Legal Crypto Definitions
The Russian government has officially published the draft federal law entitled “On Digital Financial Assets” which regulates cryptocurrencies in Russia.
This draft law was introduced by the country’s finance ministry at the end of December. It was followed by much discussion and amendments to the bill before it was finally released to the public on Wednesday. Article 5 of the document states that “This federal law shall enter into force 90 days after the date of its official publication.” According to the document:
This federal law regulates the relations arising in the creation, issuance, storage and circulation of digital financial assets, as well as the exercise of rights and performance of obligations under smart contracts.
The draft law provides Russia’s official cryptocurrency-related definitions for the first time including the definition of cryptocurrency, tokens, smart contracts, crypto exchanges, and mining.
Cryptocurrency is defined as “a type of digital financial asset created and accounted for in the distributed registry of digital transactions by participants in this registry in accordance with the rules of maintaining the registry of digital transactions.” Meanwhile, a token is defined as “a type of a digital financial asset that is issued by a legal entity or an individual entrepreneur (hereinafter referred to as an issuer) in order to attract financing and is recorded in the registry of digital records.”
As for mining, it is deemed “an entrepreneurial activity aimed at creating a cryptocurrency and / or validation in order to receive compensation in the form of a cryptocurrency.” Mining activities are subsequently described as “legally valid” actions.
Rights to Exchange to Other Assets
The document clarifies that Russians have the right to trade their cryptocurrencies for other digital assets and for fiat currency, stating:
Holders of digital financial assets have the right to make transactions for the exchange of digital financial assets of one type for digital financial assets of another type and / or the exchange of digital financial assets for rubles, foreign currency and / or other property only through the exchange operator of digital financial assets.
“Citizens of Russia will be able to buy and sell cryptocurrencies and tokens only through professional participants of the securities market,” Forbes Russia emphasized.
Exchanges and Wallets
After providing the definition of cryptocurrency exchanges, the document proceeds to explain, as also previously reported by news.Bitcoin.com.
Operators of the exchange of digital financial assets can only be legal entities.
The exchanges must be “established in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation and carry out the types of activities specified in Articles 3 to 5 of Federal Law No. 39-FZ of April 22, 1996 ‘On the Securities Market’.” Alternatively, they can also be “legal entities that are the organizers of trade in accordance with the Federal Law of November 21, 2011 No. 325-FZ ‘On Organized Trading’.”
The document also puts restrictions on wallets. A wallet is defined as “a software and hardware tool that allows you to store information about digital records and provide access.” However, the draft law states that a wallet must be “opened by the operator of exchange of digital financial assets only after passing the procedures of identification of its owner in accordance with the Federal Law of August 7, 2001.”
Token Sales and Their Investors
A large part of the document addresses initial coin offerings (ICOs). It specifies rules for token sales such as the issuing procedures and what documents and information need to be disclosed prior to the sales. For each ICO, the issuer must also provide an investment memorandum containing all information related to the issuer and the tokens. The rules state:
An offer for the release of tokens, an investment memorandum, rules for keeping the register of digital transactions, as well as other documents…must be published no later than 3 working days before specified in the offer for the release of tokens.
Furthermore, tokens “may not be offered to potential purchasers in any form or by any means using advertising” prior to the publication of an offer for the release of tokens. In addition, the draft law imposes restrictions on non-qualified investors, stating:
Persons who are not qualified investors in accordance with the Federal Law No. 39-FZ of April 22, 1996 ‘On the Securities Market’ can purchase tokens in the amount of not more than fifty thousand rubles within a single issue.

This is a quick guide to making money from cryptocurrency pump and dump groups. With the steps that I lay out in this guide, I have made over $15,000 in profit already. There is no reason you can't do it too.
Disclaimer: This is risky and you can easily lose money!
Steps
- Create an account on the website - Click here
- Create an account on Binance - Click here
- You'll need to have some Bitcoin on your Binance account, so get some Bitcoin on there.
- Check when the next pump is on Discord by looking at the #news room.
- As the pump approaches, open Binance and ensure that you are logged in and viewing the exchange page.
- Have the #pump-signal room open in Discord.
- The coin to be pumped will be announced in #pump-signal room on Discord, the key is to buy this coin as fast as possible on Binance when it appears on Discord. The faster you buy the coin, the more likely you will be to make a profit and the bigger the profit will be. This is a game about speed. Any way you can optimise and become faster at buying and reacting to the coin being announced, use that to your advantage. I recommend using a market order to buy up as fast as possible.
- The final step is choosing when to sell. Personally, I sell usually when the 24 hour profit of the coin hits 100%. Some pumps have gone as high as 800%. That means if you bought and then sold optimally during that 800% pump, you'll have made 8 times the amount of money you put in. $1,000 becomes $8,000! Again I recommend using a market sell order for this to get out as soon as possible.
Tips & Tricks
These are some of my personal tips and tricks to optimise your chances of making profits on these pumps and dumps!
Only put in what you are willing to lose, people do lose in these all of the time. With winners come a lot of losers.
Have Binance and Discord open side-by-side and have the Binance exchange window with the filter coin textbox on the right-hand side focused. You want to get to that page to buy that coin as fast as possible, do anything possible to lessen the time it takes you to get there.
Don't be greedy. If you see a profit you would be happy with, execute a market sell order and take your profits! There are always more pumps and dumps. Stay safe.
I highly recommend using market buy and sell orders to lessen the amount of time it takes you to buy and sell the coin but advanced users may experiment with limit orders.
These pumps and dumps last less than a minute usually, so don't hold on too long or you'll make your chances of making a loss higher and higher as you keep holding.
Use Google Chrome! These pumps put a lot of stress on your browser, you need to use the best browser available for processing a ton of updates!
