Russia's Sberbank expects crypto trading volume to reach $46.4 billion in the first year and $87 billion by 2029 amid new crypto regulation and plans to accept cryptocurrencies as loan collateral. Russia is implementing a tightly controlled crypto regulatory framework that restricts crypto payments but allows registered entities to operate exchange services.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must adapt to Russia's evolving crypto rules where registered exchanges gain legitimacy but crypto payments stay banned. Think now about compliance and partnership paths in Russian fintech or risk being locked out.
