Russia Sets New Rules for Crypto Cross-Border Payments Under Law 282-FZ

  • —Full transition to the new settlement model under 282-FZ is due by July 1, 2027
  • —Crypto transactions in Russia reached $376.3 billion, per Chainalysis
  • —The law defines five participant types: depositories, brokers, managers, trading organizers, exchangers
  • —First licensed depositories and crypto exchangers are expected in early October 2026
Why it matters: The new regime formalizes crypto payment infrastructure for Russian foreign trade while pushing self-custody outside the legal framework.
