The special statement also declared that there was no plan for the country to consider placing any sort of virtual money on the legal agenda and advised citizens to stay away from using them. This has served to further reduce the interest of potential investors into cryptocurrencies. At the same time, the CBU\u2019s statement failed to include any talk of introducing prohibitive measures, leaving cryptocurrencies in a sort of limbo where they are not allowed but also not prohibited.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rpbt_shortcode\">\n\n<div id='rpbt-related-gallery-1' class='gallery related-gallery related-galleryid-7380 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Startups and London in the wake of Brexit'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/startups-and-london-in-the-wake-of-brexit\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/startups-and-london-in-the-wake-of-brexit-e1549898335319-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-12254\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-12254'>\n\t\t\t\tStartups and London in the wake of Brexit\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='The brave new world of open banking in the Asia-Pacific region'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/the-brave-new-world-of-open-banking-in-the-asia-pacific-region\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/the-brave-new-world-of-open-banking-in-the-asia-pacific-region-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-12965\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-12965'>\n\t\t\t\tThe brave new world of open banking in the Asia-Pacific region\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='The problem of Bitcoin\u2019s energy usage'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/the-problem-of-bitcoin-s-energy-usage\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/the-problem-of-bitcoin-s-energy-usage-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-10949\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-10949'>\n\t\t\t\tThe problem of Bitcoin\u2019s energy usage\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Central Bank of Uzbekistan (CBU) has released a special statement calling virtual money an instrument for financing terrorism.
