Russia Finalizes Crypto Trading Rules
Russia's central bank has finalized rules allowing exchanges to offer Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH) and Tether USDt (USDT) to retail investors starting November 17. Non-qualified investors can purchase up to 300,000 rubles (around $3,700) in cryptocurrency annually through each intermediary, including brokers, asset managers and crypto exchange providers. Qualified investors face no purchase limits, but all investors must pass a mandatory test before trading. The regulatory developments come as Moscow Exchange prepares to launch cryptocurrency trading on December 1, initially offering the three cryptocurrencies through pilot transactions.
