Friends, we are sharing important news related to changes in Russian legislation.
The State Duma has adopted a law regulating the circulation of cryptocurrencies in Russia — it will come into force on September 1, 2026. The law introduces regulated infrastructure for crypto operations: licensed intermediaries, crypto exchanges, and digital depositories. Market participants will have a transitional period until July 1, 2027, to obtain licenses.
In this regard, our partner in exchange operations, ChangeNOW, is restricting the availability of its services to users from Russia until it obtains the necessary licensing.
What this means for you right now:
— Users from Russia will not be able to initiate exchange operations via TONBANKCARD;
— All such requests will be automatically rejected (error 403).
We are closely monitoring the situation and considering options for ensuring access for our users from Russia within the framework of the new regulation. As soon as we have any news, we will inform you immediately.
