Russia’s Largest Bank Sberbank Launches Structured Bonds Tied to Bitcoin

  • Sberbank, Russia's largest bank, launched Bitcoin-tied structured bonds in 2025 that track Bitcoin prices and the dollar-to-ruble exchange rate.
  • The launch follows the Bank of Russia's May 28 authorization for qualified investors to access crypto-linked derivatives amid growing interest in digital assets.
  • The bonds are available over-the-counter to limited qualified investors, do not require crypto wallets, and all transactions occur in rubles within Russia's legal system.
  • Sberbank intends to introduce comparable cryptocurrency-linked investment products on the Moscow Exchange and will debut Bitcoin futures through its SberInvestments platform on June 4.
  • This move represents notable progress in Russia’s gradual but growing acceptance of cryptocurrency within formal regulatory and investment channels.
