Sberbank, Russia’s largest bank, has secured regulatory approval to launch crypto trading for all customers starting Dec. 1 🚀
The bank began internal testing this month, allowing trades of Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Tether (USDT) directly through its mobile app. Regulators confirmed the green light after a review of the bank’s AML and KYC safeguards. By opening the service to retail users, Sberbank could accelerate crypto adoption across the country, where demand has surged despite tightening sanctions.
