Russia’s legislative committee approved a crypto trading bill that would permit trading in major digital assets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, while imposing strict qualification thresholds. Under the proposal, eligible tokens must have an average market capitalization of 5 trillion rubles, daily trading volume of 1 trillion rubles, and at least five years of trading history. The Bank of Russia would determine the official list of approved assets, and privacy coins would be banned. The measure reflects a tightly controlled framework for crypto market access centered on large, liquid, and established tokens.
