Russia’s central bank is backing a proposal that would limit retail investors to trading only Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT through regulated platforms. The measure forms part of the country’s upcoming digital asset framework, which is expected to take effect by July 2026.
Under the proposal, cryptocurrencies such as Solana, XRP, and Cardano may not be available to non-qualified investors. Regulators argue that restricting access to larger and more established assets will help protect retail participants from excessive volatility and speculative risks.
Officials say Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT meet key requirements including liquidity, market size, and operational history. The move reflects Russia’s broader effort to develop a regulated crypto market while maintaining tighter oversight of investor activity and digital asset adoption.
