The Moscow Exchange plans to launch a digital custody platform, which will support cryptocurrency asset services as early as the end of this year

According to RBC, the Moscow Exchange (MOEX) in Russia is preparing to launch a digital custody platform for cryptocurrency trading (digital custodian). Sources say that the project is currently still in the development stage and is expected to go live as early as the end of 2026 to early 2027.It is reported that this digital custody platform will not be built on the Moscow Exchange itself or the National Settlement Depository (NSD) under it, but will operate as a completely new independent structure. As Russia's regulatory framework for digital currencies is expected to partially take effect from September 1, the market still lacks a clear plan for the custody and registration mechanisms of crypto assets. Various technical models are currently being discussed within the industry.One proposal is to establish multiple liquidity centers for crypto assets, where brokers can access the Moscow Exchange's digital custody platform or conduct related business through their own digital custody systems. Another proposal may involve trading platforms handling trade matching, while the storage and registration of crypto assets are completed by banks or digital custodians under brokers.Previously, several large banks in Russia, including Sberbank, VTB Bank, T-Bank, and Alfa-Bank, have expressed plans to launch digital custody services. With the Moscow Exchange entering this field, competition among traditional financial institutions is expected to intensify and may further enhance crypto asset services.

Analysis: Bitcoin is oscillating between favorable regulations and rising yields, with continuous outflows from ETFs putting pressure on prices

According to Decrypt, the price of Bitcoin remains around $80,350, with a short-term increase of only 0.8%, continuing to face pressure after multiple attempts to break through the $82,000 resistance level failed. This range is seen as a combined resistance level of the ETF cost line, the 200-day moving average, and the CME gap filling area. Although the U.S. CLARITY Act has passed the Senate Banking Committee, bringing positive expectations for crypto regulation, institutional funds continue to withdraw.Data shows that the net outflow of the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF has decreased to an average of -$88 million per day over the past seven days, marking the largest outflow since mid-February. Analysts believe that this round of selling pressure is more about "profit-taking" rather than panic selling. On a macro level, rising U.S. Treasury yields have become a core source of pressure. The yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury bond has risen to about 4.52%, reaching a 10-month high, while the April CPI has increased by 3.8% year-on-year, the highest level in three years, further delaying market expectations for a Federal Reserve interest rate cut.Analysts point out that geopolitical conflicts are driving up energy prices, exacerbating inflationary pressures, thereby weakening the appeal of risk assets. From an institutional perspective, some analysts believe that the current outflow of ETF funds is part of portfolio rebalancing rather than a trend-based withdrawal.The options market shows that Bitcoin faces significant resistance in the $82,000-$84,000 range, while $77,000 is a key support level. If the price falls below this range and leverage does not cool down, the market may enter a deleveraging phase, increasing the risk of a correction.
