According to Russian media RBC, citing multiple sources in the brokerage industry, the Moscow Exchange is preparing to launch an independent digital asset custody platform (digital depository) for the custody and registration of crypto assets, expected to go live by the end of 2026 or early 2027. The report states that this platform will not be integrated into the Moscow Exchange's existing trading system or the National Settlement Depository (NSD) but will operate as independent infrastructure. Under Russia's newly passed 'Digital Currency and Digital Rights Law,' regulatory requirements for digital depositories will take effect starting September 1. The future of Russia's legal crypto market may see the formation of multiple liquidity centers, including the Moscow Exchange and Sberbank. https://www.(wublock123.com)/news/news-66029
