Russia's Central Bank in talks on mutual market access for Belarusian crypto platforms

  • Chistyukhin said talks with the Belarusian side have not been interrupted
  • The two sides must assess how compatible their adopted rules are
  • Belarus' central bank approved a list of 26 cryptocurrencies and 11 operation types
  • The EU extended crypto sanctions to all Belarusian service providers from Aug. 25, 2026
Why it matters: Mutual access would give Belarusian platforms entry to Russian clients, but requires aligning rules and accounting for EU sanctions.
