๐ Early 2025 Weakness, But Bitcoin Bounced Back
BTC was down 18.6% in early 2025.
However, in April 2025, Bitcoin rebounded with an 11.2% monthly gain, outperforming all other assets.
โ ๏ธ Russia Still Hesitant on Crypto Legalization
Despite these returns, the Bank of Russia remains cautious:
Proposes an "experimental legal regime" for crypto use in cross-border deals.
Only wealthy investors (100M rubles in assets, 50M rubles income) may qualify to invest in crypto.
Yet, crypto adoption is growing:
Russian crypto investments have tripled in 3 years.
Investments in gold and silver also rose 6x.
