Investors Will Be Able to Buy Cryptocurrency on the Moscow Exchange Starting December 1

Investors will be able to buy cryptocurrency on the Moscow Exchange starting December 1. The platform is preparing to launch trading in digital currencies and is testing the technological scheme with professional market participants. Boris Blokhin, Senior Managing Director for Sales and Business Development, reported that the testing of operations began a week ago. A partner settlement digital depository will be used for settlements, where market participants will open their own accounts. The exchange will not need separate permits or licenses to launch trading. At the "Sberinvestments" forum, Sber demonstrated cryptocurrency operations in "Sberbank Online," planning to open the functionality for all clients starting December 1. The service is operating in test mode with BTC, ETH, and USDT, and the final list of coins will depend on the regulations of the Bank of Russia. VTB tested settlements through the depository and conducted the first transaction with stablecoins for corporate clients on October 6. On the same day, the Bank of Russia included VTB, Sber, and three other companies in the register of digital depositories. The Moscow Exchange is also testing the MCP protocol, which will allow AI assistants to receive exchange data.
