A7 Network is a Russia-linked cross-border payment and cryptocurrency facilitation network designated by the United States as a significant transnational criminal organization. It comprises A7-associated companies, payment intermediaries, and sub-agents that have supported Russian sanctions-evasion activity and facilitated Iranian sanctions evasion. The network has used foreign payment intermediaries, invoice-paying entities, and non-Russian bank accounts to process transactions and obscure the involvement of sanctioned customers. Its identified sub-agents processed more than $17 billion in dollar-denominated transactions between January 2025 and June 2026. A7 is associated with A7A5, a ruble-backed digital token issued by sanctioned Old Vector LLC and used as an internal accounting and settlement mechanism alongside foreign-fiat payments. A7A5 has operated on the Tron and Ethereum blockchains and can be exchanged through other digital assets and fiat settlement routes. The network includes A7-linked entities operating outside Russia, including in Africa, and has been subject to U.S., UK, and EU sanctions measures. A7’s activity has been linked to financial infrastructure that absorbed activity displaced following the 2025 disruption of the Garantex exchange.
