According to Odaily, the Russian government released a document on Friday detailing a new law signed by President Vladimir Putin that significantly expands the regulation of digital currencies. This legislation, which will take effect on November 1, introduces several amendments aimed at enhancing oversight and imposing restrictions on cryptocurrency mining activities based on regional needs. The law grants the government the authority to impose mining restrictions based on location and outlines specific procedures and circumstances under which mining operations can be prohibited. Notably, the law empowers the government to prevent digital currency mining pools from operating in certain areas. Additionally, the government now has the authority to regulate infrastructure providers that support mining operations.
The legislation also authorizes multiple federal agencies, beyond the Federal Financial Monitoring Service (Rosfinmonitoring), to access digital currency identification addresses. This expansion includes federal administrative and law enforcement agencies, enhancing their ability to track transactions potentially linked to money laundering or terrorist financing activities. Furthermore, the amendments transfer the responsibility of the national mining registry from the Ministry of Digital Development to the Federal Tax Service, which will now oversee the registration of mining enterprises and remove those that repeatedly violate regulations. While individual miners can continue to operate without registration if they adhere to specific electricity consumption limits, companies and individual entrepreneurs must comply with the new registration requirements.#Russia #Cryptocurrency #Regulation #DigitalCurrencies #Mining #VladimirPutin #Law #FinancialMonitoring #MoneyLaundering #TerroristFinancing #MiningRegistry #ElectricityConsumption

According to Odaily, the Russian Central Bank is collaborating with the financial monitoring agency Rosfinmonitoring to develop a centralized monitoring platform aimed at identifying and preventing illegal financial activities, including over-the-counter (OTC) cryptocurrency transactions. This platform will integrate information on abnormal transactions, utilizing AI data analysis and real-time monitoring to proactively identify high-risk accounts. The data will be shared with banks to mitigate risks.
In 2023, the volume of illegal transactions through personal accounts in Russia reached 44.9 billion rubles (approximately $491 million). Major banks such as Sber and VTB are supporting this initiative. The platform will also include a dispute resolution mechanism to protect the rights of legitimate users. However, there is currently no specified launch date for the platform.#Russia #CentralBank #FinancialMonitoring #IllegalActivities #Cryptocurrency #AI #RealTimeMonitoring #Banking #FinancialRisk #DisputeResolution

According to Odaily, Ukrainian senior lawmaker Danylo Hetmantsev announced that Kyiv is expected to "legalize" cryptocurrency by this summer, with the main text of the relevant bill fully prepared. Hetmantsev, who chairs the Finance, Tax, and Customs Policy Committee of Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada, stated that lawmakers are still discussing several issues, including how regulators and law enforcement will apply "financial monitoring" methods to cryptocurrency transactions. Additionally, the bill's designers must address tax-related matters before submitting the draft to the Rada. Hetmantsev noted that Kyiv will not offer any "bonuses or benefits" to companies and individuals using cryptocurrency. He explained that Kyiv has consulted with international experts on legalization issues, who believe that any "preferential regime" could impose an uneven tax burden on traditional industries using cryptocurrency. Kyiv plans to ensure that cryptocurrency transactions are subject to the same tax rates as other investment assets, adopting a standard tax rate system.#Ukraine #Cryptocurrency #Legalization #DanyloHetmantsev #Finance #TaxPolicy #VerkhovnaRada #FinancialMonitoring #TaxRates #InvestmentAssets

According to ChainCatcher, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is set to hold a roundtable discussion on December 15, focusing on cryptocurrency, financial monitoring, and privacy. Participants will include notable figures such as Zcash founder Zooko Wilcox.
Analysts suggest that the SEC may use this meeting to assess the regulatory emphasis it can place on crypto privacy projects during its rule-making process. If a consensus is reached that zero-knowledge proofs can fulfill compliance obligations, this flexibility could be integrated into the rules for digital asset brokers, alternative trading systems, and custodians.
However, if the meeting divides into camps viewing privacy as either a right or a facilitator of crime, the SEC might continue with its current monitoring-focused framework, potentially leading privacy advocates to pursue legal action.#SEC #cryptocurrency #financialmonitoring #privacy #Zcash #digitalassets #regulations #zeroknowledgeproofs #legalaction #privacyadvocates #ZEC
