Russia’s finance ministry and central bank are set to unveil a crypto exchange for “highly-qualified” investors, news agency Interfax reported on Wednesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The exchange will “legalize crypto assets and bring crypto operations out of the shadows,” Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said during a ministry board meeting, according to the report. <\/p>\n

“Naturally, this will not happen domestically, but as part of the operations permitted under the experimental legal regime,” Siluanov said.<\/p>\n

The Central Bank of Russia proposed allow crypto trading within a pilot known as the experimental legal regime<\/a> (ELR) in March. <\/p>\n

This would apply to highly qualified investors, a new investor category for individuals whose investments exceed 100 million rubles ($1.2 million) or an annual income exceeding 50 million rubles ($600,000).<\/p>\n

The absence of a centralized domestic crypto exchange in Russia means Russians rely on overseas trading platforms to buy and sell cryptocurrency, which the Finance Ministry and Central Bank may be seeking to counteract. <\/p>\n

The Central Bank has also proposed allowing highly-qualified investors to access derivatives and securities linked to digital assets, that do not involve the delivery of crypto to the investor but derive returns based on its value. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
