Russian authorities are preparing measures to restrict access to foreign cryptocurrency exchanges after an estimated $15 billion in digital assets reportedly flowed out of the country. Officials argue the move is aimed at strengthening financial oversight, reducing capital flight, and supporting domestic platforms operating under new regulatory frameworks. The proposal would tighten controls on cross-border crypto transactions and potentially limit services that allow Russians to trade on overseas exchanges. The shift reflects Moscow’s broader effort to bring the crypto sector under stricter supervision amid economic sanctions and currency pressures.
