Russia to Launch State-Run Crypto Exchange for Qualified Investors
Russia’s Ministry of Finance and Central Bank are collaborating to establish a cryptocurrency exchange under the country’s experimental legal regime. The platform will exclusively serve ’super-qualified investors,’ marking a significant step toward regulated digital asset transactions in Russia.
Finance Minister Anton Siluanov confirmed the initiative during a ministry meeting in Moscow. The exchange represents a compromise between Minfin’s push for crypto legalization and the central bank’s historically cautious stance.
