№ 1772Published Updated 1 min read

From November 22, 2026, Russian exchanges will be able to offer trading in Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and USDT. To do so, they will need to agree on the rules with the Bank of Russia in advance and report every transaction.

The annual limit for retail buyers will be 300 000 rubles, and they will have to pass a test before trading. VTB plans to launch its service in November, while Sberbank and the Moscow Exchange plan to do so on December 1.

BeInCrypto reports that the Moscow Exchange and its clearing organization are under US sanctions. This could create risks for USDT transactions, as Tether blocks wallets linked to sanctioned activity.
