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.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Crypto & Web3. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

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.
