New central bank crypto rules ‘will ban USDT trading in Russia’

The new regulations from Russia’s Central Bank may prohibit USDT trading starting May 26, 2025, although it won’t block its use in international business transactions. Experts express concerns that popular USD-pegged stablecoins might not meet the new criteria.

The Central Bank’s rules specify that traded coins must not be linked to securities tied to hostile countries. Moreover, only cryptocurrencies originating from ‘friendly countries’ will be eligible for trading under the new regulations.
