[Wu Blockchain News] Russian Central Bank: Exchanges May Conduct Crypto Trading from November 22, Subject to Prior Approval of Trading Rules
Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
The Bank of Russia has cleared domestic exchanges to begin cryptocurrency trading from November 22, 2026, contingent on first agreeing trading rules with the regulator; the directive has been registered with the Russian Ministry of Justice. Exchanges must register brokers, trustees and central counterparties as participants, keep order and transaction records, monitor activity, and calculate spot, weighted-average, market and closing prices. They must also report trading data and results to the central bank under existing procedures used for other assets. The move marks a formal opening of Russia's regulated exchange infrastructure to crypto, shifting oversight onto venues rather than issuers. What to watch next is the pace of rule approvals and participant registrations ahead of the November 2026 start date.
