Russia Prepares Crypto Investor Tests as Brokers Get First Access

  • —Draft standards were submitted to a Bank of Russia committee last week
  • —Nonqualified investors are capped at 300,000 rubles of crypto per year per intermediary
  • —A separate framework is being developed for digital financial asset investors
  • —The testing regime stems from Federal Law No. 282-FZ, in force since September 1
Why it matters: Russia is formalizing crypto access through licensed intermediaries, limiting retail investors to a whitelist of highly liquid assets.
