Covered by 5 sources · 5 articles
Russia's largest bank, Sberbank, projects that regulated cryptocurrency trading could reach between 3.5 trillion and 4 trillion rubles in the first year after the country's new digital-asset framework launches on September 1, 2026. This translates to roughly $40.6 billion to $46.4 billion in trading volume. The forecast reflects expectations that Russia's crypto market will gradually migrate toward licensed exchanges following the implementation of the regulatory framework, which will establish licensing requirements and retail investment limits for participants.
The projection underscores institutional confidence in demand for legitimate crypto trading channels once regulatory guardrails are in place. Sberbank's analysis extends beyond the initial year, suggesting the market could expand significantly as frameworks mature.
- Sberbank forecasts $40.6-$46.4 billion in first-year trading volume on regulated Russian exchanges after September 2026 rules take effect.
- The outlook assumes gradual migration of trading activity to licensed platforms under the new regulatory structure.
- Projections indicate potential for substantially larger trading volumes in subsequent years as the market develops.
