The Bank of Russia has included Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether's USDT as eligible cryptocurrencies for public trading on Russian exchanges under a new digital assets law effective September 1. The law sets strict criteria including high market capitalization and trading volume, and limits retail investors to $3,690 yearly purchases with a risk test. Qualified investors face no purchase cap but must pass testing. Crypto cannot be used for payments in Russia and trading must occur through licensed intermediaries. The move mainly formalizes existing holdings rather than creating new demand, with USDT's inclusion significant for cross-border trade settlements. Public feedback on the draft closes August 24, with licensing starting September 1 and full retail rollout expected by late 2026.
