Russia Restricts Retail Crypto Trading to BTC, ETH, and USDT
Russia is set to restrict retail crypto trading to three major assets: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT. This move aims to simplify regulations for investors and improve oversight of the market.
The new rules will impose an annual purchase limit of 300,000 rubles (approximately $3,600) per intermediary for non-qualified investors. In contrast, qualified investors will not face any limits on their purchases.
This development is part of a broader effort to establish clearer guidelines for the crypto market in Russia. As the country continues to navigate its stance on cryptocurrencies, this move reflects a desire to balance investor protection with market freedom.
