The Russian Finance Ministry is considering allowing foreign participants into the Russian crypto market, including overseas crypto exchanges.

Presence format: partnerships or own subsidiaries

Partnerships with local companies have been named as the preferred option. Another possible approach is for foreign crypto companies to establish their own subsidiaries in Russia.

Foreign interest in the market already exists

Foreign crypto companies, including international exchanges, have shown interest in the Russian digital asset market.

Finance Ministry requirement: equal conditions and domestic infrastructure

The ministry insists that Russian users remain within domestic infrastructure and that foreign companies operate under the same conditions as local participants.
