Russia's Largest Exchange Sets Date for Crypto Trading Launch as BTC, ETH and USDT Move Into Regulated Market

The Moscow Exchange (MOEX), Russia's largest exchange, is set to launch cryptocurrency trading in December, marking a significant step towards integrating digital assets into the country's financial infrastructure. The exchange has begun testing operations with professional market participants and will allow retail investors to trade Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether, with a limit of 300,000 rubles ($3,582.28). This initiative follows the implementation of a new law on digital currencies in September, which provides a legal framework for cryptocurrency transactions.
