🇷🇺 Russia Sets July 2027 End Date for Self-Custody Crypto
📅 From July 1, 2027, residents may trade only via licensed brokers or registered exchanges
🚫 Direct P2P trades between individuals end that day
🔑 Moving coins from a regulated account to your own wallet is not allowed
📜 Rules come from Law 282-FZ, in force since Sept 1; guidance updated Oct 12
🏦 13 firms are licensed exchanges, incl. Sberbank and VTB
📊 About 98% of investors are "unqualified" and capped at 300,000 rubles (~$3.3K) a year per intermediary
What it means for crypto: Russia is legalising crypto but routing it through watched channels, squeezing self-custody.
$BTC is near $82.8K, up ~1.3% today.
