自己的客户和反洗钱方案。

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

但是，古加斯安说，这些相同的协议与对俄罗斯实施的制裁“完全合规”。

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

这意味着“全权酌情决定”系绳可以“拒绝赎回”属于未能通过其验证检查的人的硬币。

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说，USDT发行人还具有“随时自行决定，都可以封锁位于任何用户钱包中的令牌。”

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.

专家指出，俄罗斯Garantex加密交易所的案例为例。今年3月，美国当局控制了Garantex的域名，并冻结了价值2600万美元的资金。

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

系绳与华盛顿的镇压合作，冻结了在Garantex钱包中举行的数百万美元的代币。
