Russia's Central Bank Proposes Tagging Criminally Obtained Crypto

  • Central Bank calls crypto tagging mandatory to trace criminal funds
  • Crypto turnover in Russia estimated at 50 billion rubles per day, about 10 trillion a year
  • Around 20 million crypto users in the country with 3.7 trillion rubles invested
  • N31 and N32 ratios to cap bank crypto exposure at 1% from January 2027
Why it matters: Tighter oversight and coin tagging could complicate crypto circulation in Russia and affect exchanges and custodians.
