😱🚨Shocking Decision from #Putin ! Crypto Not Banned — Banks Will Now Sell It🚀🚀
The proliferation of cryptocurrencies in Russia is now officially recognized. The country's central bank is preparing to allow banks to facilitate crypto transactions under strict oversight.
Rather than ban cryptocurrencies entirely, Russia is taking a new step toward integrating financial systems. According to the state news agency TASS, Deputy Finance Minister Ivan Chebeskov stated that approximately 20 million Russian citizens use cryptocurrencies.
Chebeskov, while emphasizing that crypto is "a reality that can no longer be observed," emphasized the need to develop local infrastructure to protect its owners and secure the country's economic and technological interests.
According to TASS, the total holdings of Russian owners on crypto exchanges reached 827 billion rubles (approximately $10.15 billion) as of March 2025. This figure represents a 27% increase compared to the previous benchmark. In the most popular terms, Bitcoin (BTC) has a 62.1% payout, Ethereum (ETH) a 22% payout, and stablecoins USDT and USDC a 15.9% payout.
Banks Could Also Be Included in the Crypto Ecosystem
According to TASS, the Central Bank of Russia will launch a comprehensive survey of crypto investments and borrowing transactions in early 2026. The bank also plans to allow brokerage of emerging digital asset transactions. This move marks a clear shift toward regulation in Russia's long-standing debate about whether to ban or regulate crypto.
According to experts, this development could be part of Russia's strategy to use crypto as an alternative financial channel to counter international sanctions.
