Russia approves Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT for retail trading, excludes XRP

Russia's central bank has approved Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether's USDT for retail trading on domestic exchanges under a new licensed crypto market regime. This regime includes rules like using approved intermediaries, passing risk tests, and a 300,000-ruble annual trading cap per intermediary. XRP, despite being part of institutional offerings, is excluded from retail access due to regulatory concerns. Market watchers will monitor further regulatory changes and Ripple Labs' actions that could affect XRP's retail availability and price.
