New Crypto Rules: Closing Sanctions Loopholes for Russia

This act aims to prevent the circumvention of sanctions against Russia through cryptocurrency transactions. It introduces new obligations for digital asset businesses and for U.S. citizens holding cryptocurrencies abroad. The goal is to increase transparency and control over digital asset flows.
Key points
Cryptocurrency businesses cannot provide services to Russia-linked individuals subject to sanctions.
U.S. citizens holding over $10,000 in cryptocurrency outside the U.S. must report these holdings.
Banks and money service businesses will need to verify customer identities for transactions involving unhosted crypto wallets.
