As per TechFlow, on December 25, 2025, Russia's largest stock exchanges, Moscow Exchange (MOEX) and St. Petersburg Exchange (SPB), announced their support for the Central Bank of Russia's crypto regulation plan. They confirmed readiness to begin crypto trading in 2026 once the relevant regulations take effect. Both exchanges stated they have the necessary technical infrastructure to start trading crypto assets immediately after the regulatory framework is established. Under the new regulatory concept proposed by the Central Bank, cryptocurrencies will be defined as 'monetary assets,' and trading will be conducted through Russia's existing financial infrastructure. Earlier reports indicated that Bloomberg had stated Russia plans to allow retail investors to participate in domestic crypto trading.
