Sber will build the infrastructure for cryptocurrency trading and launch a digital depository by December 1, 2026, First Deputy Chairman of the bank’s Executive Board Alexander Vedyakhin told TASS.

“Sber welcomes the adoption of the law regulating the cryptocurrency market. It is an important step toward establishing the crypto asset market in Russia. Sber consistently participated in consultations with the Bank of Russia on the draft law in order to strike a balance between the interests of the state, investor protection, and market development. Sber plans to build the necessary infrastructure for cryptocurrency trading and launch a digital depository by December 1, 2026,” Vedyakhin said.
