Russia to Restrict Self-Custodial Crypto Wallets, Excluding Retail Investors

According to Bits.media citing Russian Finance Ministry Deputy Ivan Chebeskov, Russia plans to restrict self-custodial crypto wallet usage to a limited number of legal entities while barring retail investors. Non-custodial wallet assets may only be withdrawn to verified custodial wallets from regulated Russian exchanges, and domestic holdings cannot be transferred to foreign non-custodial addresses. The country's crypto bill passed a first reading in the State Duma and is preparing for a second reading, which may introduce additional transaction fees on certain cryptocurrencies including USDT to discourage their use.
