Crypto Brokers in Russia, 2026

Tracked byUpdated

The Russian retail forex/CFD market is overwhelmingly served by offshore brokers — FxPro (SCB), RoboForex (Belize), Tickmill, AvaTrade and Alpari (Mauritius) are the main names that still onboard Russian residents. Domestic licensed forex dealers under FZ-39 are a narrow niche after the Bank of Russia revoked most licences in 2018–2019.

Tax

Personal income tax for residents is 13% (15% on income above ₽5 million per year). Foreign brokers are not tax agents in Russia, so traders must self-declare profits via the 3-NDFL annual return.

Retail trading rules

The Bank of Russia maintains a "register of companies with signs of illegal activity" that includes virtually every offshore broker — listing does not block Russian residents from opening accounts but restricts advertising and domestic payment rails. Since 2022, several FCA/CySEC-licensed brokers have stopped onboarding new Russian retail clients due to sanctions compliance; SEPA and SWIFT funding paths are largely closed, pushing payments toward MIR cards, SBP and USDT.
