Russia Prepares Official Rules for Crypto Exchanges

The Bank of Russia has released a detailed set of draft rules covering how crypto exchanges and digital asset depositories will operate. These regulations act as the foundation for the upcoming launch of a formal crypto market in the country. The government plans to have this new system fully active by September.

The proposal outlines strict requirements for market registration and the general framework for how these digital firms will handle business. By establishing these standards now, officials aim to provide clear oversight for the industry before the official start date.

Investors and businesses should watch for final adjustments to these rules as the September deadline approaches. This shift marks a major change in how Russia handles digital assets, moving away from a lack of oversight toward a structured regulatory environment.
