Sberbank, Russia's largest bank, has been included in the custodian list alongside Atomyze, Voltari, and Cloud Infrastructure. Sberbank stated that it has applied for digital asset custodian status and plans to launch its first crypto products on December 1 through the SberBank Online, SberInvestments, and SberBusiness platforms, initially supporting Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), and USDt (USDT).
T-Invest Lab, Zefir, and Sistema-Crypto were included in the exchange operator list, while VTB Bank appears on both lists.

Odaily reports: The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), in a filing submitted on Monday, cited the appellate ruling in the case of Roman Sterlingov, the operator of cryptocurrency mixer Bitcoin Fog, as supplementary grounds for opposing Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm's acquittal motion.
U.S. prosecutors stated that the ruling supports their position that the Southern District of New York is the proper venue for the trial. Prosecutors argued that Shakeeb Ahmed used Tornado Cash in a Manhattan apartment, and that this activity is sufficient to establish venue for the money laundering and unlicensed money transmission conspiracy charges against Roman Storm.
Judge Katherine Polk Failla heard arguments on Roman Storm's acquittal motion in April 2026 but has not yet issued a ruling. A jury in August 2025 convicted him of conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business, but failed to reach a unanimous verdict on the money laundering and sanctions conspiracy charges, with a retrial tentatively scheduled for April 26, 2027.

Odaily News: Lily Liu, Chair of the Solana Foundation, stated at the Token 2049 event in Singapore that the crypto market recovery trend is expected to continue over the next 12 months, despite AI drawing more investor attention and capital. She believes that the core of tokenization is not about competing with traditional retail trading platforms, but rather about leveraging blockchain to expand global investors' access to U.S. assets. Currently, about 160 countries worldwide together account for only approximately 5% of global stock market capitalization, leaving room for blockchain and tokenized assets to expand into global markets.

Odaily News: On October 7, at the TOKEN2049 event in Singapore, OKX founder and CEO Star stated that AI's impact on the financial industry is not limited to the user end but is also penetrating deeply into back-office operations such as compliance and risk control. OKX has already applied AI to assist in identifying risks, supporting investigations into suspicious transactions and behavior, and providing recommendations, in order to improve processing efficiency and execution consistency. Currently, AI does not directly make compliance or risk management decisions; final decisions are still made by humans.
At the event, Andrew Cuomo, a member of the OKX board of directors and former Governor of New York, also added that clear regulatory rules are an important foundation for fintech companies to expand their services. For companies to provide financial services to a broader user base, they must comply with regulatory requirements and build public trust through compliant operations.
