Russia's State Duma will hold final readings of a cryptocurrency regulation bill on July 21, establishing a legal framework for crypto operations with purchase caps (300,000 rubles annually for retail investors, 3,000,000 for qualified) and overseas transfer limits. Core provisions are expected to take effect September 1 if passed.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're building crypto infrastructure for Russian users or cross-border payments, this bill legalizes your market but caps your TAM hard: retail investors can spend only $3,800 a year per platform, qualified investors 10x that. Your go-to-market needs to chase qualified investors or international trade use cases, not retail volume.
