The ruble-pegged stablecoin A7A5, launched by Russian payments firm A7 LLC, has processed over $100 billion in transactions since its inception in January 2025. The asset serves as a key tool for sanction evasion, backed 1:1 by ruble deposits at Promsvyazbank and primarily operates on Ethereum and TRON blockchains. Despite heavy Western sanctions causing a stall in demand, A7A5 maintains significant transaction volumes and growing user adoption.
