The Russian central bank announced its intention to carry out a “complete control” which includes all the goods and transactions of digital currencies in the country at the beginning of 2026.
The Russian newspaper Izvestia indicated that the bank intended to carry out a specific examination of business investments operating in the field of digital currencies, including loan sizes and the financial activity associated with them.
The Russian central bank: digital currencies arrive
The Central Bank has announced that it also intended to examine “individual investments” in digital financial products “whose yields are linked to the prices of digital assets”, which should include digital currency derivatives and other similar financial products, many of which have already been put on the exchange of Moscow and other Russian markets this year.
The newspaper said that the bank’s decision “reflects its growing interest in risks and opportunities” in the field of digital currencies. The bank believes that these risks and opportunities affect “not only the global markets, but also the Russian economy”.
The Bank has announced that “a survey on digital assets and loans for digital currency companies will take place during the first two months of 2026. Managers have explained that the survey aims to” assess the volume of entities organized in digital currencies, including those allocated for risk conversion. “”
Guidance on cripto derivatives
The Central Bank also called the Moscow Stock Exchange and commercial banks, which provide Craco derivatives to send monthly reports to negotiating transactions and volumes, and many differences have already occurred between the bank and the Ministry of Finance concerning the CRIPTO sector policy.
These differences are represented by the ministry’s effort to organize the Crabibo sector, impose taxes and withdraw it from “ambiguity”, while the bank prefers in search of solutions that maintain drawing activities on the fringes of the Russian economic system.
On this subject, Kirill Karpov – Lecturer in the Department of Financial Law of the Moscow State University – told the newspaper:
“The Bank and the Government will use survey information to help formulate an organizational policy, and they will seek to regulate the market to collect the tax revenue of it.”
For his part, the legal expert said: Olga Zakharova said:
“Currently, Russian legislation has not authorized any legal activity in Krebtu, with the exception of the work of officially registered digital currencies and participants in the experimental banking project.”
The experimental project mentioned for Russian companies makes it possible to use digital currencies as a payment tool in international trade agreements, and the bank has agreed with difficulty on the experimental project in its refutation exhibition to pack the sanctions imposed by Washington, Brussels and London on Russia.
Solid surveillance efforts
In addition to the experimental project, many companies would conduct commercial transactions directly in digital currencies with international partners. On the other hand, another Russian expert said that the bank was aware of its need for more data on the Chipto sector in the coming years, and told the same newspaper that the global digital currency market “currently represents around 2% of total financial assets”, adding:
“This level of risk does not yet constitute real threats to the Russian economy, but this situation requires continuous monitoring.”
Despite this prudent position manifested by the bank, the Crapeto sector has strong support in Russian direction, while senior politicians have made repeated calls to the Kremlin to accelerate the organization of Crapeto platforms and consider the question of the launch of Bitcoin-BTC strategic reserve in Russia.
