Russian Central Bank Proposes Criminal Liability for Unlicensed Crypto Exchanges
The Central Bank of Russia plans to introduce criminal liability for operating in the cryptocurrency market without a license. The regulations will affect exchanges, brokers, and exchangers, stated Deputy Chairman Vladimir Chistyukhin during a broadcast on Radio RBC. "If an individual offers professional services related to cryptocurrencies without any license [...], criminal liability may be established," the official noted. Regarding administrative offenses, Chistyukhin clarified that the main burden will fall on financial intermediaries. In other words, the party providing the illegal service will be punished. These regulations are planned to be introduced as part of the draft law "On Digital Currency and Digital Rights." On April 1, the government submitted the document to the State Duma: it outlines the licensing of cryptocurrency market participants, the introduction of limits for unqualified investors, and de-anonymization procedures. Cash Transactions Prohibited In the discussion, Chistyukhin also mentioned that cryptocurrency exchange in the country will only be possible for non-cash money. There are no plans to create a mechanism for converting digital assets into cash in Russia. "We assume that all operations should be conducted in a cashless manner. But I mean payment in fiat currency," he emphasized. Responding to a question about "offices in Moscow City," the Deputy Chairman of the Central Bank stated that the authorities want to provide an opportunity for market participants, currently outside the legal framework, to legalize their activities. According to him, the conditions for obtaining a crypto exchange license are "quite simple": a small capital, requirements for founders and management, establishing an anti-money laundering control system, and minimal reporting. Asset Storage Permitted Chistyukhin clarified that the draft law does not prohibit Russians from storing assets in non-custodial wallets. In the future, they can be declared for legal transactions. However, withdrawing coins from official Russian cryptocurrency depositories and exchanges will only be possible to custodial wallets. "From the perspective of complying with AML/CFT rules, we want them to be as transparent as possible, and for Russian infrastructure and intermediaries not to put themselves at risk," he noted. "No one prohibits" individuals and legal entities from continuing to hold digital assets "in foreign wallets," but they must be declared to the tax authorities, the official reminded. "All cryptocurrency currently held by Russian individuals [...] will remain unchanged. It will continue to belong to the Russian resident. There is no punishment for its possession, nor any restrictions on its use," Chistyukhin emphasized. Back in February, the Ministry of Finance, together with the Central Bank and federal executive authorities, developed a concept for tokenizing real-world assets.
CryptoQuant: Bitcoin Rally Driven by New Long Positions in Perpetual Futures Market
The rise in Bitcoin and Ethereum prices is attributed to the opening of new long positions in the perpetual futures market, according to analysts at CryptoQuant. In the 24 hours following Donald Trump's announcement of a two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran, Bitcoin's price increased by about 4%, while Ethereum rose by 6%. This marked the strongest daily movement in over a month, breaking the recent downward trend. According to Julio Moreno, head of research at CryptoQuant, the main driver of this growth was participants in the derivatives market. Within 24 hours of the news, open interest (OI) in perpetual contracts for BTC and ETH increased by $2.1 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively. The dollar-denominated OI for both assets reached a near-monthly high. "The synchronous surge reflects positioning amid macro events: traders anticipate a rise in risk appetite. Importantly, the coin-denominated OI also grew significantly. This rules out short liquidations as the main cause and confirms the opening of net new longs," Moreno emphasized. Return of Buyers Simultaneously, buying activity increased on futures platforms. The Taker Buy Sell Ratio for both cryptocurrencies exceeded one, indicating buyer dominance and confidence in further growth. "Coordinated bullish positioning in BTC and ETH confirms that the market is pricing in a sustainable improvement in macro conditions, at least in the short term," the expert added. Meanwhile, demand from US investors has rebounded. The Coinbase premium index for both coins turned positive after several weeks in the negative. Moreno believes that if the ceasefire holds, it will support the trend and strengthen the upward momentum. Coinbase Premium Index. Source: CoinGlass. The price of the leading cryptocurrency has already surpassed the key level of around $69,400 — the lower realized price for traders, which had served as a resistance zone for several weeks. If the asset maintains this level and the geopolitical situation does not deteriorate, the next target will be around $79,000, analysts noted. Historically, this threshold is a resistance zone for the bear market and "the main obstacle to structural recovery."Several metrics indicated a potential trend reversal for the leading cryptocurrency.
