Russian Central Bank Proposes Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT for Regulated Trading

Bank of Russia drafts list including BTC, ETH, and USDT for public trading on regulated platforms, citing market cap, volume, and 5-year price history criteria under new presidential decree.

Woofun AI reports that the Russian Central Bank has drafted a list of crypto assets to be traded publicly on regulated platforms under new regulations approved last week. The central bank stated on Tuesday that the list includes Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT, noting these assets meet criteria such as market capitalization, average daily trading volume, and a minimum five-year price history in overseas markets. This proposal follows a new law signed by Russian President Putin on August 4, which grants the central bank authority to determine which digital currencies can enter organized trading markets and to establish corresponding trading rules.
