In December 2022, Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Anatoly Aksakov allowed the possibility of launching the Russian crypto exchange in the second quarter of 2023, saying that he did not exclude the involvement of SPB Exchange in this process. Later, the Ministry of Finance supported the idea of bringing DFAs to Russian exchanges.
