In the fall of 2025, Bitcoin updated its all-time high, after which the market entered a prolonged correction. Against this backdrop, Russia tightened regulation of digital currencies, while the stock market continues to operate under transparent rules and steadily pay dividends. A logical question arises: has a mass exodus of private capital from crypto to stocks begun?
My analysis shows that there is no clear answer — experts are divided in their opinions, and they differ not only in their conclusions but also in their very interpretation of the current market situation...

This week, the energy market experienced a serious shock: the Brent benchmark fell below the $80 per barrel mark, posting its deepest weekly drop in months at around 9%.

Banks vs. Exchangers: When will cryptocurrency appear in Russian banking apps?
Russian retail investors are on the verge of a tectonic shift. The ability to buy digital assets directly through bank mobile apps, bypassing third-party exchangers, is no longer a hypothesis but a matter of time. However, the form of implementation, timeline, and scale of this phenomenon are sparking lively debates among market participants. Let's figure out what awaits us.
