Russia proposes a $3,645 annual crypto purchase cap for retail investors, limiting access to Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT under new rules

'Per intermediary' be the three words this headline buries — 300,000 rubles per *exchange*, so a Russian retail buyer workin' five regulated platforms has stacked five caps, not one. CBR drew a number that reads tight in Moscow press briefings while buildin' architecture loose enough for any motivated buyer to sail through. The domestic payment ban be yer compass: fencin' rubles from dollarization while cross-border settlements — read: sanctions rails — move freely. Retail cap on the front door, open hatch for the cargo that actually matters. 🦑
