Moscow Exchange will start Bitcoin, Ether, and USDT trading on December 1 using its stock-market infrastructure, allowing regulated crypto trading under new Russian laws. Non-qualified investors face purchase limits and testing, and the platform operates amid ongoing Western sanctions.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 3 sources have reported it between 3 Nov 2026 and 4 Nov 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You can now access a sanctioned Russian crypto trading platform with strict investor controls and limited size trades. If your business involves cross-border payments, this exchange creates a competitive bottleneck that may demand alternative routes.
