Russia is going all in on Crypto...
Crypto trading operations could begin on Russian exchanges as early as November 22, 2026, according to a Bank of Russia press release quoted by state news agency TASS.
The timing depends on whether the platforms have received the central bank's approval of their internal market regulations.
The governing document has already been registered with the country's Ministry of Justice and states that the platforms should meet the same regulatory requirements as other financial institutions.
Assets like $XRP, $BTC, and $ETH could become tradable on Russian exchanges shortly.
