The Bank of Russia is ready to reconsider strict rules for cryptocurrency trading.
The regulator intends to expand access to trading in digital assets, considering alternative regulatory mechanisms beyond the previously proposed "super-qualification" category, Kommersant reports. It is assumed that such a decision will ease transactions for a wide range of investors and increase the transparency of the digital assets market.
The proposal first appeared in March 2025, when the Bank of Russia proposed creating an experimental legal regime for three years that would allow the purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies exclusively by specially accredited investors called "superquals." These investors would have assets worth at least 100 million rubles or an annual income above 50 million rubles.
However, the current sanctions environment led to a revision of the original plan. Vladimir Chistyukhin explained that the Western sanctions imposed limit the use of traditional currencies for international settlements, which creates additional obstacles for Russians and Russian companies. Therefore, the authorities are seeking to adapt to the new conditions by allowing a broader range of investors to take advantage of the cryptocurrency market.
The idea of introducing a simplified regime was welcomed by representatives of the financial sector, who believe that the current restrictions are excessively strict and hinder the development of this innovative segment of the economy. Ministry of Finance representative Ivan Chebeskov clarified that the ministry supports the new approach and is ready to cooperate with the Bank of Russia to develop a joint strategy for regulating crypto trading.
Consideration of the matter is planned to be completed by the end of the current year. Regulators hope to strike a balance between protecting the interests of small investors and stimulating competition in the digital market, ensuring the security of transactions and compliance with laws on countering money laundering and the financing of terrorism.
