Russia's Central Bank eases crypto regulations for qualified investors, enabling derivatives and securities linked to cryptocurrency prices while maintaining oversight.
The Bank of Russia has permitted financial institutions to offer crypto-linked investment products, including derivatives and tokenized securities, to accredited investors. This decision follows a 51% increase in crypto transaction volumes, totaling approximately $92.9 billion. T-Bank has initiated Bitcoin investment offerings under this policy, although direct cryptocurrency investments remain discouraged by the central bank.
