What it means
People who use crypto in Russia, and the exchanges that have been licensed, are the most directly affected today. The central bank’s statement places peer-to-peer transfers and transfers to non-custodial wallets outside the permitted framework, while more than 10 organizations, including Sberbank, have been authorized to operate as exchanges.
In practice, direct peer-to-peer crypto trades are described as moving toward a ban from July 2027, while licensed exchange activity remains in place. What changes is the route available for transfers and trades; what stays in place is that exchange operations continue under licenses.
