Survey by the Central Bank of Russia
The Bank of Russia plans a large‐scale survey audit of crypto investments and lending to crypto‐related businesses in early 2026.
The survey will cover companies regulated by the bank, assessing how much they invest in crypto, how much they lend to crypto companies, etc.
It will also include individuals who hold digital financial products whose returns are tied to the price of cryptoassets (e.g. derivatives or similar instruments).
The timeframe for collecting these data is January–February 2026. The deadline for regulated entities to provide data is by February 1, 2026.
Monthly Reporting for Derivatives
The central bank has ordered that institutions dealing in crypto derivatives (e.g. Moscow Exchange, banks offering them) submit monthly reports on transaction volumes.
What Is Unclear / Possibly Overstated
Some media describe it as a “large-scale audit of the nation's crypto holdings and transactions,” which could suggest a much broader scope. But in the more authoritative sources, it's described as a survey of regulated entities and selected financial instruments, not necessarily tracing every single crypto wallet or transaction by every individual.
It’s not yet confirmed that this will cover unregulated or underground crypto activity, or informal holdings outside of regulated financial or corporate channels.
Why It’s Being Done
To assess risks associated with crypto investments & lending for banks and financial institutions.
To inform regulatory policy, possibly tighten oversight, and improve reported data.
To understand how much exposure the economy, companies, individuals have to crypto, especially via Derivatives / digital financial assets whose value depends on crypto prices.
