Russia has taken new steps in cryptocurrency regulation. Finance Minister Anton Siluanov recently publicly stated support for the central bank’s plan to encourage retail investors to participate in crypto trading. However, there is a prerequisite—the investment limit must be strictly controlled.
According to the central bank’s proposed framework, retail investors need to pass a specialized exam to trade highly liquid crypto assets. More importantly, a hard cap has been set on the annual investment amount for individual intermediaries: 300,000 rubles.
This combination of measures may seem lenient, but in reality, it is a gradual opening of the market within a safety framework. Russia is clearly balancing innovation and risk. For investors, compliant channels are gradually being established, but thresholds and limits are still in place. This policy adjustment, to some extent, reflects a shift in attitude among major global economies toward crypto assets—moving away from outright bans to orderly guidance.

300,000 rubles? This limit is way too low. How are retail investors supposed to play?

300,000 rubles? That's less than 30,000 RMB. This threshold is really disappointing haha

300,000 rubles? That's laughable. This limit is just a drop in the bucket for big players.

300,000 rubles? That's a bit tight on the limit, but it's still better than being disabled.

300,000 rubles? How conservative do you have to be, and still need an exam... Russia is playing "boiling a frog in warm water."
