DescriptionIn addition to issues related to education and criminal law, digital platforms were the focus of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation at today’s forum. Bastrykin emphasized the need for strict regulation and oversight of virtual wallets and cryptocurrencies used in illegal schemes. Against the backdrop of today’s news from the Binance cryptocurrency exchange regarding restrictions on users from the European Union, the CIS is also expecting a tightening of regulations. The question is whether Russian authorities will introduce a complete legislative ban on the circulation of foreign digital currencies that have not undergone state registration within the country by the end of the year.
ConditionsYes: if, between July 16 and December 31, 2026, a law or Central Bank regulation comes into effect in the Russian Federation that completely prohibits (or imposes criminal liability for) the circulation and exchange of cryptocurrencies not registered in the Russian Federation.No: if, by the end of the year, the purchase or sale of cryptocurrency under existing conditions (including P2P markets) remains legal or falls within the scope of current regulations.
