The Central Bank of Russia has added BTC, ETH, and USDT to its list of tradable cryptocurrencies, with an annual purchase limit of 300,000 rubles for retail investors.

PANews, August 13 – According to bits.media, the Central Bank of Russia has included Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT in the list of crypto assets permitted for trading in the Russian market. This list is contained in a draft guidance document released by the central bank for public consultation. The central bank attributed the brevity of the list to criteria stipulated in new Russian legislation: high market capitalization, high average daily trading volume, and a pricing history of at least five years on overseas platforms. Non-professional investors are restricted to purchasing only these three cryptocurrencies. The guidance also sets an annual purchase limit for non-professional investors: a maximum investment of 300,000 rubles per year through a single intermediary.
