Russia will reportedly move to open up crypto to retail investors, with a new bill set to soon be introduced to the country’s legislature.
Anatoly Aksakov, chair of the State Duma’s Financial Market Committee, said legislation is ready to be introduced that would remove cryptocurrencies from special financial regulation and place them under a general legal framework, with the aim of normalizing their use, the state-owned news agency TASS reported on Tuesday.
"A lot of attention will be paid to the development of digital financial assets, and we will devote a lot of time to cryptocurrencies in the upcoming spring session,” Aksakov said.
“A bill has already been prepared that removes cryptocurrencies from special financial regulation, that is, they will be a common occurrence in our lives," he added.
The bill would follow the Bank of Russia’s policy proposal put forward in December to allow non-qualified investors to buy certain cryptocurrencies — a reversal from an earlier position where it considered a full crypto ban.
Bill allows non-qualified investors limited access
Aksakov said the legislation would give so-called unqualified investors, such as retail traders, limited access to crypto, capped at 300,000 rubles ($3,800).
He added that “professional participants” who can pass income and knowledge or education criteria would be able to trade in crypto “without restrictions.”

“Cryptocurrencies can be actively used for international payments, including in order to further place them on the financial markets of other countries when issuing them here,”  Aksakov added.
Crypto is currently recognized as property in Russia, and using it for payments is banned, but many Russians and companies turn to crypto to send money internationally, which has increased since 2022 amid sanctions on the country over its invasion of Ukraine.
Crypto exchanges could also see regulations
Crypto exchanges in Russia could also be set for a regulatory overhaul, with local news agency Interfax reporting on Wednesday that Anton Gorelkin, the State Duma’s Technologies Committee chair, is pushing for new rules.
Gorelkin said on a Telegram channel that scammers are using exchanges based in neighboring Belarus when targeting Russians, making it hard for authorities to track them.

"This in particular is why it is necessary to bring order to crypto exchanges, to create conditions for their legal activity on Russian territory," Gorelkin said.
Exchanges are unregulated in Russia and many platforms left the country due to sanctions, pushing locals toward informal peer-to-peer services or exchanges outside the country.
The Bank of Russia relaxed crypto transaction rules for businesses in late 2024 and its proposal, shared in December, pitched rules for how exchanges, brokers and trusts could manage crypto.

“We have never seen financial conflicts or corruption of this magnitude,” Senator Elizabeth Warren says of US President Donald Trump’s links to World Liberty Financial.

US Senator Elizabeth Warren is pressuring the country’s banking regulator to hold off on considering World Liberty Financial’s bid for a bank charter until US President Donald Trump divests his interest in the crypto platform. 
In a letter on Tuesday, Warren asked Comptroller of the Currency, Jonathan Gould, to delay reviewing World Liberty’s application for a national trust bank until Trump “eliminates all financial conflicts of interest involving himself or his family and the company.”
“We have never seen financial conflicts or corruption of this magnitude,” Warren said. “The United States Congress failed to address them when it passed the GENIUS Act into law — so it is incumbent for the Senate to address these real and serious conflicts of interest as it considers crypto market structure legislation.”
A World Liberty subsidiary, WLTC Holdings, filed with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency earlier this month for a bank charter allowing it to issue, custody and convert its stablecoin, USD1.

President Trump and his sons Barron, Eric and Donald Trump Jr. are listed as World Liberty’s co-founders, and the platform has generated billions of dollars in paper wealth for the family.
Warren has “no confidence” in OCC’s Gould
The stablecoin-regulating GENIUS Act, which Trump signed into law last year, set up the OCC as the main regulator for stablecoin issuers, and the bureau is responsible for approving applications and supervising such companies.
Warren told Gould she had “no confidence that you will fairly assess the application pursuant to the legal standard for approval” due to his past dismissal of questions asking how he would ensure Trump would not influence the OCC.
She added that Gould would be in charge of rules that influence the profits of World Liberty and would be responsible for enforcing laws against it and the company’s competitors.
“You would be in charge of these functions while serving at the pleasure of the President,” Warren said. “In effect, for the first time in history, the President of the United States would be in charge of overseeing his own financial company.”

Warren is the most senior Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, which is set to debate a crypto market structure bill on Thursday. 
The Senate Agriculture Committee was originally set to debate the bill at the same time, but the committee’s Republicans on Monday delayed that until later this month to garner more bipartisan support, as some lawmakers had pushed for the bill to include conflict-of-interest guardrails.
A Banking Committee draft of the bill released on Monday showed there was no inclusion of ethics provisions as requested by Democrats, but further negotiations and amendments are expected before it advances
