Moscow Exchange plans digital depository for crypto trading

Moscow Exchange plans to establish its own digital depository for cryptocurrency trading and asset management, RBC reported. The platform is currently in the early stages of development and is targeting an official launch between late 2026 and early 2027. Similar to conventional stock trading, it is expected to allow users to buy, sell and hold cryptocurrencies through securities firm and broker apps, which would significantly improve accessibility for retail investors and the safety of asset custody.
