The Bank of Russia says selected exporters and importers may use cryptocurrencies for cross-border settlements under foreign-trade agreements, but only within an experimental legal regime. Moscow has created a state-backed corridor for selected trade payments while the infrastructure around digital-asset flows remains exposed to sanctions pressure.
