Russia’s Central Bank has greenlit crypto-linked financial instruments for qualified investors, though with strict limitations. These non-deliverable derivatives allow exposure to crypto price movements without direct asset ownership. The move aligns with broader efforts to regulate digital assets while maintaining caution.

  • Russia’s Central Bank allows crypto-linked derivatives but restricts access to qualified investors with strict capital requirements.
  • A proposed pilot program may limit crypto transactions to investors holding over $1.1M in assets or earning $570K annually.
  • Russia is developing a government-run crypto exchange to regulate digital asset transactions under an experimental legal framework.
