Russia<\/a>\u2019s Ministry of Finance together with the Bank of Russia are preparing to jointly inaugurate a cryptocurrency exchange<\/a> tailored specifically for ultra-qualified investors, as part of an extensive initiative to integrate crypto activities into an official regulatory framework, based on a RBC <\/em>report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIn collaboration with the Central Bank, we will initiate a crypto exchange for ultra-qualified investors. Crypto assets will be legalized, and crypto activities will be moved out of the shadows. Of course, not within our borders, but those activities that have been executed today under the experimental legal regime,\u201d declared Finance Minister Anton Siluanov at a recent ministry meeting, as cited by RBC<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This action is a response to a proposal from the Central Bank to establish an experimental legal regime (ELR) for a period of three years, permitting a select group of investors to trade cryptocurrencies legally. The concept is centered around a new category of investors\u2014ultra-qualified investors\u2014characterized by rigorous wealth and income criteria.<\/p>\n

Previously, the Central Bank proposed that this classification be given to individuals possessing no less than \u20bd100 million in securities or deposits, or an annual income surpassing \u20bd50 million. Nevertheless, the Finance Ministry has suggested that these stipulations are subject to change.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt may remain in this format or these criteria could be modified in one way or another \u2013 this is a possibility. I anticipate that there will be extensive discussions,\u201d expressed Osman Kabaloev, Deputy Director of the Ministry\u2019s Financial Policy Department.<\/p>\n

The initiative is already gathering momentum among financial institutions. In March, Vladimir Krekoten, Managing Director for Sales and Business Development at the Moscow Exchange, affirmed the readiness to commence derivatives trading associated with cryptocurrencies, stating that the platform is at its \u201cmaximum level of readiness\u201d and could launch operations in 2025.<\/p>\n

The Saint Petersburg Stock Exchange (SPB Exchange) has also shown comparable aspirations. \u201cSPB Exchange endorses initiatives aimed at broadening the investment options for investors and diversifying their strategies. We intend to begin trading products linked to the value of cryptocurrencies,\u201d a spokesperson conveyed to RBC Investments<\/em>.<\/p>\n

While some companies perceive this as a groundbreaking change, others remain doubtful. Igor Danilenko, head of asset management at Renaissance Capital, dismissed cryptocurrencies as a feasible asset class: \u201cThere are numerous methods to shield yourself from inflation without turning to tokens that lack real collateral, which rely on the influx of new purchasers and resemble a pyramid scheme at their core.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
