Russia just set a date for exchange-traded crypto.
The Bank of Russia's directive, now registered by the Justice Ministry, lets domestic exchanges run organized crypto trading from Nov 22, but only after the central bank approves each venue's rules. Retail access starts Nov 17: $BTC, $ETH and USDT only, capped at 300,000 rubles a year per intermediary, after a knowledge test. Moscow Exchange is targeting a Dec 1 pilot.
Price didn't care tonight. Binance at ~22:20 ICT: $BTC ~$73,586 (−1.0% 24h), $ETH ~$2,059 (−0.6%). BTC Wilder RSI14: 4H 38.1 / 1D 33.5.
Watch $73,390, then the Nov 10 low at $72,727. Bulls need $74,180 back, then $75,550.
Real new demand, or just a regulated wrapper for flows that already exist?
