Commitment to digital currencies
While Belarus has stated its intentions to become a friendly territory for cryptocurrency users, these actions by President Lukashenko are aimed precisely at laying the groundwork for a much fairer regulation, which will create a space where the crypto ecosystem can develop much more fully, including trading activities and cryptocurrency mining.
Let’s keep in mind that in September last year, the president asked the government to promote cryptocurrency mining a process where blocks are added to a blockchain, verifying transactions. It is also the process through which new bitcoin or some altcoins are created. by making use of additional power infrastructure. Prior to this, the largest local bank, Belarusbank, habilitó un servicio de intercambio para monedas digitales.
Another noteworthy aspect is that the steps taken by Belarus would be creating a gap between the nation and its neighbors and regional partners in crypto matters. In this regard, the position of Russia stands out, which maintains an ambivalent stance towards these assets, although in recent comments President Vladimir Putin asked the government to enable the necessary ways to promote greater adoption of digital currencies, despite the refusal of the authorities of the Central Bank who opted more for prohibiting their use and marketing.
