Russian banks have started blocking transfers related to cross-border arbitrage involving Tether (USDT), where crypto bought abroad is converted into cash in Russia. This move targets a practice that exploits exchange rate differences between cash and bank transfers, seen by the Bank of Russia as a potential money laundering risk. The blocks focus on money moving into this trade and are separate from upcoming rules that will require all individual crypto trades to go through regulated providers starting July 1, 2027.
