The U.S. Department of Treasury has <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy2204" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">sanctioned</a> thirteen firms and two individuals in a fresh round of scrutiny. The sanctioned parties allegedly developed or offered virtual asset services linked to Russia, circumventing bans on such activities.
In a recent statement, Brian E. Nelson, the Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, noted that Russia is increasingly turning to alternative payment mechanisms to circumvent U.S. sanctions. Nelson affirmed that the Treasury will continue to expose and disrupt the companies that seek to help sanctioned Russian financial institutions reconnect to the global financial system.&nbsp;
The sanctioned companies include Moscow-based fintechs B-Crypto, Masterchain, Atomaiz, Veb3 Tekhnologii, and Veb3 Integrator, and Cyprus-based Tokentrust, a majority-owner of Atomaiz.
