Sberbank can now run crypto exchange services in Russia. The Bank of Russia put the bank on its register of crypto exchange operators on Oct. 12, according to an Interfax report.
The move gives Sberbank both of the registrations created under Russia’s new crypto framework. On Oct. 6, the central bank had already reportedly listed Sberbank among its first digital depositories, the firms that keep records of cryptocurrency and digital rights holdings. Interfax counted five members on that register, including VTB and Atomyze; the Bank of Russia’s decision pages show a sixth, TT LLC, added on Oct. 12.
