Russia's Central Bank develops new monitoring platform to combat illegal cryptocurrency OTC services

the Central Bank of Russia is developing a new monitoring platform to combat illegal cryptocurrency transactions and strengthen financial security. Insider sources revealed that this measure is being implemented in cooperation with Rosfinmonitoring. The platform will centralize information on suspicious activities, allowing banks to take preemptive action and refuse to open accounts for high-risk individuals. Bogdan Shaplyya, the director of the Central Bank's Financial Monitoring and Currency Control Service, confirmed that the platform's goal is to make illegal financial operations economically unfeasible by blocking them at entry points. Unlike KYC systems, which rely heavily on passive measures and major monitoring companies, this platform will actively target individual accounts and focus on real-time detection of abnormal transaction patterns.
