The Central Bank of Russia has proposed allowing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT to be traded on regulated exchanges

August 11th, the Russian Central Bank has drawn up a list of crypto assets, planning to allow these assets to be publicly traded on exchanges under new rules approved last week.

The Russian Central Bank stated on Tuesday that the list includes Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT. The Russian Central Bank indicated that these assets meet relevant admission criteria, including market capitalization, daily trading volume, and at least 5 years of price history in overseas markets.

This proposal stems from a new law signed by Russian President Putin on August 4th. This law grants the Russian Central Bank the authority to decide which digital currencies can enter organized trading markets and to establish relevant trading rules.
