<p><strong>A Russian law regulating cryptocurrency has taken effect, moving the country's digital-asset rules from proposal to enforceable framework. The measure is recorded in Russia's official legal act registry, marking the formal start date for the new regime.</strong></p><div class="on-chain-data" style="background:#0d0f17;border-left:3px solid #ffd740;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;border-radius:4px;"><p style="margin:0 0 8px;color:#ffd740;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;">TLDR KEY POINTS</p><ul style="margin:0;color:#e6edf3;"><li>Russia's cryptocurrency law is now in force, per the official state legal act registry.</li><li>The statute traces to a bill tracked through the State Duma legislative process.</li><li>Details beyond the official filings remain limited; readers should watch for implementing guidance.</li></ul></div><h2 id="what-the-new-russian-crypto-law-does">What the new Russian crypto law does</h2><p>The law is published in Russia's <a href="https://publication.pravo.gov.ru/document/0001202608040007" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">official legal act registry</a>, the government channel that records statutes once they are signed and dated for entry into force.
