TechFlow news, July 17 — According to Reuters, Russian bank Sberbank plans to offer custody services for Russian cryptocurrency assets, as the state-owned bank aims to play a leading role in Russia's digital asset development.
Anatoly Pronin, executive director of Sberbank's alternative payment solutions division, said the bank has submitted proposals to the Central Bank of Russia regarding domestic crypto asset regulation, driven by the growing global trend of banks offering custody services. Pronin noted that Sberbank's proposal would regulate crypto assets similarly to assets in bank accounts, with the bank ensuring token security.
