Elliptic links crypto addresses to bad actors and Russia-based sanctioned actors
Russia seems to be in a very tough spot right now as the entire country has been under the effects of sanctions imposed by several nations around the around. Moreover, as time passes, the sanctions imposed are getting stricter and it seems that Russians are trying to use cryptocurrencies to get the job done, as per a report from Elliptic.
Report from Elliptic
The report from Elliptic, a London-based blockchain analysis provider founded in 2013, there are around 400 virtual asset service providers (VASPs), mostly exchanges, in Russia where cryptocurrencies can be purchased with Rubles, the native fiat currency of the nation. It is important to note that the report from the analytics firm tied several million crypto addresses to these exchanges most of which required no KYC or identification to use them.The report also stated that Elliptic has "directly linked more than 15 million cryptocurrency addresses to criminal activity with a nexus in Russia." This means that there is an increased number of Russians who are trying to launder their proceeds. Moreover, the report also stated that they "identified several hundred thousand crypto addresses linked to Russia-based sanctioned actors."
This goes beyond those included in sanctions lists to include other addresses that we have been able to associate with these actors through our own analysis.
Collaboration with govt agencies
Elliptic is also collaborating with government agencies to identify and investigate "crypto asset wallets believed to be linked to Russian officials and oligarchs subject to sanctions." As described in their post, the blockchain analytics firm said that "those responsible for enabling the brutal and illegal invasion of Ukraine cannot use crypto assets to hide their wealth."Just like Elliptic, Chainalysis, another blockchain analytics firm, has also brought two sanction screening tools that will be available for free. Moreover, they also launched an on-chain oracle and an API. However, the API will be coming in the next month while the oracle is already live.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
