CIS security services rehearse tracking terrorist crypto wallets in drills
- —The "Eurasia-Anti-Terror 2026" drills covered four stages: analyzing links, checking social media, identifying wallets, and cashing out via an exchange
- —CIS financial intelligence units received a standalone stage on countering terrorist financing for the first time
- —Russia's central bank added 2,600 crypto wallets linked to illegal schemes worth over 1 billion rubles in H1 2026
- —Cold crypto wallet sales in Russia rose 107% in Q2 and 84% over six months on Wildberries
Why it matters: Tighter crypto wallet oversight across the CIS raises compliance risks for non-custodial services and anonymous transactions in the region.
