Structured Bonds Provide Dual Market Exposure
Sberbank has introduced a structured bond tied to Bitcoin and the USD/RUB exchange rate. According to the announcement, “the bonds let holders earn based on two variables: the future performance of BTC in U.S. dollars and any strengthening of the dollar relative to the ruble.”
The product is available over the counter to a limited pool of qualified investors and is settled in rubles. It eliminates the need for crypto wallets or foreign exchanges, offering a simplified and regulated path to digital asset exposure. The bond tracks both Bitcoin’s price—quoted at $106,024.16—and fluctuations in the currency exchange rate.
Fully Compliant with Russian Financial Infrastructure
Sberbank confirmed that all transactions will take place within the country’s legal and financial systems. As stated in the release, “investors can access these instruments without opening a crypto wallet or using foreign crypto exchanges, with all transactions being processed in rubles within Russia’s legal and infrastructure systems.”
This structure ensures local compliance and lowers technical entry barriers, making it accessible for institutions operating under domestic rules. Sberbank also revealed future plans to list similar structured instruments on the Moscow Exchange, extending the scope of cryptocurrency exposure through conventional financial channels.
The integration of crypto-related returns within ruble-based products signals a shift in how digital assets are being absorbed into Russia’s investment landscape. Qualified investors can now explore crypto market movements without leaving the country’s financial ecosystem.
Bitcoin Futures Debut on SberInvestments Platform
Alongside the structured bond product, Sberbank announced the launch of a Bitcoin futures offering via its SberInvestments platform. The official announcement noted that the product went live on June 4 and is listed on the Moscow Exchange.
This rollout is consistent with the latest guidance from the Bank of Russia that stated “financial institutions can launch instruments related to cryptocurrency for qualified investors in the country. This regulatory change has enabled licensed entities to introduce digital asset-based instruments in a controlled environment.
Through the combined launch of Bitcoin-linked structured bonds and futures, Sberbank is expanding regulated access to crypto exposure in the Russian market.
