The post Russia’s A7A5 stablecoin claims it can thrive post-sanctions, and the numbers are hard to ignore appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A stablecoin most people have never heard of has quietly become one of the largest non-dollar stablecoins on the planet. A7A5, a ruble-pegged token issued by a Kyrgyz company called Old Vector, has processed between $70 billion and $100 billion in on-chain transaction volume since launching in January 2025. A7A5 is backed by ruble deposits held at Promsvyazbank, a Russian bank that has been under Western sanctions for years. The token is issued by Old Vector, which operates under Kyrgyzstan’s digital asset regulatory framework, giving it a jurisdictional home that sits outside the direct reach of US and EU enforcement. The token primarily runs on Tron and Ethereum. Its circulating market cap sits above $500 million, making it the 21st-largest stablecoin globally. A7A5 accounts for approximately 15% of Russia’s cross-border monetary transactions.

A7A5's success suggests sanctioned economies might adopt similar stablecoin models to bypass international financial restrictions. The post Russia’s A7A5 stablecoin claims it can thrive post-sanctions, and the numbers are hard to ignore appeared first on Crypto Briefing.
