The Russian retail market is on the verge of a tectonic shift. Purchasing digital financial assets (DFAs) and possibly classic cryptocurrencies could become as common an option in banking apps as a transfer by card number. However, as my analysis shows, the path to this integration will not be as straightforward as it seems at first glance.
The main question now is not whether this functionality will exist, but in what form it will appear and when...

In the fall of 2025, Bitcoin updated its all-time high, but then the market plunged into a prolonged correction. Simultaneously, Russia began tightening regulations on digital currencies, while the stock market demonstrated stability and regular dividend payments.
Against this backdrop, retail investors face a difficult choice. A debate has erupted within the expert community: are Russian private investors really starting to massively shift capital from cryptocurrencies to stocks? Or do these two asset classes serve fundamentally different audiences? My colleagues and I conducted a detailed analysis of the current situation, and the results were mixed...

On June 20, 2026, the Central Command of Iran's Joint Staff "Khatam al-Anbiya" announced a complete blockade of the Strait of Hormuz for shipping.

After the strict restrictions of 2022, Russian investors' access to the US stock market through classic brokerage accounts was virtually blocked.

This week, Brent crude oil recorded its deepest weekly drop in recent months, plunging 9% and falling below the $80 per barrel mark.

For a long time, many traders and analysts considered this dependence an unshakable market rule: cheaper oil is a green light for a subsequent cryptocurrency rebound...
