Russia’s New Crypto Trading Rules: Approval Doesn’t Mean Markets Are Open
Exchanges can start crypto trading as early as November 22, but that doesn’t mean orders can necessarily be placed that day. The key prerequisite is that the trading rules must first be approved by the Bank of Russia.
According to a report by Bitcoin Magazine writer Micah Zimmerman on November 11, 2026, another regulation taking effect on November 17 will allow non-qualified investors to buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT. Annual purchases through a single intermediary will be capped at 300,000 rubles, and buyers will also need to pass a knowledge test and read a risk disclosure. The Moscow Exchange plans to launch related trading on December 1, but the report did not confirm whether its trading rules have been approved.

I’m more focused on these three steps—“rules approved → exchange actually opens for trading → trades can be completed smoothly”—rather than treating the regulation’s effective date as a market turning point. Ordinary users should also distinguish between eligibility to buy, purchase limits, and trading channels: having access arrangements doesn’t mean there are no operational restrictions or asset risks. What’s worth checking next is the exchange’s official announcements and how trading actually runs, rather than just watching the calendar and guessing at prices. 📌
