Russia drafts bill to make cryptocurrency part of everyday life, lawmaker says
A bill facilitating the everyday use of cryptocurrency in the Russian Federation has been drafted already, revealed a high-ranking member of the parliament in Moscow.
According to the official, a key figure in efforts to regulate decentralized digital assets in Russia, the legislation is expected to boost the country’s crypto sector.
Crypto to become part of Russian life, lawmaker vows
A draft law designed to liberalize and simplify crypto operations has already been prepared, according to Anatoly Aksakov, chairman of the important Committee on Financial Markets at the State Duma, the lower house of Russia’s bicameral legislature.
The document will help make the use of the digital currency commonplace in the lives of Russian citizens, emphasized the lawmaker, who is overseeing efforts to legalize transactions with digital assets.
The main goal of the legislative initiative is to turn cryptocurrency into an accessible tool for most Russians while simultaneously integrating it into the nation’s economy, Aksakov clarified.
Quoted by the official TASS news agency and leading daily newspapers such as Rossiyskaya Gazeta and Vedomosti, he further unveiled:
“A bill has already been drafted that would exempt cryptocurrencies from special financial regulation, meaning they will become commonplace in our lives,” Aksakov said in comments for the Rossiya-24 TV channel.
He added that the reforms advancing in his chamber will provide what he described as a powerful impetus for the development of Russia’s crypto industry under domestic regulations.
Professional participants in the financial market will be able to work with cryptocurrencies without restrictions, while non-qualified investors will have access, too, albeit restricted, the deputy highlighted.
He went on to point out that under the upcoming rules, Russian residents will be able to actively use digital coins for international settlements and to raise foreign capital by placing such assets on the financial markets of other nations.
Russia moving closer to cryptocurrency legalization
The current push to legalize crypto flows in Russia began when its monetary authority released key points from its new regulatory concept in late December.
The proposal aims to recognize cryptocurrencies as “monetary assets,” expand investor access to them and their derivatives, and help Russian companies attract foreign investment, as reported by Cryptopolitan.
The announcement came after 2025 became the year that significantly changed Russia’s traditionally conservative attitude towards crypto in general.
Pressed by Western sanctions that restricted its access to traditional financial channels, last spring the country introduced a special legal regime permitting the use of digital currencies in cross-border payments.
The “experimental” solution also gave a narrow category of “highly qualified” investors the opportunity to put money into crypto assets. In May, the Central Bank of Russia (CBR) authorized financial firms to offer them crypto derivatives as well.
In November, financial regulators in Moscow started discussing the possibility of scrapping the current overly strict requirements for investors that include a minimum annual income threshold and prior experience in traditional investments.
Under the new legislation, expected to be adopted by July 1, 2026, regular qualified investors and even ordinary citizens will be able to legally buy Bitcoin and the like, although crypto purchases for the latter will be limited to 300,000 rubles ($3,800) a year.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models
The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
