UK Announces New Round of Russia Sanctions, Targeting Crypto Platforms Over Sanctions Evasion The UK has unveiled a new round of sanctions on Russia, with 38 designations targeting three cryptocurrency trading platforms, two payment platforms, one associated individual, and a Moscow-based bank, on suspicion of helping Russia evade financial sanctions. Cryptomus and Heleket are listed as aliases of the same entity, Xeltox Enterprises Ltd (also known as Certa Payments Ltd, registered in Canada); TokenSpot CJSC is registered in Kyrgyzstan. The same sanction batch also includes Kyrgyz payment platform Tsunami Payments LLC. On-chain analytics firm TRM Labs said TokenSpot has transferred over $950 million total to sanctioned platforms Grinex, Garantex, and the Kremlin-backed A7 network. TRM assessed in April that Cryptomus and Heleket have operational links, adding Heleket is likely a parallel service launched by Cryptomus to continue processing large-scale funds. On October 6, TRM further determined TokenSpot shares wallet infrastructure with Grinex, operating under the same activity set. TRM’s April data also shows that in on-chain transactions between Cryptomus and Garantex, Cryptomus received over $204 million and sent out $101 million.

Pyth DAO has announced the passage of proposal OP-PIP-136, committing to allocate 100% of funds received from its Pyth products to purchasing PYTH tokens for its reserves, covering Pyth Pro subscriptions, Listing as a Service, the Data Marketplace, and Pyth Indices. Previously, reserves had conducted monthly open-market purchases since December 2025, using one-third of the DAO’s non-PYTH balance per transaction and requiring separate votes for each purchase. The new policy replaces this with a one-time long-term authorization, and existing non-PYTH assets will also be included in the same purchase path. The first batch of purchases under the new rule was executed on September 30, with the DAO’s current PYTH reserve holdings standing at approximately 42 million tokens.
