Russia's central bank to cap bank crypto exposure at 1% of capital

  • The maximum risk on crypto operations for banks is 1%
  • N31 (solo) and N32 (consolidated) ratios are being introduced
  • Reporting under the new ratios starts in January 2027
  • For unqualified investors, the limit is 300,000 rubles per year and only BTC, ETH, USDT
Why it matters: Russian banks are getting a hard cap on crypto exposure, which curbs institutional demand for digital assets inside the country.
