Summarize this article with:

The Bank of Russia wants to limit the role of crypto in market professionals’ accounts. Its new draft regulation sets a 25% threshold for digital assets considered in the calculation of their equity. Brokers, managers, forex dealers, and crypto exchange platforms are concerned. Moscow thus allows crypto more, without giving it too much space in intermediaries’ balance sheets.

In Brief

  • Cryptos will not be able to represent more than 25% of the assets considered in the equity calculation.
  • The rule especially concerns brokers, managers and crypto platforms.
  • Assets must also be registered with a Russian crypto custodian.

Crypto Enters Brokers’ Accounts

The Bank of Russia published its draft on August 14. It comes a few days after the opening of the Russian market to bitcoin, ether, and USDT. This time, the text targets professionals directly. Brokers will be able to include certain cryptocurrencies in the calculation of their equity. The same applies to securities managers, forex dealers, and companies trading digital assets.

Not just any crypto, however. Assets must have been admitted for trading on a Russian organized market. They must also appear in the accounts of a recognized crypto custodian.
