According to recent reports, Moscow is working with Sberbank and Alfa Bank to widen regulated crypto access after the September 1 trading and custody rules. Sberbank wants infrastructure live by December 1, Alfa is testing for qualified clients, and retail remains capped while banks face a proposed 1% capital limit. Key Details: > Framework: Russian crypto trading and custody rules in force since September 1. > Banks: Sberbank targeting infrastructure by December 1. Alfa Bank testing for qualified investors. > Retail: still restricted, with tests and purchase caps. > Bank risk limit: proposed 1% of capital. > U.S.: Clarity Act has not passed.
