🇷🇺 Putin just signed Russia's first comprehensive crypto law—this is massive for Eastern liquidity flows.
$BTC $ETH $USDT now legal for trading. Crypto = legal property under Russian law.
Key points:
• Licensed exchanges under Central Bank watch
• Mining + custody officially regulated
• Retail capped at 300k rubles/year (~$3,800)
• Qualified investors? No limits.
The catch: Still banned for everyday payments. So you can trade and stack, but can't buy your coffee with it.
This opens the door for institutional capital from Russia while keeping retail on a leash. Watch for exchange volume spikes in RUB pairs over the next few months.
