The State Duma adopted in the third reading a bill initiated by Anatoly Aksakov, Chairman of the Financial Market Committee, on the extension of anti-money laundering legislation to transactions with the digital ruble.

As part of the new regulation, a multi-level control model will be created, including banks and the Bank of Russia. The regulator will receive the following powers:

The right to deny users access to the digital ruble platform The ability to reject transactions upon suspicion of illegal purposes of operations.

Special attention is paid to the risk assessment system. The Bank of Russia will be required to conduct a comprehensive assessment of users upon their admission to the platform and during the maintenance process. Based on the assessment results, all users, with the exception of credit institutions, will be classified into three risk groups.

Thus, a strict system of control over operations with the digital ruble is being introduced.
