Russia has actually been ahead of the west in the push towards a digital Panopticon, so this gives away the plan, no self-custody, no payments, no P2P exchanging, and only custodial accounts. All those restrictions pretty much remove all the reasons to have cryptocurrency. There is still one advantage, as Bitcoin should outpace fiat currencies being devalued with money printing and the inflation that creates. Of course, you might have to hold it secretly and plan an exit from Russia. Consequently, many laws in Russia are so oppressive, you’d should already be working on an exit if not already established. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia plans to ban direct P2P crypto trades from July 1, 2027, while separate rules already prohibit transfers from digital accounts to self-custody wallets.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Russia will ban direct peer-to-peer (P2P) cryptocurrency transactions between individuals starting next year, requiring individuals to use authorized intermediaries for such trades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The restriction will end individuals\u2019 ability to exchange crypto assets directly without intermediaries, the Bank of Russia, the country\u2019s central bank, explained<\/a> in guidance updated Monday. The regulator confirmed that such transactions will remain permitted only until July 1, 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The regulator also clarified that individuals are not allowed to transfer crypto assets from their digital accounts to their own non-custodial, or self-custodial, wallets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move comes as Russia expands its regulated crypto market. On Monday, the Bank of Russia authorized Sberbank<\/a>, the country\u2019s largest bank, to offer crypto exchange services after earlier approving it as a digital asset custodian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The approval follows Russia\u2019s new crypto rules,<\/a> which came into force on Sept. 1 and brought exchange operators and custodians under central bank oversight. The country also continues to prohibit cryptocurrency payments for goods and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Industry executives have previously told Cointelegraph that restrictions on P2P crypto trading and noncustodial wallets may be difficult to enforce. Jan3 CEO Samson Mow said P2P trading is more resilient<\/a> to regulatory crackdowns than centralized platforms, while SatoshiLabs executive Stepan Uherik said wallet app bans would leave hardware and desktop wallets unaffected<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
