Sberbank Secures Russian Crypto Exchange Approval, Targets December Launch

Sberbank has received authorization to operate a cryptocurrency exchange in Russia, according to The Defiant. The bank is targeting a December launch.

The planned service would give users access to Bitcoin, Ether and USDT through the bank’s existing apps.

Russian rules require non-qualified investors to complete testing and place limits on their purchases. Those restrictions would apply to access under the planned offering.
