AI Summary
Russia's digital asset law took effect September 1, legalizing regulated crypto trading through licensed intermediaries while limiting non-qualified retail investors to roughly $3,700 of annual purchases. The channel is market structure rather than immediate spot demand: volumes shift from offshore and P2P venues toward licensed domestic platforms, and the low retail cap keeps incremental BTC and ETH inflows small relative to the size of Russian shadow-market activity. Watch which intermediaries actually receive licenses and whether the cap is applied per platform or aggregated across the system, since a fragmented enforcement regime would leave most flow in unregulated channels.
As a Policy signal, watch whether it changes price action, volatility, or flows around BTC, ETH.
