Russian households have invested 3.7 billion rubles, or approximately $47.3 million, in the cryptocurrency derivatives sector.

PANews reported on November 28th, citing Cryptopolitan, that the Central Bank of Russia stated that while investment in domestic cryptocurrency derivatives by Russian citizens is increasing, it does not pose a risk to the financial system. Its Financial Stability Assessment report released data for the second and third quarters of 2025: Russian households invested approximately 3.7 billion rubles (about $47.3 million) in cryptocurrency-based derivatives, some of which were Russian bonds with returns linked to the value of digital assets. Individual participants' investments in cryptocurrency-linked futures contracts on the Moscow Exchange were also small; of the 1,900 investors trading cryptocurrency futures, most had small portfolios, not exceeding 500,000 rubles (about $6,400). Meanwhile, the largest contributors to overall investment were a few large participants with open positions exceeding 100 million rubles (about $1.28 million). Furthermore, in the second and third quarters of 2025, trading volume by Russian citizens on foreign cryptocurrency exchanges decreased by 18% compared to the previous two quarters.
