The Russian Central Bank said on Wednesday it had officially authorized regulated trading in cryptocurrencies on Russian trading platforms, paving the way for the launch of a legal digital-asset market under a new legislative framework.

In a statement, the central bank said investors would be able to buy and sell cryptocurrencies through licensed brokers and regulated trading platforms. Their use for domestic payments in Russia remains prohibited, while their use for foreign trade settlements is permitted under specific rules.
