Bank of Russia names crypto a top risk to monetary sovereignty
- —The Bank of Russia included crypto and stablecoins in its list of top financial market risks for 2027–2029
- —The annual crypto trading limit for retail investors is about $3,700
- —The regulator proposes criminal liability for unlicensed exchanges and platforms
- —Exporters and importers may use Bitcoin in settlements under an experimental regime
Why it matters: Russia is legalizing crypto for external settlements but tightly restricting domestic circulation, which reduces liquidity and market accessibility for local investors.
