Russian Crypto Purchase in Rubble Falls across Major Exchanges

According to a report, Russian denominated crypto purchasing and trading have fallen on major exchanges. This is not unconnected to an increase in economic sanctions on Russia which has affected crypto being purchased in rubles across major exchanges. Data from Chainalysis indicated that ruble-denominated crypto trading volume was just $34.1 million on Thursday. This is far below a recent peak of $70.7 million on February, 24. This has demystified the theories that the country will shift to digital assets to circumvent sanctions.

In a related development, the New York state has increased its blockchain surveillance to prevent cryptocurrencies or digital assets from being used to support Russian interests. On February 27, NY Governor Kathy Hochul has given an executive order compelling state agencies to divest from Russian institutions and companies. She said: “New York is proudly home to the nation‘s largest Ukrainian population and we will use our technology assets to protect our people and show Russia that we will hold them accountable.”
