Russia’s central bank has approved financial institutions to offer crypto-linked investment products, but only to accredited investors. This cautious move reflects growing global interest in digital assets while maintaining regulatory oversight.

  • Only accredited investors (100M+ rubles in assets or 50M+ rubles annual income) can access crypto-linked products.
  • Russian banks like T-Bank are already offering Bitcoin-linked assets via Atomyze’s platform.
  • The move mirrors global trends, including Swiss banks’ crypto-collateralized loans and U.S. banks’ stablecoin plans.
