Russia's Finance Ministry Opposes Dollar-Denominated Stablecoin Trading; USDT and USDC Face Freeze Risk

USDC-0.02%
According to Ivan Chebeskov, Deputy Finance Minister of Russia, on June 4, the Russian Finance Ministry opposes allowing dollar-denominated stablecoins to be traded in the country. Chebeskov warned that if USDT and USDC were permitted, issuers could directly freeze assets in user wallets, with documented cases of U.S. dollar stablecoins already frozen for Russian legal entities. The Finance Ministry is developing specialized legislation prioritizing ruble-linked and friendly-nation currency tokens, with the central bank retaining authority to adjust the approved list.
