🇷🇺 Russia Opens Crypto Trading to Everyday Investors
Historic move from the State Duma, a new bill will allow regular Russians to legally trade crypto for the first time.
Key Details: → Retail investors can buy up to 300,000 rubles (~$3,800) annually after passing a risk test → Professional investors face no limits → Moscow & St. Petersburg Exchanges ready to launch trading → Law expected to go live by July 1, 2026
The Catch: Crypto remains BANNED for domestic payments. You can invest, but you can't buy coffee with Bitcoin, the ruble stays as the only legal tender. Cross-border settlements will be allowed.
Why It Matters: Russia processed $376.3 billion in crypto transactions last year, Europe's largest market by volume. This brings millions of users from gray markets into regulated channels.
Western sanctions pushed Russia toward crypto adoption. What started as hostility has become strategic integration.
One of the biggest regulatory pivots from a major economy this year.
Senate Bill S2021 could make small $BTC transactions tax-free at state level.
Key Points: 🔹 Up to $5,000/month or $20,000/year exempt from state capital gains tax 🔹 Applies to individuals & businesses 🔹 Starts January 1, 2027 (1-year trial) 🔹 Self-certification - no individual transaction reporting needed
⚠️ Federal taxes still apply #Rhode Island joining the race to become crypto-friendly. Could set precedent for other US states.
ED Freezes ₹10.86 Cr ($1.27M) Including Crypto in Haryana Fraud Case
India's Enforcement Directorate has attached assets worth ₹10.86 Crore in a major fraud bust involving both real estate and cryptocurrency scams.
What Happened: A gang led by Sandeep Yadav allegedly cheated around 20 people of ₹26.54 Crore by selling fake land plots and promising high returns on crypto investments.
How They Operated: The accused lured victims with cheap plot deals and guaranteed crypto profits. Money was routed through third-party bank accounts and converted to cash to hide the trail. Proceeds were then parked in properties and crypto wallets.
Key Takeaway: This case shows how scammers are now mixing traditional fraud with crypto to launder money. Indian authorities are getting better at tracking and freezing digital assets.
Always verify investment opportunities. If someone promises guaranteed high returns in crypto or real estate, it's likely a scam. Stay informed. Stay safe.
