[Russia Plans to Establish Crypto Investor Testing Standards, Brokers to Implement First] According to a report by Golden Finance on October 29th, RBC reported that Russia plans to establish cryptocurrency purchase testing standards, with brokers initially granted the authority to test clients. Ekaterina Andreeva, First Vice President of the National Financial Association, stated at Crypto Summit 2026 that a draft standard has been submitted to the Basic Standards Committee of the Central Bank of Russia. Test results will be applicable to all regulated platforms, not just those that pass the test. For non-qualified investors, a whitelist principle will be adopted, allowing them to purchase only a limited number of highly liquid cryptocurrencies; qualified investors will have access to a wider range of assets, and the testing will be more challenging.
