The new regulatory framework of the Central Bank of Russia has officially opened up cryptocurrency trading permissions for retail investors, marking an important turning point for the country's digital asset market.

According to this framework, the conditions for retail investors to participate are not complicated—they only need to pass a knowledge test. However, there is a prerequisite: they can only purchase through a single intermediary and can only trade the most liquid Crypto Assets, with an annual trading limit set at 300,000 rubles (approximately 3,800 dollars).

In contrast, the treatment of certified qualified investors is much more lenient. These investors, after completing the risk recognition test, have no restrictions on trading limits, providing them with much greater choice and freedom.

This layered design is actually quite interesting—on one hand, regulators have opened up a channel for ordinary investors to participate, while on the other hand, they control risk exposure through knowledge tests, trading limits, and intermediary restrictions. For the market, this means that retail demand may gradually be released, but the increase is relatively controllable.

Russia's recent move is really a bit stingy; a ceiling of 300,000 rubles is truly outrageous. Who can really make money from this...

This Russian framework is basically just a way to trap retail investors. What's with 300,000 rubles... Might as well go all-in.

Russia has really opened up, but the annual limit is 3800 yuan... this is just to let the suckers have a taste.

Russia's recent actions are truly like boiling a frog in warm water; they have opened the door for retail investors but are tightly choking them. A $3,800 annual limit? This is simply testing the waters, man.

This layered strategy from Russia is still quite extreme... retail investors are trapped under the $3800 ceiling. If you ask me, it’s better to first obtain accredited investors identification to enjoy it.

Russia's operation is quite cautious; the 300,000 ruble cap is essentially to prevent retail investors from getting burned.

Russia's approach is quite clever, first letting the suckers enter the market to warm it up, but then trapping you with a tight leash... 300,000 rubles annual limit, it's laughable, who can really invest like this?

It's the same old trick again, with a limit of $3800... just fooling retail investors here. --- Russia is also starting to play with layering, this tactic feels so familiar. --- 300,000 rubles? They're really treating small retail investors like children. --- Knowledge tests + quota restrictions, the regulators want it both ways. --- Accredited investors are having a blast, while retail investors are singled out for strict control, that's the reality. --- Opening the doors while tying up the ropes, a typical regulatory mindset. --- This single intermediary thing is absurd, what kind of freedom of space are they still hoping to play with... it's all locked down.
