KYT for crypto: crypto transaction monitoring

KYT for crypto is a check of every deposit and withdrawal of digital currency within the flow of a customer's operations, not of a single address before a deal. NeuroVision assesses a transaction taking into account the customer's history and the signal for the counterparty's address, checks whether the payer and recipient data came with the transfer, which Article 7.2-1 of 115‑FZ requires from 1 September 2026, and flags mandatory monitoring transactions. Disputed transactions go to the queue of the responsible employee with a decision log.

What KYT sees in the flow of crypto transactions that a single address does not show

Crypto transaction monitoring answers not the question “is the address clean” but the question “is the customer behaving normally”. An address check before a deal is on a separate page; here it is one of the signals of every transaction.

  • Deposits and withdrawals in one feed

    Receipts from external addresses, transfers to external addresses, exchange into roubles, transfers between customers inside the platform. Each transaction comes with its time, the amount in currency and in roubles, and the counterparty's address.

  • The counterparty's address in every transaction

    The sender's or recipient's address is taken into account at the moment of each transaction, not only at the first deal. The result of the address check is a separate signal; how it is obtained is described on the address check page.

  • Customer profile

    Usual amounts, frequency and range of addresses. A transfer ten times larger than usual or a first withdrawal to a new address is a signal even if the recipient has no flags.

  • Links between customers

    One external address tops up the accounts of different customers, or several customers withdraw to one address. A single address does not show this — only the flow of all the platform's transactions does.

  • Payer and recipient data

    Whether the full name and identifier address came with the transfer, and for amounts over RUB 60,000 the address, date of birth and INN; whether the payer's data match the results of their identification. In detail — in the next section.

  • Mandatory monitoring flag

    Purchase and sale of cryptocurrency and movements between the depository's addresses and external addresses from RUB 1 million receive a flag and a reporting deadline — three business days. Which transactions fall into this list — below.

Sender and recipient data: Article 7.2-1 of 115‑FZ for digital currency transfers

Federal Law of 4 August 2026 No. 283‑FZ added Article 7.2-1 to 115‑FZ: from 1 September 2026 a transfer of digital currency and digital rights goes together with information about the payer and the recipient. In international practice the same requirement is called the Travel Rule — what it is under FATF standards is explained in the article on KYT and the Travel Rule. In monitoring, each row below is a separate transaction check.

  • Individual payer
    Full name, account number or identifier address, residential or temporary address, date of birth, INN if available
    Part 1, Art. 7.2-1
  • Legal entity payer
    Name, account or identifier address, address, INN
    Part 1, Art. 7.2-1
  • Recipient
    Full name or name, account or identifier address, country and city
    Part 1, Art. 7.2-1

  • Short set
    Full name or name and account or identifier address of the payer and recipient; address and INN are not required
    Part 2, Art. 7.2-1
  • If there is suspicion — the full set
    If there is suspicion of money laundering or terrorist financing, the data are collected in full for any amount
    Part 3, Art. 7.2-1

  • Depository and information system operator
    They ensure that the information is present, complete and passed on at all stages of the transfer
    Part 1, Art. 7.2-1
  • Broker
    If the order is submitted through a broker — the same duties and rights
    Part 11, Art. 7.2-1
  • Match with identification
    The payer's data must match the results of identification; anything missing can be added from them and from lawful sources
    Parts 4, 7, Art. 7.2-1

  • Payer side
    The depository refuses to execute the order, the information system operator blocks disposal of the digital rights
    Part 5, Art. 7.2-1
  • Recipient side
    Identifies transfers without the required information and may refuse them or not credit them until full data are received
    Parts 8–10, Art. 7.2-1
  • Netting
    The article does not apply to set-off under agreements between depositories or operators
    Part 12, Art. 7.2-1
  • The requirements are given per the text of the article as of 26 October 2026, wording abridged. The term “Travel Rule” is not used in the law.

Mandatory monitoring of crypto transactions after 283‑FZ: six cases

  • Purchase and sale of cryptocurrency

    Exchange of digital currency for roubles and back, except for deals where a central counterparty is a party (subpara. 8, para. 1, Art. 6). Threshold — RUB 1 million.

  • Placement and redemption of digital rights

    Acquisition of digital rights on issue and their redemption (subpara. 9). More about CFA operators — on the page for CFA platforms.

  • Receipt from an external address

    Digital currency or rights arrive at an address administered by a digital depository from an address it does not administer (subpara. 10).

  • Withdrawal to an external address

    The reverse movement: from the depository's address to an address outside its administration (subpara. 11). This is where the trail of funds most often breaks.

  • Addresses of countries outside FATF

    Transactions with persons, accounts and addresses linked to states that do not comply with the FATF recommendations; the list is determined by the Government (subpara. 2, para. 1, Art. 6).

  • Settlements under foreign trade contracts

    Digital currency or rights as payment under a contract between a resident and a non-resident — from RUB 10 million (para. 1.12, Art. 6).

From 1 September 2026 Article 6 of 115‑FZ explicitly names transactions with digital currency and digital rights. Information about them is sent to Rosfinmonitoring no later than three business days after the transaction (para. 3, Art. 7). Monitoring sets the flag automatically — the employee sees the deadline and the grounds.

Mandatory monitoring is not the same as suspicion: a transaction can be legitimate and still subject to reporting. Suspicious transactions are identified under internal control rules at any amount.

The path of a crypto transaction through KYT: from the network event to the decision

Five steps for every deposit and withdrawal. For a withdrawal the check runs before the order is executed, for a deposit — before crediting to the customer's account.

Step 1

Transaction event

Your system sends the transaction: customer, token, amount, counterparty address, and the payer and recipient information if it came with the transfer. The rouble equivalent is calculated at the time of the transaction.

An incoming transaction received in monitoring
Step 2

Transfer data

The set of information is checked for the amount: up to RUB 60,000 or over, and whether the payer's data match the customer's profile form. No data — an “incomplete information” flag and an action from your rules.

Payer data check for a transfer over RUB 60,000
Step 3

Address and flow

The signal for the counterparty's address is taken into account, and the transaction is compared with the customer's profile and recent transactions: whether there is structuring, transit or addresses shared with other customers.

A series of withdrawals just below the RUB 60,000 threshold
Step 4

Risk level and flags

The result is a risk level based on the sum of the rules triggered, their list, and a mandatory monitoring flag if the transaction is on the list in Art. 6 and above the threshold.

Transaction risk level and the rules triggered
Step 5

The decision and the log

Low risk — the transaction goes through. The rest go to the responsible employee's queue: the decision, grounds and time are saved with the transaction and go into the report.

The decision on the transaction is recorded in the log

Rules, thresholds and profile: how KYT assesses a crypto transaction

The decision is visible from the reasons

For every stopped transaction you can see which rules were triggered. The employee checks the reasons rather than guessing from a single sign.

  • 01

    Rules from your documents

    Internal control rules become “if — then” conditions: amount, direction, time, counterparty country. The thresholds of RUB 60,000 and RUB 1 million come from the law; the employee adds their own rules in the back office.

  • 02

    A profile instead of general limits

    A withdrawal of RUB 300 thousand is usual for a trader and unusual for a customer who has been topping up the account with RUB 5 thousand for a year. Comparison with the customer's own history helps filter out unnecessary alerts.

  • 03

    The address is one of the inputs

    The result of the counterparty address check is one of the rule signals alongside the amount, customer profile and flow. How the address is checked — on a separate page.

  • 04

    A new rule — first in the shadows

    The rule runs in observation mode: it counts which transactions it would have stopped but does not intervene. The results show how many schemes it finds and how many honest customers it affects.

  • 60 000 ₽ threshold for the full set of data
  • RUB 1 million threshold for mandatory monitoring
  • 3 business days to report a transaction

An alert on a crypto transaction: credit, request data or refuse

data complete, risk level low

Process

The transaction looks like the customer, the payer and recipient information is in place and matches the profile form. The customer does not notice the check, and the score and time stay in the log. If the transaction is on the mandatory monitoring list — a flag and a reporting deadline.

incomplete information or medium risk level

Request and wait

An incoming transfer without payer data may be left uncredited until the sender's side sends them (parts 8–10, Art. 7.2-1). At a medium level — a request to the customer for the source of funds and a review in the queue.

high risk level, stop factors or no data on a withdrawal

Refuse and review

The depository does not execute a withdrawal order without data (part 5, Art. 7.2-1). If there are signs of laundering, the transaction may become suspicious — the information is sent to Rosfinmonitoring no later than three business days after it is identified. The decision and grounds go into the log.

Incoming deposit of RUB 48,000: payer data complete, risk level low, credited Incoming deposit of RUB 1,250,000 without the payer's address and date of birth: crediting postponed, risk level high

Withdrawal to an external address: 48 hours, the “Antifrod” state system and recipient data

From 1 September 2027 a digital depository executes a transfer of more than RUB 100 thousand to an address it does not administer, and of more than RUB 300 thousand to third parties, no earlier than after 48 hours, and before the transaction checks it against the information of the “Antifrod” state system (parts 7, 9, 11, Art. 45 of 282‑FZ). Monitoring puts such a withdrawal in a queue with a timer and during those hours finishes calculating the flow's risk. How to connect to the “Antifrod” state system

Crypto transaction monitoring for depositories, exchanges, exchange offices and banks

Article 7.2-1 is addressed to those who execute transfers, Article 6 — to all subjects of 115‑FZ through which transactions pass. The others need monitoring so as not to become a link in someone else's chain.

Frequently asked questions about KYT for crypto

This is monitoring of a customer's crypto transactions: every deposit and withdrawal of digital currency is compared with the customer's profile and history of transactions, the signal for the counterparty's address is taken into account, the payer and recipient data are checked, and disputed transactions are sent for review to the responsible employee. A general overview of KYT is in the blog article, monitoring of rouble transactions — on the page KYT.

The law does not contain the words “Travel Rule”, but from 1 September 2026 Article 7.2-1 of 115‑FZ applies: a digital depository and an information system operator ensure the transfer of information about the payer and recipient in a transfer of digital currency and digital rights. Over RUB 60,000 — the full set, up to RUB 60,000 — full name and identifier address. How the Travel Rule works under FATF standards is described in the article on KYT and the Travel Rule.

A wallet check assesses a single address before a deal. KYT looks at the flow of a customer's transactions over time and finds what a single address does not show: structuring below the threshold, transit, shared addresses across different customers. The address check result is here one of the signals for every transaction.

KYT solves the AML/CFT task: it looks for laundering and for transactions that must be reported under 115‑FZ. Fraud monitoring protects the customer's money from theft under 161‑FZ: transfers made under dictation, account takeover. More — on the page fraud monitoring.

From 1 September 2026 — purchase and sale of digital currency (except for deals with a central counterparty), acquisition of digital rights on placement and their redemption, receipt to a depository address from an external address and withdrawal to an external address (subparas. 8–11, para. 1, Art. 6 of 115‑FZ), from RUB 1 million. Separately — transactions with addresses linked to states outside the FATF recommendations, and settlements under foreign trade contracts from RUB 10 million.

The recipient's side identifies such transfers and may refuse crediting or not credit the funds until it receives full information, and then complete the transaction (parts 8–10, Art. 7.2-1). In monitoring, such a transfer receives an “incomplete information” flag and goes into the queue.

Technically yes, which is why the monitoring rules add up the customer's transfers over a time window and flag series of amounts just below the threshold. In addition, where money laundering is suspected, the full set of data is collected for any amount (part 3, Art. 7.2-1).

We agree the list of networks and tokens at connection: tell us which you need, and we will explain the options and timescales.

No. Reports on mandatory monitoring and suspicious transactions are sent by your organisation through its personal account on the Rosfinmonitoring website — no later than three business days. Monitoring prepares a list of such transactions with grounds and deadlines and keeps the decision log.

Monitoring is priced by the number of transactions and the deployment option — leave a request and we will send a quote. Customer database checks — per the price matrix: RUB 5 per check, international screening — RUB 36.
