TRM Labs Report: Some Russian Entities Are Using Kyrgyzstan’s Cryptocurrency Industry to Evade Sanctions

PANews July 27 news, according to Decrypt, a new report from British blockchain intelligence company TRM Labs pointed out that some Russian individuals and groups are using Kyrgyzstan's cryptocurrency ecosystem to evade international sanctions. Many platforms registered in Kyrgyzstan, including Grinex and Meer, have obvious links with Russian exchanges such as Garantex, and use Russian-backed stablecoins such as A7A5 to facilitate large-scale ruble-to-cryptocurrency transactions.

The report pointed out that many Kyrgyz platforms have the same registered addresses, contact information and founders, which is a typical behavior of shell companies. Russian-related activities occupy almost the entire Kyrgyzstan crypto industry, which was "almost non-existent" a month before the Russian-Ukrainian war.

In addition, the Kyrgyz government passed a law in January 2022 to support cryptocurrencies, effectively treating cryptocurrencies as property, while also establishing a registration system for virtual asset service providers (VASPs). Combined with growing demand from Russia, the passage of this law has enabled Kyrgyzstan’s crypto industry to develop rapidly, with VASPs reaching $59 million in transactions by the end of 2022 and $4.2 billion in the first seven months of 2024 alone.

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

The post Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Google has announced the launch of a new open-source protocol called Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) in partnership with Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation, and 60 other organizations. This allows AI agents to make payments on behalf of users using various methods such as real-time bank transfers, credit and debit cards, and, most importantly, stablecoins. Let’s explore in detail what this could mean for the broader cryptocurrency markets, and also highlight a presale crypto (Best Wallet Token) that could explode as a result of this development. Google’s Push for Stablecoins Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) uses digital contracts known as ‘Intent Mandates’ and ‘Verifiable Credentials’ to ensure that AI agents undertake only those payments authorized by the user. Mandates, by the way, are cryptographically signed, tamper-proof digital contracts that act as verifiable proof of a user’s instruction. For example, let’s say you instruct an AI agent to never spend more than $200 in a single transaction. This instruction is written into an Intent Mandate, which serves as a digital contract. Now, whenever the AI agent tries to make a payment, it must present this mandate as proof of authorization, which will then be verified via the AP2 protocol. Alongside this, Google has also launched the A2A x402 extension to accelerate support for the Web3 ecosystem. This production-ready solution enables agent-based crypto payments and will help reshape the growth of cryptocurrency integration within the AP2 protocol. Google’s inclusion of stablecoins in AP2 is a massive vote of confidence in dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies and a huge step toward making them a mainstream payment option. This widens stablecoin usage beyond trading and speculation, positioning them at the center of the consumption economy. The recent enactment of the GENIUS Act in the U.S. gives stablecoins more structure and legal support. Imagine paying for things like data crawls, per-task…
