Pirmatov responded that the country is not in any way late to the crypto space, noting that it has taken out time to carefully observe the space over time. "I do not think that the National Bank is late. We, like many central banks and financial regulators in the world, are carefully observing and studying this issue,” Pirmatov said adding that the bank is somewhat holistic in its approach to the ecosystem with considerations for miners, (DeFi), and all innovations associated with the industry.
“We are talking about decentralized finance, where we are attracted by the possibility of innovation. That is, we do not keep the issue of miners or about some separate part. We are interested in the opportunities for innovation that these new technologies give us.”
Based on this, Pirmatov said the bank is going to continue making consultations in order not to introduce a policy that will affect macroeconomic stability and “the interests of consumers of financial services.”
