Promote with Leviathan NewsThe EU’s 21st Russia sanctions package would list 11 offshore crypto platforms and 31 Russian banks, plus 20 third-country oil traders allegedly helping Moscow route around restrictions. It also keeps the Russian oil price cap near $44 and adds 30 shadow-fleet vessels, with unanimous member-state approval still required. For crypto, the signal is clear: Brussels is widening sanctions from named Russian venues to the offshore rails that keep sanctions evasion liquid.
