Compared to the same period last year, the number of identified financial pyramids and other illegal entities has increased by 20%.

More than 88% of the identified financial pyramids and illegal brokers offered people investments in pseudo-investment schemes. In total, in the first half of 2025, the Bank of Russia recorded 2.3 thousand pyramid Internet projects.

"The number of pyramids has increased by 1.4 times compared to the same period last year. However, their lifespan has decreased, and the Bank of Russia identifies such projects much faster," says Ilya Kochetkov, Director of the Department of Non-Bank Lending.

The number of black lenders has decreased more than twofold – in the first half of the year, more than 460 such companies were recorded. The regulator also identified almost 1.4 thousand pseudo-brokers.
