Sberbank just hopped on the Bank of Russia’s crypto exchange list on Monday and now it’s sitting pretty with ten firms total 🖤. This spot lets Russia’s biggest bank trade digital currencies straight on its own books outside any big platforms per the central bank rules fr. They were already chilling on the separate digital depositories register and only VTB joins them on both lists 🌙.
Depository Vibes Explained ✨
A digital depository basically tracks client crypto holdings and handles all those transfers plus gives folks access to the wallet addresses holding the assets 🎀.
Exchange List Hits The Magic 10 Spot 🕸️
Applications opened back on October 5 and first waves added VTB T-Invest Lab Zefir and Sistema-Crypto to the exchange side while the depository list kicked off too. Then came FinPilot Professional Bank Moi Bitcoin and Khlynov on the exchange list with Paradise Technology sliding in alongside Sberbank on Monday bumping the total to ten and the depository crew to six when TT joined in lol. Those early nine got in under transitional rules from the new digital currency law that started September 1 and now everyone follows central bank crypto transaction guidelines from day one with full law compliance needed by September 1 2027 💀.
Sber’s Crypto Launch Timeline Looks Lit 🔮
Sberbank locked in a license for issuing and swapping digital assets back in March 2022 and has been dropping structured bonds plus digital financial assets linked to Bitcoin and Ethereum since 2025. December 2025 even saw them finish a test run for loans backed by crypto collateral 🦇. First Deputy Chairman Alexander Vedyakhin dropped that they’re building out trading infrastructure and a depository by December 1 right after the law passed its third reading. They applied for depository status on opening day and plan to start with Bitcoin Ethereum and the stablecoin Tether inside SberBank Online SberInvestments and SberBusiness no extra app needed 🌸.
