Russia's Central Bank to Ban Anonymous Crypto Transfers Domestically
- —Transfers without sender and recipient data will be automatically blocked
- —Transfers under 60,000 rubles require only name and wallet address
- —Amounts above 60,000 rubles require INN and date of birth
- —Depositories will be linked to the central bank's Know Your Customer platform
Why it matters: Tighter controls on domestic crypto transfers reduce anonymity and could curb crypto activity in Russia.
