According to FinanceFeeds, Russia may begin restricting access to overseas crypto exchange websites as early as the summer of 2026, which is related to the government's plan to promote digital asset regulatory legislation this spring and establish a compliant trading mechanism within the local financial system. Official estimates are that the average daily "turnover" of crypto transactions by Russian participants is about 50 billion rubles, and a large amount of it occurs outside regulated infrastructure. Sergey Shvetsov, chairman of the supervisory board of the Moscow Exchange, said that Russian traders pay about $15 billion in fees to global crypto exchanges every year, and domestic platforms want to compete for this income and reduce capital outflows once the rules are implemented.
