BlockBeats report, July 24: The European Union (EU) has expanded its sanctions against Russia, targeting the A7 cross-border payment network and its newly established African affiliate, as well as the A7A5 stablecoin used to circumvent sanctions.
The latest sanctions expand the trading ban to 14 crypto-related platforms in Georgia, the UAE, Panama, and other countries, and introduce a tool that can be used to fully prohibit crypto asset services used in Russia.
In addition to measures targeting digital assets, the EU has imposed asset freezes and transaction bans on 94 banks and major financial institutions, and extended the transaction bans to an additional 33 Russian credit and financial institutions.
