Russia’s Largest Bank Scraps Crypto Plans Even with Pro-Bitcoin CEO
By CCN: Sberbank, the largest bank in Russia, is scrapping its crypto plans, citing the anti-bitcoin sentiments of government regulators. Ironically, the CEO of Sberbank, Herman Gref, is a bitcoin proponent. However, others at Sberbank are not convinced of the merits of virtual currencies, so they’re suspending all cryptocurrency-related projects.
