Russian households have invested 3.7 billion rubles, approximately $47.3 million, in crypto derivatives.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cryptopolitan, the Central Bank of Russia stated that although domestic investment in cryptocurrency derivatives is growing among the country's population, it does not pose a risk to the financial system.

The released "Financial Stability Assessment" report published data for the second and third quarters of 2025: Russian households invested about 3.7 billion rubles (approximately $47.3 million) in cryptocurrency-based derivatives, with part of the investment linked to Russian bonds whose returns are tied to the value of digital assets. Individual participants' investments in cryptocurrency-linked futures contracts on the Moscow Exchange are also small in scale. Among the 1,900 investors trading cryptocurrency futures, most have small portfolios, not exceeding 500,000 rubles (about $6,400). Meanwhile, the largest contribution to the overall investment scale comes from a few large participants, whose open positions exceed 100 million rubles (about $1.28 million). In addition, in the second and third quarters of 2025, the trading volume of Russian citizens on overseas crypto exchanges decreased by 18% compared to the previous two quarters.
