[Moscow Exchange and St. Petersburg Exchange Prepare to Launch Crypto Trading Business] Odaily Planet Daily News: Two Russian securities exchanges, Moscow Exchange (MOEX) and St. Petersburg Exchange (SPB), have expressed support for the Russian Central Bank's cryptocurrency regulatory plan and are preparing to begin cryptocurrency trading after the relevant regulations take effect in 2026. It is reported that qualified investors will be able to purchase any cryptocurrency, except privacy coins, without limits, while ordinary investors will have an annual purchase cap of 300,000 rubles (approximately $4,000). Both exchanges have confirmed that they already possess the necessary technical infrastructure to immediately launch crypto asset trading once the regulatory framework is established. According to the new regulatory concept proposed by the Russian Central Bank, cryptocurrencies will be defined as "monetary assets," and trading will be conducted through Russia's existing financial infrastructure.
