The Central Bank of Russia (ЦБ) is responsible for setting official exchange rates for major currencies, including the U.S. dollar, euro, and Chinese yuan. It has recently adjusted these rates, with the dollar surpassing 85 rubles—the first time since September 2025—while also monitoring inflation, financial stability, and cybercrime-related losses in banking. The bank has issued guidelines on crypto asset trading, including the inclusion of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether USDT in the list of available cryptocurrencies for retail investors.
