The post Russia Cuts Crypto Reporting Threshold to 60,000 Rubles, Bitcoin Flows in Focus appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News Russia is moving to force detailed reporting on crypto transfers above 60,000 rubles, roughly $780, handing its financial-intelligence agency Rosfinmonitoring sweeping visibility into digital-asset flows.

The disclosure is granular: legal or personal names of both counterparties, wallet identifiers, addresses, dates of birth and tax numbers.
