Odaily Planet Daily reports that Oleg Ogienko, Head of Regulatory and Overseas Affairs at A7A5, the issuer of the ruble-pegged stablecoin, stated that the company fully complies with Kyrgyz local regulations and international anti-money laundering standards in its operations and denies any illegal activities. Despite its issuing entity and reserve bank being placed on the US Treasury Department's sanctions list, the company continues to expand its business, aiming to become a crucial settlement channel for cross-border trade. A7A5 states that its stablecoin primarily serves Asian, African, and South American companies trading with Russia, providing cross-border payment solutions where some traditional financial channels are restricted. Ogienko stated that the company has established KYC and AML mechanisms and undergoes regular audits. Data shows that A7A5's circulating supply increased by approximately $90 billion last year, exceeding the growth rate of USDT and USDC. Industry analysts believe that the demand for alternative settlements created under sanctions is a significant reason for its rapid growth. At the same time, due to US sanctions against related entities, its business still faces high compliance and geopolitical risks.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that crypto market maker Wintermute has announced the official launch of its OTC platform for tokenized gold trading services for institutional clients, supporting two gold-pegged tokens: Pax Gold (PAXG) and Tether Gold (XAUT). This marks the company's official entry into the tokenized commodities market. Wintermute stated that it will provide institutional investors with blockchain-settled gold trading exposure through algorithmically optimized spot execution services. CEO Evgeny Gaevoy predicts that with increasing institutional demand, the tokenized gold market is expected to expand to $15 billion by 2026, approximately 2.8 times its current size.

During the same period, the on-chain gold market capitalization grew by more than 80% within three months, from approximately $2.99 billion to $5.4 billion, reflecting the rising market demand for 24/7 liquidity and instant settlement.
