Sberbank is prepared to offer clients access to cryptocurrency trading, including margin products and AI-based investment strategies, once Russian regulation is introduced and organized exchange trading is launched, Senior Vice President and Head of Wealth Management Ruslan Vesterovsky said at the Moscow Exchange forum, according to TASS. 

The Bank of Russia in December 2025 published a regulatory concept under which both qualified and non-qualified investors may purchase crypto assets; digital currencies and stablecoins are classified as currency assets that can be traded but not used for domestic payments. Non-qualified investors would be subject to a test requirement and an annual purchase limit of 300,000 rubles ($3,934) per intermediary.
