force, it may seem that the financial flows of its regime are about to dry up. In reality, sanctions are not the finish line, but only the beginning of a new round of confrontation. The rouble-pegged stablecoin A7A5, which facilitated transfer of US$ 9.3 billion in Russian funds within just four months, and the transfers of 4.5 billion A7A5 tokens from wallets at Garantex to Grinex \u2013 are two vivid examples of such confrontation. In this article, the authors look at how the A7A5-Grinex scheme works, why it became possible, and what lessons can be learnt for effective sanctions control.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/astraea-group.com\/from-stablecoins-to-digital-bills-of-exchange-why-monitoring-after-sanctions-implementation-is-critically-important\/\">This article<\/a> is co-authored by Astraea\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/james-ramsden-kc-34b9a4195\/?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_detail_base%3ByAbj0kF4TjS4of2zs9s2xA%3D%3D\">James Ramsden KC<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/dr-khrystyna-khanas-5b7611106?miniProfileUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afsd_profile%3AACoAABrJgxsBwkfIsQkiWEe-xJ50hdIYEf-0oTA&amp;lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_detail_base%3ByAbj0kF4TjS4of2zs9s2xA%3D%3D\">Dr Khrystyna Khanas,<\/a> with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/dr-tatiana-dmytrenko-b06120ab\/?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_detail_base%3ByAbj0kF4TjS4of2zs9s2xA%3D%3D\">Dr Tetiana Dmytrenko<\/a> \u2013 Founder and Chair of <a href=\"https:\/\/umdigital.science\/\">NGO \u2018Ukrainian Modern Digital Science\u2019<\/a>, Chair of the Finance Committee of the Public Council of the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, a member of the Public Council under the State Financial Monitoring Service (FIU) of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>This is <a href=\"https:\/\/astraea-group.com\/russia-is-one-step-ahead-in-the-game-of-crypto-whack-a-mole\/\">the second article<\/a> on the implementation of monitoring sanctions in collaboration with blockchain analytics companies <a href=\"https:\/\/amlbot.com\/\">AMLbot<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/glprotocol.com\/.\">Global Ledger<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/crystalblockchain.com\/crystal-expert\/\">Crystal Intelligence<\/a> \u2013 UMDS partners.
