Huobi Russia, a Moscow-based franchise of the Singapore-based crypto exchange, has launched Russian ruble deposits and will soon have its own exchange token launchpad.Starting Thursday, users of Huobi Russia have an option to deposit Russian rubles on their balances via bank transfers, the exchange announced Thursday at an event in Moscow.
The deposits will be processed via a bank in Uzbekistan, where Huobi Russia's legal entity, HBRU CIS, has secured an approval letter from the country's Justice Ministry, Huobi Russia CEO Vladimir Demin told CoinDesk.
Huobi will be working with local institution InfinBank, Demin told CoinDesk.
Huobi's Moscow office is also launching its own platform for initial exchange offerings, called Huobi Russia Origin.
Projects that wanted to conduct a token launch on Huobi could only do it via the exchange's launchpad platform Huobi Prime, managed by Huobi Global.
According to Shawn Chong, a business development lead at Huobi Cloud, the exchange's franchise management branch, Huobi Russia Origin will have its own token for fees that will be launched soon.
A listing on Origin will not mean the project will also be listed on Huobi Prime, and such tokens will be available only for buyers registered on the Russian platform, Chong told CoinDesk.
A separate listing service had been requested by the Huobi Russia team and Huobi Cloud decided to provide the option, he said.
The launch date for Origin is still to be determined, and will depend on the demand for potential listings on the new platform, he said.
There will be no listing fee, but Huobi Russia may offer associated paid services, like a legal opinion on the project before listing, he said.
