Russia to Establish Registry of Suspicious Crypto Wallets

In 2025, Rosfinmonitoring will launch a registry of suspicious crypto addresses. This information is contained in the technical specifications for the development of the agency’s IT system, posted on the government procurement website.

The registry will include data received from banks, tax authorities, law enforcement agencies, and international partners.

The initiative aims to combat money laundering, terrorism financing, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The system will automatically analyze incoming information and compile lists of addresses associated with extremist activities or risky transactions.

This new development is part of Rosfinmonitoring’s digital ecosystem. It is also intended for financial investigations, monitoring operations with the digital ruble, and accounting for miners. Experts note that exchanges may be required to provide data on transfers to and from suspicious addresses.

Concurrently, Rostelecom’s subsidiary Fuzzy Logic Labs and Shard have launched a tool for analyzing crypto transaction risks—”CryptoCompliance.” The technology checks wallets and counterparties’ operations, identifies anomalies, helps minimize violations, and ensures compliance with international AML standards.

Valery Golubev, Technical Director of Fuzzy Logic Labs, emphasized that the new solutions enhance the security of crypto transactions and offer businesses effective tools to reduce reputational and financial risks.

Experts highlight that measures to control operations with digital assets are becoming a priority for regulators.

Back in April, RBC reported that authorities had agreed on the introduction of a mechanism for the seizure of cryptocurrency in criminal cases.
