Sberbank ready to offer crypto trading once Russia finalizes regulation, says SVP Vesterovsky at Moscow Exchange forum

Sberbank's Senior VP Ruslan Vesterovsky told the Moscow Exchange forum that Russia's largest bank is ready to offer crypto trading the moment regulators greenlight exchange-based trading. He said Sberbank's existing infrastructure can already handle margin trading and AI-driven strategies, and that exchange mechanics would tighten spreads and boost liquidity. Russia's crypto framework is slated for completion by July 2026, positioning Sber to flip the switch as soon as the rules land.
