🇷🇺 Russia Legalizes Crypto Trading Today — $3,700 Cap for Retail, No Limit for Pros🔥

Russia's crypto market just flipped from grey zone to fully regulated — overnight.

📰 Starting today (Sept 1, 2026), Russia's first comprehensive crypto law takes effect. All trading must now run through licensed exchanges, brokers, and custodians registered with the state. Retail investors can buy top liquid assets — $BTC , $ETH , and USDT — capped at ₽300,000 (~$3,700) per year per intermediary, after passing a mandatory knowledge test. Qualified investors face no such limit.

📊 Domestic crypto payments remain banned, but cross-border trade settlements are now allowed — a clear lifeline for sanctioned businesses. Full licensing rollout extends into 2027, with some rules on issuance kicking in Sept 2027.

💰 Sberbank forecasts up to ₽4T (~$46.4B) in year-one trading volume, potentially climbing to ₽7.5T (~$87B) by 2029.

💬 Could this become the regulatory blueprint for other sanctioned economies? Sound off below. 👇
