Elvira Nabiullina, the head of the Central Bank of Russia, during a press conference, announced her position. She admitted that the government would not allow purchasing and selling ETFs based on BTC futures.
According to RBC, she highlighted this prohibition in response to a question of whether or not the Russian financial regulator goes to observe the decision made by the American Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and if the country plans to categorize or not BTC ETFs within the country.
