Tinkoff wants to enter the cryptocurrency market
Traditional financial institutions in various parts of the world are looking to enter the cryptocurrency market. However, some are restricted by the regulatory challenges in their countries.This is the case with Tinkoff, Russia’s biggest online bank. Oliver Hughes, Tinkoff’s CEO, told CNBC yesterday that it wants to offer cryptocurrencies to its users. The CEO said there is a massive demand for crypto assets from its clients. However, it cannot offer cryptocurrencies for now due to the strict regulatory stance from the Bank of Russia.
He stated that qualified investors who know what they are doing are seeking access to cryptocurrencies. “There’s no mechanism for us to offer that product to them in Russia at the moment because the central bank has got this very tough position,” Hughes said.
The CEO stated that he understands the concerns over the use of cryptocurrencies in money laundering and investors who regard cryptos as get-quick-rich schemes. However, he pointed out that professional investors are becoming comfortable with cryptocurrencies. “Hopefully, over time, this will evolve, and we’ll be able to achieve the aims of the central bank, making sure there are no money laundering issues, making sure we’re protecting investors, but also offer products in a responsible way,” he added.
Cryptocurrencies are legal in Russia, but their transactions are not
Russia recognized cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin as legal, financial instruments last year. However, it banned the use of the cryptocurrencies for payments of goods and services, stating that only the Russian Ruble is considered as a legal tender in the country.Earlier this week, the Bank of Russia governor Elvira Nabiullina pointed out that digital currencies are the future of the financial system. However, she was referring to central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and not cryptocurrencies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
