Russia's Economy Ministry to Scrap Digital Platform Registry Thresholds, Speeding Up Digital Ruble Adoption
- —The removal of thresholds will be part of amendments to the platform economy law
- —The registry currently includes 13 services: Wildberries, Ozon, Avito, Lamoda, AliExpress and others
- —Platforms accounted for nearly 70% of Russian online commerce in 2025
- —Russians opened more than 220,000 digital ruble accounts in the first month
Why it matters: Scrapping the thresholds would extend uniform rules to smaller platforms and accelerate digital ruble acceptance, setting a template for crypto exchange regulation.
