🚨 BREAKING: RUSSIA IS RESTRICTING RETAIL CRYPTO ACCESS. 🇷🇺
Starting July 1, 2026, non-qualified retail investors will reportedly only be allowed to trade:
✅ Bitcoin ($BTC ) ✅ Ethereum ($ETH ) ✅ $USDT
All other digital assets will be restricted unless an investor qualifies as a professional.
The proposal also includes:
📋 Mandatory crypto risk-awareness testing 💰 An annual purchase limit of 300,000 rubles (about $4,000) for retail investors ⚖️ Stricter access rules for higher-risk assets
The message is clear:
Regulators are increasingly distinguishing between major crypto assets and the rest of the market.
