Sberbank has initiated testing of a new service designed for the purchase, sale, and transfer of cryptocurrencies. The current pilot phase includes support for BTC, ETH, USDT, and several other digital assets.
The bank intends to roll out these features to its entire client base starting December 1, 2026, in full compliance with Russian legislation. Services will be integrated into the Sberbank Online, SberInvestments, and SberBusiness platforms.
The final list of tradable cryptocurrencies will be established by Bank of Russia regulations. The official launch timeline remains contingent upon the enactment of these regulatory acts.
On October 6, 2026, Sberbank was officially included in the Bank of Russia's registry of digital depositories. This registration marks a key step in the bank's preparation for the public launch.
