Russia is moving to criminalise cryptocurrency trading conducted outside its regulatory framework. A draft approved by the Moscow city government would introduce penalties for organising digital asset distribution without registration or a licence from the central bank.

Broader crypto rules are expected from 2026, with criminal provisions from 2027.
