The head of the department of supervisory activity of Rosfinmonitoring, Maria Shcherbakova, said that in 2024 banks were 1.3 times more likely to send reports on operations related to cryptocurrencies than a year earlier.

According to her, the P2P transfers between bank accounts began to be used more often to exchange fiat money for crypto assets. At the same time, banks can use various tools to identify details in the context of operations with digital assets.

One of these tools should be the “Transparent blockchain” service. At the moment, the system passes the third stage of testing, in which five large banks take part, Shcherbakova explained. Within the framework of testing, the functions of tracking transactions, scoring estimates of cryptocurns, as well as building schemes for their use by credit institutions are worked out.

It is planned to introduce the transparent blockchain system into personal accounts of banks before the end of the year. According to the pilot, the agency expects to improve the effectiveness of its application to monitor financial transactions with fiat and digital assets, the representative of Rosfinmonitoring emphasized.

Earlier, the deputy director of the Federal Financial Monitoring Service Anton Lisitsyn said that at the moment, more than 12,000 users have been connected to the service that allows analyzing cryptocurrency transactions.
