Moscow Exchange will launch pilot trading of Bitcoin, Ether, and USDT on December 1 under Russia's new digital-currency law, using existing stock market infrastructure with limits on non-qualified investors. The market will expand gradually with same-day settlement options but faces challenges from sanctions and potential high spreads for retail investors.
