Two Russian Exchanges Prepare for Regulated Crypto Trading in 2026
St. Petersburg Exchange and Moscow Exchange have confirmed their readiness to launch regulated cryptocurrency trading once Russia's legal framework takes effect in 2026. The move signals growing institutional acceptance of digital assets in traditionally cautious markets.
While the announcement didn't specify which cryptocurrencies will be supported, the participation of major financial institutions suggests potential listings of high-market-cap assets like BTC and ETH. This development could create new liquidity channels for the crypto market's blue chips.
