Russia’s Crypto Pivot: Retail Trading Limits, Exchange Launch Plans, and Bitcoin Mining’s Ruble Link

Russia’s Crypto Pivot: Retail Trading Limits, Exchange Launch Plans, and Bitcoin Mining’s Ruble Link

Moscow — December 25, 2025. Russia is moving toward the most formal, retail-facing crypto regime it has ever proposed — but with guardrails designed to keep the market tightly supervised, limit household exposure, and preserve the ruble’s monopoly on domestic payments. At the center of the shift is a new concept paper from the Bank of Russia that would allow both retail (“non‑qualified”) and professional (“qualified”) investors to buy crypto through licensed intermediaries, under mandatory testing and strict limits for most citizens. Central Bank of Russia Today’s follow-up reporting (December 25) adds a key operational angle: Russia’s biggest exchanges say

Crypto Christmas Gifts 2025: Gen Z Wants Bitcoin in Stockings as Visa Survey Signals a Holiday Spending Shift

Christmas Day 2025 is delivering a modern twist on an old tradition: while Bitcoin prices are stuck in a stubborn holiday range, interest in gifting crypto is climbing—especially among younger Americans.

Bitcoin is ending Christmas Eve in a familiar place: stuck in a tight range, with traders watching ETF flows and derivatives positioning for the next catalyst.
