Moscow Exchange plans to launch crypto trading on December 1, 2026

  • —Crypto trading on the Moscow Exchange is slated to start on December 1, 2026
  • —The bourse is betting on market makers and institutional investors
  • —No crypto depository licence planned; it will use a partner depository
  • —Participants expect local prices to trade at a discount to global venues
Why it matters: The launch would give Russian institutions a regulated route into crypto, though the risk of a price discount to global markets persists.
