Demand for hardware crypto wallets in Russia more than doubled in the first half of 2026, according to data from major retailers. Retailer M.Video reported a 107% increase in unit sales in Q2 compared to Q1, while Wildberries saw an 84% rise in H1 unit sales year-over-year. This surge comes as Russia prepares to introduce new crypto regulations, with a broader framework set to take effect on September 1.
