TechFlow news — On January 12, according to Bitcoin.com, the Bank of Russia issued new regulations on digital asset supervision, effective from January 11. The new rules require foreign trade contracts involving digital rights—including cryptocurrencies, tokenized securities, and digital tokens—to be registered with authorized banks. Specifically, digital asset transactions under import contracts exceeding 3 million rubles (approximately $33,000) or export contracts exceeding 10 million rubles (approximately $110,000) are subject to mandatory registration.
Under this policy, residents must provide banks with complete transaction documents and information, including records of digital asset transfers, payment receipts, and other relevant foreign exchange data. The Bank of Russia stated that the move aims to incorporate digital assets into the existing financial regulatory framework, strengthening risk management while promoting innovation and ensuring financial stability.
