🇷🇺 The Russian Federal Tax Service has started sending preliminary requests to crypto exchangers — they are requesting not only sale and purchase agreements, but also the addresses of wallets from which crypto is sent.

There are two reasons: to check those who paid with cryptocurrency for large purchases (this may be considered a violation of currency control with serious penalties), and to build a database for potential cases against exchange owners under articles concerning illegal banking activities.

So far, there are few cases, but the practice is just forming.

🇷🇺 Banks and brokers may be allowed to operate as crypto exchanges — without a separate full license, but on a notification basis using their existing permits, — stated Nabiullina.

💳 In Russia, there are plans to create a unified registry of bank cards by 2027, to track the total number of cards each person has across all banks.

Starting September 1, 2026, limits will also come into effect — up to 5 cards in one bank and up to 20 in total, which should help combat "drops" and fraudulent schemes.

According to the Central Bank, most ordinary customers will be virtually unaffected by these restrictions.
