UK sanctions three crypto exchanges tied to Russian illicit funds

The UK has sanctioned three cryptocurrency exchanges and two payment processors suspected of helping Russian entities circumvent financial sanctions. Three of these service providers were linked to Kyrgyzstan. The Kremlin-backed A7 financial network claimed to have moved more than $90 billion last year, or nearly half of Russia’s annual military expenditure. The ruble-backed A7A5 stablecoin processed $110 billion in cumulative on-chain transactions up to June. The exchanges TokenSpot, Grinex and Meer received over $308 million from the same HTX deposit address.
