Moldova has exposed Russia's alleged interference in its elections via cryptocurrency, involving $107 million.

CoinFeed reported on March 10th that, according to Decrypt, Moldova's National Anti-Corruption Center uncovered a crypto scheme attempting to influence the country's 2025 parliamentary elections, involving approximately $107 million. The funds were transferred through non-custodial crypto wallets and used to pay for candidate campaigning, voter bribery, and mobilizing protests. The investigation revealed that the funds originated from two centralized crypto platforms in Russia and Kyrgyzstan, and the wallets and accounts involved are subject to international sanctions. TRM Labs analysis indicates that the operation is linked to Russian-backed foreign influence operations, with transactions traceable to the Kyrgyz exchange TokenSpot, which is associated with the sanctioned Russian exchange Garantex, forming a larger ecosystem for evading Russian sanctions.
