Ukrainian drone attacks on Yandex data centers in Russia have caused a collapse in transactions involving A7A5, a Russian ruble-pegged stablecoin designed to evade Western sanctions. Following the strikes, A7A5 users reported suspended services, unpaid interest, and difficulties redeeming promissory notes. The stablecoin's trading volume has plummeted from around 600 transfers per day to fewer than 20, despite a market cap of over $450 million. The disruption highlights the impact of "kinetic sanctions" on Russia's digital financial infrastructure and raises questions about the future viability of sanctioned crypto assets.
