Bastrykin said that in some special cases, police could use existing laws to seize and freeze coins, such as bank accounts, finance and money laundering.
However, the president pointed out that distribution is a difficult issue for workers and officials who are trying to be fair, and workers should seek help from cryptocurrency companies in special circumstances to transfer money. money to the state when there is a law.
The Research Council said it resolved 331 special cases according to law in the first nine months of 2021, but to better manage crypto assets in this case, workers need to change representatives, Bastrykin said.
