The Moscow Exchange, in an effort to obtain the status of the TsFA exchange operator, has sent a bill on the issue of receipt based on digital assets to the Central Bank.

Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Moscow Exchange Sergey Shvetsov at the XIX International Banking Forum reported, that the trading platform has sent an application for issuing receipts based on digital financial assets (CFA):

“We have prepared the project, which allows you to issue receipts for digital assets, Further - these receipts are addressed as securities. Those, who is not ready to open accounts in distributed registers, Afraid of castodial risks, will be able to transfer this risk to the accounting infrastructure in the usual form ... He will be able to produce securities ".

Shevtsov said, that Mosbirzha is interested in the development of the CF, so that the market can choose a blockchain-lecture or deposit accounting.

“If the law is adopted, Russian depository will be able to accumulate the CFA on their blockchain accounts in the blockchain, and instead give customers to give receipts. As soon as the client needs a basic asset, He extinguishes a receipt, And the CFA receives on its account in the blockchain. We have given the bill to the Central Bank, So he study. AND, naturally, without the Ministry of Finance in any way ", - explained Shvetsov.

The head of the Supervisory Board of the Mosbirzhi recalled, that the site intends to get the status of the operator of the CFF exchange. Shevtsov added, that the Central Bank softens the restrictions on investing in digital financial assets.

“An interesting question arises further. The exchange traditionally sells a product through a broker. Do I need to sell the CFA through a broker or build a direct distribution to the final buyer - this has to be understood. If the broker today is largely consultant, Helps a person to form a portfolio, then the challenge is, that part of the portfolio can be formed through a broker, And part cannot ", - reasoned the chairman of the Supervisory Board of Mosbirzhi.

Last month, the director of information technology and a member of the board of the Moscow Exchange Andrei Burilov said, that the exchange plans to launch a product based on digital financial assets (CFA) this year.
