Russian exchanges could begin offering cryptocurrency trading on November 22, 2026, following new regulatory requirements from the Bank of Russia. However, trading platforms must first secure regulatory approval for their operating rules. The Russian Ministry of Justice has already registered the central bank’s directive, establishing requirements for organized cryptocurrency trading.
The move signals another step toward integrating digital assets into Russia’s regulated financial markets. Besides expanding trading opportunities, the framework aims to strengthen market oversight and improve transaction transparency.
Bank of Russia Sets New Requirements for Exchanges
Under the directive, exchanges must register all cryptocurrency trading participants before launching operations. These include brokers, trustees, and central counterparties.
Additionally, trading platforms must maintain detailed records of orders and completed transactions. They must also monitor trading activities to support market supervision and accountability.
Consequently, exchanges will face clearer responsibilities when handling cryptocurrency transactions. These requirements could help regulators identify unusual trading patterns and improve investor protection.
Exchanges Must Report Trading Data
Moreover, the central bank requires exchanges to calculate four important price indicators. These include current prices, weighted average prices, market prices, and closing prices.
Exchanges must also submit trading progress reports and transaction results to the Bank of Russia. They will follow reporting procedures already established for other financial assets.
