  1. Russia creates crypto sanctions loophole, but cash-out routes remain ringfenced

    Russia has turned crypto foreign-trade settlement into a live test of how far sanctions pressure can reach beyond…

  2. the kyrgyz (pronounced "Russian") #crypto exchange #Grinex (a successor to #Garantex, the exchange beloved by #ransomware gangs all over the world) was "hacked" and ~$15 million worth of user's crypto was "stolen"¹. they're blaming the CIA or MI6 or whatever.

    (also happens to be the exchange on which the #Rusian #ruble backed #stablecoin #A7A5 was launched last year)

    ¹ it might have actually been hacked but this is crypto so you should always assume it's an #exitscam until proven otherwise.

  4. The U.S. has renewed sanctions on Russian #crypto exchange #Garantex for processing over $100M in illicit transactions since 2019, tied to ransomware and cybercrime.

    Sanctions were also imposed on its successor, #Grinex, as well as three Garantex executives and six affiliated companies in Russia and Kyrgyzstan.

  5. Tether вступил в войну против российского крипторынка?

    Сегодня в 11:25 российская криптобиржа Garantex уведомила пользователей о блокировке кошельков и приостановлении работы (см. новость на Хабре ). Возможность вывода криптовалют заблокирована. Якобы «из-за паники и эмоций» также в официальном чате заблокирована отправка в новых сообщений , так что биржа по сути ушла в офлайн. В официальном телеграм-канале Garantex сообщается , что «Tether вступил в войну против российского крипторынка». Если это не преувеличение, то получается, что под угрозой любые активы граждан РФ и РБ, номинированные в USDT. Особенно опасно хранить средства на биржах, потому что их будут блокировать в первую очередь.

  6. @briankrebs i see Garantex (the favored #Moscow based #crypto exchange for ransomware gangs looking to cash out) and #Bitzlato (obscure exchange used by darknet market Hydra to launder money that was seized by the US govt early 2023) in the #FinCen order: fincen.gov/sites/default/files

    (unsurprising but worth noting)
