日立製作所は10月5日、暗号資産やステーブルコインの取引を対象にマネー・ローンダリングのリスクを監視するサービス「Digital Asset AML Platform」の提供を10月1日から開始したと発表した。金融機関や暗号資産関連事業者などの利用を想定する。日立は7月、金融機関や暗号資産関連事業者など17社との実証結果を公表するとともに、同サービスを10月から提供する方針を発表していた。新サービスでは、犯罪や制裁対象との関連が疑われる情報などにAI・機械学習による分析を組み合わせ、不審な取引の兆候を確認する。取引前に相手先のウォレットを評価するほか、取引後に新たなリスクが判明していないか継続的に監視し、ステーブルコインなどの発行後の流通状況も確認できるという。暗号資産は複数のウォレットや取引所をまたいで送金できるため、1社が持つ情報だけでは不審な資金移動を把握しにくいケースがあり、新サービスでは各事業者が把握したリスク情報も活用し、個社だけでは見つけにくい兆候の検知につなげる。

日本政府は10月2日、ロシア系暗号資産取引所Garantexを、ウクライナ情勢を巡る資産凍結等の措置の対象に追加した。外務省が同日発表した。外務省が公表した対象者一覧には、運営法人「Garantex Europe OU」がロシア関係33団体の一つとして掲載されている。今回の指定により、日本ではGarantexなど制裁対象者への支払いなどが原則として許可制となる。暗号資産の移転も外為法の規制対象に含まれており、国内の暗号資産交換業者には、制裁対象者に関係する移転ではないことを事前に確認する義務が課されている。Garantexは2019年に設立された暗号資産取引所で、主にモスクワやサンクトペテルブルクで事業を展開してきた。米財務省外国資産管理室は2022年4月、Garantexで確認された取引のうち1億ドル超が違法行為の関係者やダークネット市場に関連していたとして、同取引所を制裁対象に指定した。日本政府は今回の措置について、ウクライナ情勢を踏まえ、主要国による対応と足並みをそろえて国際的な取り組みに寄与するためとしている。
