Japan just slapped sanctions on $Garantex — the Russian crypto exchange already blacklisted by the US & EU for helping Russian entities dodge financial restrictions.
33 orgs + 9 individuals added to Japan's asset-freeze list. No payments, no capital flows.
This is part of Japan's expanded sanctions over the Ukraine war. Garantex's been on the radar for a while — basically accused of being a sanction evasion tool.
If you're still using sketchy CEXs in 2025, this is your wake-up call. Compliance walls are closing in globally.
