🪙🇷🇺 Russia Wants Crypto Ban—But Trump’s BTC Reserve Is Stirring Debate

Russia’s Central Bank Governor Nabiullina is back on her usual beat—calling for a nationwide crypto ban, this time with criminal penalties for using crypto in payments.

🔻 Wants to block all crypto settlements between residents (except in the ELR sandbox)

🔻 Pushes for full ban on trading, mining, and owning crypto

🔻 Says crypto should never enter Russia’s central bank reserves

But not everyone’s on board. 😮

🔸 Industry leaders in Moscow say Russia must respond to Trump’s BTC reserve

🔸 They want to analyze crypto use in trade, especially cross-border

🔸 Ministry of Finance open to “super-qualified investors” trading crypto

So while the Central Bank is slamming the brakes, others in Russia are eyeing Bitcoin as a strategic hedge.

Split views. Global pressure. One big question—can Russia really stay anti-crypto in 2025?
