Russian FSB official Alexander Samoylov announced at the 2026 KROS Network Technologies Conference that crypto exchanges and gaming platforms may soon be required to implement the SORM monitoring system. The move follows recent SEC announcements on enhanced oversight of digital assets. Samoylov noted that the implementation rate of the Yarovaya Law is approximately 80%. The Bell reported increased SORM inspections following the Crocus City Hall attack. Inflation data remains a secondary concern for regulators, who are prioritizing surveillance and data control.

According to The Bell, Alexander Samoilov, an official from the Federal Security Service (FSB) of the Russian Federation, disclosed at the KROS Network Technologies Annual Conference in Sochi in May 2026 that the FSB plans to mandate cryptocurrency exchanges and gaming platforms to install the SORM system to enable real-time sharing of user data. Alexander Samoilov acknowledged that, since its passage in 2016, the Yarovaya Law has been implemented at approximately 80%. According to The Bell’s investigation, following the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack, the FSB’s Second Directorate strengthened its control over the Russian internet through enhanced monitoring via the SORM system.
