Russia’s Central Bank Clears Exchange to Open Bitcoin and Crypto Trading on Nov. 22

The Bank of Russia said Wednesday that exchanges may start organized trading in cryptocurrencies on Nov. 22, once the central bank has approved their trading rules, a step that lands just ahead of Moscow Exchange’s planned Dec. 1 bitcoin launch.

The ordinance, which amends the Bank of Russia’s rules for organized trading, was registered by the Justice Ministry on Nov. 3 and published Wednesday on the regulator’s site. It takes effect 10 days after publication, on Nov. 22.

Exchanges will have to register the brokers, trust managers and central counterparties that take part in crypto trades, keep registers of orders and deals, and monitor the activity. They must also calculate a current price, a weighted-average price, a market price and a closing price, and report trading activity to the central bank in the same way they already do for other assets.

The regulator was clear about the order of operations. Exchanges may open crypto markets from Nov. 22, it said, “but first they must agree with the regulator on the rules for conducting such trading.” It did not say whether any venue has already cleared that review.

A separate ordinance, published Nov. 6 and due to take effect Nov. 17, sets the menu for ordinary buyers. The Bank of Russia approved bitcoin, ether and Tether’s USDT for purchase by non-qualified investors, and said exchanges may admit those assets to public trading from that date.
