Sberbank and Moscow Exchange plan crypto trading launch by December 1

  • —Moscow Exchange has tested crypto trades for a week, targeting a December 1 launch
  • —Coins will be held at a partner digital depository, not on the exchange itself
  • —Sberbank is testing BTC, ETH and USDT in its main app, SberInvestments and SberBusiness
  • —On October 6 Sberbank became the first Russian bank in the central bank's digital depository registry
Why it matters: The launch would give Russian retail users bank-based crypto access, but the coin list and timing hinge on central bank rules.
