Russian President Vladimir Putin<\/strong> asserted only a year ago that no power can ban Bitcoin <\/strong>(CRYPTO: <\/a>BTC<\/a>) regardless of what happens to the dollar. While many saw it as a message to the West on international sanctions, the country has taken targeted steps to open its economy to the world\u2019s largest cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Will Continue To Grow, Said Putin<\/h2>\n

During an investment conference in Moscow on Dec. 4, 2024, Putin argued that the influence of the dollar on the global economy was waning, paving the way for the growth of other instruments.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor instance \u2013 Bitcoin. Who can prohibit its use? No one,\u201d Putin said. \u201cOr the use of other electronic ways of settlement. No one can ban the use of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Putin added that the new instruments would \u201ccontinue developing\u201d regardless of what happens to the dollar.<\/p>\n
