The Bank of Russia announced that peer‑to‑peer Bitcoin trading will be prohibited in the country. Russians have until July 1, 2027 to buy and sell cryptocurrency directly with one another. After that date, all crypto transactions must go through a broker or exchange that has received approval from the central bank. The rule pushes trading onto regulated platforms, aiming to bring the activity under official oversight. It marks a notable shift in how Russian users can access Bitcoin and other digital assets.
