BlockBeats News, December 25th, two major Russian stock exchanges — Moscow Exchange (MOEX) and St. Petersburg Exchange (SPB) — announced that they are ready to launch cryptocurrency trading post-regulation and support the new regulatory framework promoted by the Bank of Russia to legalize crypto business. The exchanges stated that they have mature clearing, settlement, and trading infrastructure and will go live with crypto trading as soon as the regulations take effect in 2026. The new framework plans to allow both retail and qualified investors to participate, with retail investors having an annual cryptocurrency investment limit of 300,000 rubles and qualified investors having no limit (except for privacy coins).
