The Bank of Russia has issued a new draft regulation ruling on the requirements that professional market participants must follow when including cryptocurrency holdings in their balance sheets.
According to the new ordinance, professional market participants such as brokers, trustees, forex dealers, and cryptocurrency exchanges will have to include cryptocurrency holdings when calculating their equity holdings. These crypto assets, which can be included in these balances if they have been admitted to trading on exchanges, can reach a prudential limit of 25% of the total equity value declared.
Also, to be included in these calculations, cryptocurrency holdings must be registered with crypto depositories, allowing the state to verify their existence.
As for this ruleset’s purpose, the bank explained that this ratio will be observed to assess credit and market risks and will ensure these companies can cover potential losses.
“Owing to the new approach, the ratios will factor in cryptocurrency-related risks and help ensure intermediaries’ financial resilience in cryptocurrency transactions,” the bank concluded.
