The tokens, each sold for less than $20, were offered exclusively to authorized investors who will receive repayment in November 2026, with the initiative framed as an effort to open diamond investments to smaller participants. The move positions Expobank at the intersection of cryptocurrency tokenization and alternative asset investment within Russia's commodity markets.The PaypersHSBC to sell its Russian unit to ExpobankHSBC has agreed to sell its Russian corporate banking unit to Expobank, marking the bank's formal exit from the Russian market.
