While theEuropean Unionon the proposal of the Italian premier Mario Draghistudies “further targeted measures against the oligarchs, creating a public international register of those with assets exceeding 10 million euros”And to“ further increase the pressure on Russian central bankalso asking the Bank for International Settlements, which is based in Switzerland, to participate in the sanctions ”, the Russian war offensive in Ukraine now makes bitcoin fly. An opposite effect after the slip accused last week with the start of the blitz of Moscow to Kiev which had led the cryptocurrency to drop towards share 35,000 dollars.
