Moscow’s CIFCOM26 will put legal crypto markets, AML/KYC, and cross-border payments on the table on November 12, 2026

In Moscow, CIFCOM26 is set to bring together crypto players, government officials, and the financial sector to talk about how legal crypto markets work when compliance gets tighter. For PSPs, banks, and fintechs serving high-risk merchants, the useful part is not the conference branding; it is the mix of topics: AML/KYC, asset freezes, legal risk, and payment options for international trade.

1. According to the agenda, the discussion will focus on regulation of cryptocurrencies and digital financial assets (CFAs), AML/KYC, asset blocks, and legal risks. The event will also look at how banks, payment services, fintech companies, and crypto businesses are operating under changing rules, including for companies involved in international trade.
2. Among the announced speakers are Ivan Chebeskov, Deputy Minister of Finance of Russia; Artem Sheikin, First Deputy Chair of the профильный committee of the Federation Council; Dmitry Aksakov, Executive Director of VEB.RF; Angelina Akimenko, Managing Director of the Russian Export Center; Sergey Khitrov, founder of Blockchain Life Forum; Andrey Tugarin, founder of GMT Legal; Igor Egorkin, CEO of Tokeon; and Artem Kalikhov, CEO of Web3 Tech.
3. The organizers expect more than 600 participants and more than 30 speakers from Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus, Uzbekistan, China, and other countries. The attendee mix includes government and supervisory authorities, banks and financial institutions, payment services, fintech companies, crypto businesses, consulting and auditing firms, as well as importers and exporters.
4. The event will take place on November 12, 2026 at Cyberdom in Moscow, at 2-ya Zvenigorodskaya St. 12, bldg. 18. Tickets and details are listed on the official website at conf.cifkom.ru, and buyers can get a 10% discount with the promo code BITSMEDIA.
