Russian Central Bank: Non-Qualified Investors May Be Limited to Trading BTC, ETH and USDT
Russian Central Bank First Deputy Governor Vladimir Chistyukhin said the central bank plans to limit crypto assets available to non-professional and non-qualified investors to BTC, ETH and USDT, with no plans to expand the list for now. He said cryptocurrencies are high‑risk and highly volatile instruments, while USDT wallets also carry the risk of being frozen by the issuer. Russia also plans to set an annual limit of about $4,100 for ordinary investors buying crypto assets through a single broker or exchange provider.
