Nearly half of Russians have heard of cryptocurrencies and 13% say they have a good understanding, a survey conducted by the research that Romir has revealed on 7 August.
Romir, a representative of the International Gallup Association in Russia, asked 1,500 Russian residents for their knowledge of cryptocurrency, as well as their plans for interacting with industry.
Of those interviewed, 44% had heard of crypto, 13% said they had a good understanding and 56% did not know
The survey also found that 31% of the interviewees replied that they could "imagine what cryptocurrencies are, but do not have a clear understanding of them".
Russia is in the middle of the formalization of its regulatory approach to the various aspects of the cryptocurrency phenomenon, including taxation, mining and the exchange of digital assets.
After years of conflicting signals from legislators In particular, the legality of Bitcoin (BTC) in particular, the first reading of the package of draft laws related to cryptocurrencies and blockchain has been successful at the beginning of this & # 39; year. The Russian government has yet to formally approve the statutes as a law.
Romir's president, Andrey Milyokhin, noted that the results of the survey "definitively proved that cryptocurrencies have not yet formed a significant financial instrument"
"In addition, the Russian company, which had previously burned the fingers with various rich schemes, in this case demonstrates a healthy skepticism. "
The other findings of the survey included a relationship between income and knowledge of the cryptographic sphere: people with lower incomes tended to learn more about cryptocurrency.
At the end of January, another encrypted investigation conducted by the All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion (VCIOM) found that over 56% of Russians had heard of Bitcoin, noting that 74% of the Russian population, the population of Moscow, is aware of the cryptocurrency.
