Russia’s Top Stock Exchanges Prepare for Crypto Trading Under New Regulatory Framework
Russia's leading stock exchanges, the Moscow Exchange (MOEX) and SPB Exchange, have endorsed the Central Bank of Russia's proposed regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies. Both platforms confirmed readiness to launch digital asset trading services once the rules are enacted.
The Moscow Exchange emphasized its existing infrastructure—developed for traditional financial markets—can be adapted for crypto trading. "Our solutions in trading, clearing, and settlement are uniquely positioned to support this new asset class," the exchange stated. The move signals growing institutional acceptance of cryptocurrencies in Russia's financial ecosystem.
