According to Wu Blockchain citing TASS, the Bank of Russia announced that Russian exchanges will be permitted to conduct cryptocurrency trading starting November 22, 2026, provided that trading rules are coordinated with the regulator in advance. The relevant directive has been registered with the Ministry of Justice. The report also outlines requirements such as registering trading participants, retaining order and trade records, monitoring transactions, and reporting data to the central bank. This does not imply that all exchanges have completed approval or will necessarily launch trading by that time.
