Cryptocurrencies vs. Stocks: Where Are Russian Investors' Money Really Going?
In the fall of 2025, Bitcoin updated its all-time high, but this was followed by a prolonged correction. At the same time, Russia began tightening regulation of digital currencies, while the domestic stock market offers clear rules of the game and stable dividends. Against this backdrop, retail investors face a difficult choice. The main question is: are real funds flowing from crypto into stocks, or are these two parallel worlds that barely intersect?

Disconnect: why bitcoin ignores the oil crash and what is actually driving the market
This week, Brent crude oil experienced its deepest weekly decline in recent months, plunging 9% and falling below the $80 per barrel mark.

This price divergence forces us to reconsider the established notion of a strong link between the black gold market and the leading cryptocurrency...
