The Russian government, through its Ministry of Finance and Central Bank, is taking a bold step by planning the creation of a cryptocurrency exchange specifically tailored for high net worth investors. This initiative marks part of a trial legal regime designed to achieve compliance with regulations. Participants will be required to have assets exceeding 120 million rubles or annual income above 50 million rubles. This move aims to legitimize crypto trading while promoting transparency within the market, though it will only be focused on foreign trade settlements and not applicable for domestic transactions. The pilot phase of these transactions is slated to begin in six months.
