Alexander Browder, son of activist Bill Browder, was sanctioned by Russia for uncovering alleged use of the A7A5 stablecoin to evade sanctions. The stablecoin, reportedly backed by Promsvyazban, processed over $110 billion on-chain.
La Russie a interdit d'entrée et gelé les avoirs de cinq personnes, dont le journaliste Catherine Belton et l'adolescent Alexander Browder, 17 ans. Browder est accusé d'avoir diffusé de fausses informations sur l'utilisation du stablecoin A7A5 pour financer la guerre en Ukraine.
The Russian ruble-backed A7A5 stablecoin has processed over $110 billion in transactions, capturing 43% of the non-US dollar market. Despite EU sanctions, its growth highlights blockchain's role in sanctions evasion, with reserves held outside Western reach.
