Bitcoin access is restricted in Russia

Read the legal section below before acting on anything here.

Bitcoin access is restricted in Russia, and Coinmama does not serve residents of Russia either: Russia is on the list of restricted countries that Coinmama itself publishes, quoted below with the date it was read. Holding bitcoin is legal in Russia and the rules are consolidating: legislation signed in August 2026 creates a regulated crypto market under Bank of Russia oversight, effective from September 2026, with exchanges and custodians required to obtain licenses.

Where this comes from

Derived from Coinmama's restricted countries and states page, https://www.coinmama.com/support/restricted-countries-and-states, read on 2026-09-05. It is an exclusion list: every country listed here is a sourced no, and a country absent from it is unknown rather than served. The page also names New York and Louisiana, which the state pages cover, and territories without a guide on this site (Abkhazia, Crimea, Northern Cyprus, South Ossetia, the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic and North Korea), which are not listed. Nine of the countries on the page (Belarus, the Central African Republic, Lebanon, Nicaragua, Palestine, Somalia, South Sudan, Venezuela and Zimbabwe) were ranked in this site's guides until 2026-09-07, when those rows were removed on the strength of this page: the operator's own list decides availability.

What is actually allowed in Russia

RestrictedCountry guide reviewed 2026-08-20

Holding bitcoin is legal in Russia and the rules are consolidating: legislation signed in August 2026 creates a regulated crypto market under Bank of Russia oversight, effective from September 2026, with exchanges and custodians required to obtain licenses. Industrial mining has been legal since a 2024 law, and an experimental legal regime permits crypto settlements in cross-border trade. Using crypto as payment inside Russia remains prohibited, and Western sanctions, including an EU ban on providing crypto services to Russian residents, isolate the country from global exchanges.

Why does Coinmama not serve Russia?

Coinmama names Russia on the restricted-countries list it publishes, without a per-country reason. The list is quoted on this page with the date it was read; a country absent from it is unknown rather than served, which is why this site only says no where the operator itself does.
