The head of the legal department of Rosfinmonitoring Olga Tisen, speaking at the St. Petersburg International Law Forum, said that a bilateral information exchange of information about digital assets and transactions was established between the participants in the Russian cryptocurrency market and the Russian supervisory authorities.
Unlike the movement of funds on bank accounts, cryptocurrency transactions do not apply to the information constituting a banking secret, and law enforcement agencies do not need information about the owner of the cryptocurrency, the official said.
“Now it is already openly said that crypto-rhizas are issued information at the request of Russian law enforcement and state bodies about the owners of cryptocurrency wallets, as well as all the information on the identity code, that is, an open cryptocurrency key from the cryptocurular. Thus, the anonymity of cryptocurrency transactions is currently a myth, ”said Tysen.
Moreover, an employee of Rosfinmonitoring added, popular with Russian users, digital trading platforms, for example, the Binance exchange, in accordance with international standards created special sections on their sites for interaction with Russian law enforcement agencies.
Earlier, the head of the department of supervisory activity of Rosfinmonitoring, Maria Shcherbakova, said that in 2024 banks began to be more often sent to the regulator of reports related to cryptocurrencies.
