According to CoinMeta, the Japanese government has added the Russian cryptocurrency exchange Garantex to the asset freeze list, restricting payments and capital transactions with sanctioned entities. This new addition to the freeze list includes 33 institutions associated with Russia and 9 individuals, and also imposes restrictions on services such as maintenance and insurance for 35 vessels in a shadow fleet identified as participating in the transportation of Russian crude oil. Garantex has already been sanctioned by judicial authorities in the United States, the European Union, and other regions.
