TechFlow, Dec 25 — According to Cryptopolitan, Russia's two largest stock exchanges—Moscow Exchange (MOEX) and St. Petersburg Exchange (SPB)—have expressed support for the central bank's cryptocurrency regulation plan and are preparing to launch cryptocurrency trading once relevant regulations take effect in 2026.
The two exchanges confirmed they already have the appropriate technical infrastructure in place to immediately launch crypto asset trading once the regulatory framework is established. Under the new regulatory concept proposed by the Russian central bank, cryptocurrencies will be defined as "monetary assets," and trading will be conducted through Russia's existing financial infrastructure.
Earlier, Bloomberg reported that Russia plans to allow retail investors to participate in domestic cryptocurrency trading.
