Russia is considering blocking foreign cryptocurrency exchange websites as early as this summer, aligning with its domestic crypto regulatory progress. Bestchange senior analyst Nikita Zuborev suggests this timeline may coincide with the Russian government's commitment to introduce new crypto market regulations by July 1. The potential block could involve removing DNS records for unregistered major exchanges and platforms within the regulated Russian internet (Runet), similar to measures used against YouTube. While some experts believe Russia might adopt a Belarus-like access restriction framework, completely preventing users from trading crypto assets via foreign services could prove challenging.
