Russia plans to ban direct peer-to-peer crypto trades from July 2027

Russia is reportedly planning to ban direct peer-to-peer cryptocurrency trades starting in July 2027, according to Crypto Briefing. The move would restrict domestic crypto accessibility and could push activity into informal markets, potentially altering global trade dynamics. Traders should watch for regulatory spillover effects on exchanges and P2P platforms serving Russian users, though the long lead time limits immediate price impact.
