Grinex توقف العمليات أو يضرب النظام المالي الظل الروسي الذي يتجنب العقوبات

Deep Tide TechFlow News, April 20, according to DL News, the Russian cryptocurrency exchange Grinex announced last Wednesday that it has ceased operations, citing a cyberattack, with over 1 billion rubles stolen from the platform, approximately 13 million US dollars.

The report states that Grinex handled nearly 100 billion US dollars in transactions for the sanctioned stablecoin A7A5 in 2025. Its suspension is believed to weaken Russian companies’ channels for converting rubles into usable international currencies and deal a serious blow to its shadow financial system that evades sanctions. Grinex is considered the successor to Garantex, which had previously been sanctioned and shut down, and it was sanctioned by the United States, Europe, and the United Kingdom in August 2025 alongside the issuer of A7A5, Old Vector.
