In accordance with HashNews, Russia's second-largest bank, VTB, plans to launch cryptocurrency trading services via brokerage accounts in 2026. The announcement was made this week at an international investment conference in Moscow by the head of the bank's brokerage services. Currently, VTB offers clients the opportunity to invest in crypto derivatives and plans to provide direct investment channels for digital assets next year. The bank intends to roll out the service as soon as regulatory approval is obtained. Russia's financial regulators have indicated that the move is likely to be implemented within the next few months. At that time, VTB's clients will be able to directly buy, hold, and sell cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin through individual investment accounts or standard brokerage accounts.
