Moscow Exchange plans BTC/RUB and BTC/USDx trading pairs

  • Planned BTC/RUB and BTC/USDx pairs form a 'triangle' with USDRUB_TOM
  • The setup would let participants place orders in rubles or quasi-dollars
  • Similar pairs are being prepared for other digital currencies
  • Timing hinges on the central bank; Russia has issued no crypto depositary licenses
Why it matters: Spot crypto pairs on Russia's largest exchange would open bitcoin access to non-qualified investors under a 300,000-ruble cap.
