Russian Banks Demand Proof of Central Bank Registry Entries That Don't Exist Yet Under 282-FZ

  • —282-FZ partially in force since September 1, 2026, with full compliance due by July 1, 2027
  • —Banks demand proof from Bank of Russia registries that do not yet exist
  • —In some cases this led to corporate settlement accounts being blocked
  • —Crypto exchange will be limited to entities in the central bank registry, SRO and digital depository
Why it matters: The gap between the law and practice creates account-freeze risks for companies using crypto in foreign trade before the registries are built.
