Russia's new law establishes regulated crypto trading with retail caps and mandatory investor tests, requires exchanges to meet capital and membership standards, bans domestic crypto payments, but allows crypto use in foreign trade settlements.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 9 sources have reported it between 20 Jul 2026 and 6 Aug 2026.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You need to prepare for regulated crypto trading in Russia starting September, with strict retail limits and licensing rules shaping market access and compliance. Exchanges and intermediaries must meet capital and oversight requirements, opening new chances for firms that align with these regulations.
