Edited by Steinar Vigdel Kolnes, Editor, Oslo
Russia plans to prohibit direct peer-to-peer crypto trades from July 1, 2027, alongside existing restrictions on transfers to self-custody wallets.
Russia intends to outlaw direct peer-to-peer cryptocurrency trading beginning July 1, 2027, according to Cointelegraph.
The planned restriction targets crypto trades conducted directly between participants. The report gives a start date but does not detail enforcement arrangements or possible exceptions.
Separate rules already bar transfers from digital accounts into self-custody wallets. That restriction is distinct from the planned ban on direct P2P trading.
