What happened
Russian fintech company A7 announced plans to expand cross-border payment options for businesses trading between India and Russia. The service, launched in October 2026, allows buyers to pay overseas invoices in USDT, while suppliers can receive funds in US dollars, euros, Chinese yuan, or UAE dirhams directly into their bank accounts without using a cryptocurrency wallet. A7 is also exploring a separate payment method for national currency transfers through local partner banks.

Why it matters
A7 identified India as a priority market, noting that the volume of payments processed to India from January to August 2026 was 60% higher than the total processed during 2025. This expansion follows a payment proposal presented by Petr Fradkov to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in September.
