A recent crypto market update reveals that Russia’s FSB plans to expand SORM surveillance to crypto exchanges and gaming platforms. FSB official Alexander Samoylov confirmed the move at the KROS conference, stating that real-time data sharing will be mandatory. According to Samoylov, the implementation rate of the Yarovaya Law remains at 80%. A security breach investigation by The Bell showed that the FSB has intensified SORM checks following the Crocus City Hall attack.

Huo Xing Finance reports, according to The Bell, Alexander Samoilov, an official from the FSB’s 12th Center, disclosed at the KROS Network Technologies Annual Conference in Sochi in May 2026 that the FSB plans to extend SORM (System for Operative-Investigative Measures) installation requirements to cryptocurrency exchanges and gaming platforms, mandating real-time sharing of user data with security agencies. Notably, Samoilov acknowledged that the Yarovaya Law, enacted in 2016, has now been in effect for 10 years, yet compliance with its provisions remains at approximately 80%—a figure market participants consider overly optimistic. According to The Bell’s investigation, following the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack, the FSB’s Second Directorate leveraged a large-scale audit of the SORM system to further strengthen its control over Russia’s internet infrastructure.
