🔥Please invite the 12 above back to the table, and toast each one: $BTC: The table leader, calm and steady, everyone uses it as a price reference. $ETH: The deputy leader, claims to be "the world computer," but is actually the best at shaking hands with regulators. $USDT: The accountant, all ruble transactions go through it, with a 1%–3% premium as its "toll fee." $USDC / $DAI: Two suited guests, increasingly afraid to sit for long, worried the next second their domain might be "seized by USSS." $SOL: The newcomer, fast, cheap, and lively; when MOEX included it in the index, it was like getting half a ticket inside the system. $XRP: The veteran international remittance player, suddenly popular again in Russian foreign trade settlements—after all, it knows "how to bypass SWIFT" better than anyone. $TRX: Sun's coin, like free soup in the Russian canteen, everyone takes a ladle, neither expensive nor wasted. $BNB: Binance's shadow currency, even though Binance sold its Russian business, its index still runs on Moscow screens. $LTC: The silver supporting role, neither hot nor cold for ten years, perfect for "I just want to exchange a few hundred dollars." $XMR: The vodka under the table—not fond of showing up, but when you really need to hide something, everyone turns to it. $TON: The only "local relative" at this table, with Telegram lineage, exceptionally smooth for wallets and off-exchange ruble swaps in Russia. After September 1, the "Digital Currency and Digital Rights Law" officially takes effect. Ordinary Russian citizens can only buy up to 300,000 rubles (about 24,000 RMB) per year from one licensed intermediary, and only recognize BTC, ETH, and USDT for now; the other nine are mostly played by qualified investors and foreign trade companies in the short term. So even though there are 12 at the table, the real bowls for retail investors right now are still those three old faces—the other nine are chairs reserved for the "next phase."
