The two major stock exchanges in Russia, Moscow Exchange (MOEX) and St. Petersburg Exchange (SPB), support the Central Bank of Russia's (CBR) comprehensive cryptocurrency management plan and will implement cryptocurrency trading once the regulations come into effect.
This plan recognizes Bitcoin and stablecoins as monetary assets, tightens requirements for custodial/trading platforms, and tiers investors with annual purchase limits, as Russia prepares to expand cryptocurrency investment channels through licensed infrastructure.

The legal framework for cryptocurrency by CBR: recognition of assets and tightening conditions.
CBR's plan proposes to consider Bitcoin and stablecoins as monetary assets, with transactions processed through licensed exchanges and brokers.
Within this framework, cryptocurrency custody platforms and trading platforms will have to meet stricter requirements. The approach prioritizes traditional infrastructure (licensed exchanges/brokers) to bring cryptocurrency activities into the officially regulated sector.
Regarding timing, the regulatory framework is expected to take effect no later than 01/07/2026. Previously, the current pilot program will start in March 2025.
Investor stratification and its impact on the Russian market.
CBR proposes to impose an annual purchase limit of 300,000 rubles for unqualified investors; qualified investors are not restricted, except for privacy coins.
MOEX and SPB have stated that they will launch cryptocurrency trading once the regulations come into effect, and both exchanges have already offered cryptocurrency derivative products. This development reinforces the likelihood that cryptocurrency products will be expanded in the Russian market according to the regulatory roadmap.
Earlier in the week, there was also information that the Central Bank of Russia plans to open a cryptocurrency investment channel and propose new rules to differentiate investor levels.
