A7A5 is a ruble-backed stablecoin now targeted by proposed EU sanctions that would bar EU persons and entities from transacting with the token, aiming to curb Russian-linked crypto flows. The move follows prior UK and US restrictions and targets banks and infrastructure tied to the token.

• EU may ban EU-based dealings with A7A5

• Proposal also targets banks in Russia, Belarus and Central Asia accused of facilitating crypto transactions.

What are the proposed A7A5 sanctions?

A7A5 sanctions would forbid EU-based individuals and organisations from directly or indirectly transacting with the ruble-backed token. The proposal also flags several regional banks for allegedly facilitating crypto flows tied to sanctioned entities, seeking to close channels used to bypass existing restrictions.

How did A7A5’s market cap react to earlier sanctions?

A week after EU crypto platform sanctions were announced on Sept. 19, A7A5’s market capitalization jumped from about $140 million to over $491 million on Sept. 26, a one‑day increase near 250%, according to CoinMarketCap data. The market cap has since stabilized near $500 million, roughly 43% of the $1.2 billion total for non‑USD stablecoins.

Why is the EU targeting banks in Russia, Belarus and Central Asia?

The EU proposal names banks it says enabled crypto-related transactions for sanctioned parties. Targeting intermediaries is intended to cut off on‑ramps and correspondent channels used to move value across borders, complementing earlier restrictions imposed by the UK and the US.

Who created A7A5 and what infrastructure supports it?

A7A5 launched in February on Ethereum and Tron and is associated with Moldovan banker Ilan Shor and the Russian state-owned lender Promsvyazbank. The token was promoted as being backed by fiat deposits held in banks within Kyrgyzstan’s network; exchanges and infrastructure in Kyrgyzstan have been previously blacklisted in related measures.
