Bank of Russia to keep public registry of licensed crypto exchanges despite sanctions

  • —Bank of Russia has no plans to suspend publication of crypto exchange registries
  • —No exceptions even for platforms serving corporate clients only
  • —NAUFOR received SRO status for digital depositories and crypto exchanges
  • —Police shut five crypto exchanges tied to a darknet drug marketplace, over 185,000 transactions
Why it matters: Public registries keep sanctions exposure for licensed players but give clients a way to verify legitimate services.
