[Watcher Guru] JUST IN: Russia's Central Bank says exchanges can begin cryptocurrency trading from November 17th.

Russia’s Central Bank said exchanges can begin cryptocurrency trading from November 17, clearing the way for regulated venue-based crypto activity in the country. The announcement, reported by Watcher Guru, did not specify which tokens, exchanges or volume limits would be covered under the initial rollout. The move matters because Russia has previously kept crypto trading largely outside formal exchange channels, and a central-bank green light signals a shift toward supervised market access. Traders will watch the November 17 start date for details on eligible assets, exchange licensing and any caps on retail participation.
