Briefings
A Russian stock exchange plans to list Bitcoin and Tether's USDT in December, targeting Russian traders who previously traded crypto outside the country. This move follows a policy shift where the exchange previously refused to list these assets due to U.S. sanctions, now reversing its stance to attract foreign capital.
Key points
- The Moscow Exchange intends to list Bitcoin and Tether's USDT in December 2026.
- The exchange previously refused to list these assets because they were issued by a company that freezes wallets on the U.S. sanctions list.
Context
Russia's main bourse wants back the crypto trading Russians do abroad, and one of the coins it's listing is issued by a company that freezes wallets on the U.S. sanctions list.
Limitations
Evidence is limited to a single sentence stating the exchange's intent and the reason for the policy shift. No specific dates beyond December 2026, no named company details, and no information on transaction volumes or regulatory approvals.
