Moscow Exchange to Start Crypto Trading on December 1 via Partner Depository

  • —Testing is underway with professional participants ahead of a December 1 launch
  • —Unqualified investors capped at 300,000 rubles per year for BTC, ETH and USDT
  • —Settlement via a partner digital depository; client documents not yet published
  • —Qualified investors get a wider list of coins without the reported cap
Why it matters: The depository model may give buyers a claim on an intermediary rather than actual coins, a key risk factor for Russian investors.
