Crypto payments usually break at the accountant's desk, not at the blockchain.
No invoice match, no bank confirmation, nothing to file. A7 International showed a flow at its launch that seems designed for that desk:
• you upload the actual invoice, the system reads the details
• the recipient company's registration certificate goes through verification
• the counterparty receives a regular SWIFT transfer in the invoice currency
• you get a document confirming the payment was executed
• 0.3% fee, from one business day
The payer uses USDT. The paper trail looks like a normal international transfer.
Shor's framing: "We make complex financial operations understandable again."
If the documents hold up in a real audit, this is the interesting part. Following: A7.biz

Most B2B payment products quietly exclude you if you're not a company.
A7 International said on its launch stream that the new product is for both: companies and individuals paying abroad.
The flow is the same for either:
• register on a7.biz, upload the invoice
• system reads the amount and the bank details automatically
• recipient's registration certificate goes through verification
• confirm one USDT transaction from your wallet
• recipient gets SWIFT in USD, CNY or AED, from one business day
Fee is 0.3%, fixed. Only the payer needs a wallet; the other side never touches crypto.
Shor's point: "If your partner specifically needs to receive funds via SWIFT, now you have that option."
Opening this to individuals is the part I didn't expect. Following to see how it's used: A7.biz

2024: a cross-border payments company for one market.
2026: a launch on an open stage in Moscow, pitching a product to the whole world.
A7 International's founders used the stream to show what happened in between:
• 150+ countries connected to their payment network
• 15,000+ business clients
• 10 trillion rubles in payments last year
• 2,000+ transactions a day, half of them processed by AI
• market leader in Russian cross-border payments with a 19% share
The new product sits on top of that: pay a foreign invoice in USDT, recipient gets SWIFT in USD, CNY or AED, 0.3% fee, from one business day.
Fradkov's words: "We have outgrown this framework."
Fast growth is easy to announce and hard to sustain. Curious which way this goes: A7.biz

Trade routes are moving. Settlement rails mostly aren't.
That gap is what A7 International went after at its launch this week. The founders' thesis in one line: "The market belongs to those who come first with a working solution."
What "working" looks like in their version:
• payer settles a foreign invoice in USDT
• recipient gets SWIFT in USD, yuan or dirhams, the currencies of the new routes
• payment network across 150+ countries, no local offices
• 15,000+ businesses already using the group's rails
• 0.3% fee, from one business day
The currency choice is the tell: dollar, yuan, dirham. That's where trade is going.
Early days for the product. Watching whether the rails keep up with the routes: A7.biz

Ask anyone who sends money abroad what annoys them most. It's rarely the fee. It's the fee they didn't know about.
A7 International made a point of this at its launch: the price is known before you pay, and it doesn't change afterwards.
What they committed to on stage:
• 0.3% fee, flat, stated upfront
• no hidden extras, no "correspondent bank charges" surprise
• no unexplained freezes of funds along the way
• USDT from you, SWIFT in USD, CNY or AED to the recipient
• from one business day to delivery
Fradkov described the market's real demand as "a few clicks from a smartphone, without paperwork, hidden fees or frozen money."
Everyone promises that. Few deliver it at 2,000+ payments a day. Following to see if they do: A7.biz

Bitcoin vs US M2: since Oct, M2 keeps climbing while BTC drops. A "K" shaped divergence that's got CT worried.
Does this break the inflation-hedge thesis? No:
1. 10 months is noise on a macro timescale
2. This happened before (Dec 2017–2018: BTC crashed while M2 rose)
3. The four year cycle is also part of the story, and as the data shows, it's alive and well. Both can be true, they're not mutually exclusive
Nobody fully understands why BTC moves the way it does. That's the fun of it.

AI has elevated chips to a new level.
Will I swap crypto for it? Maybe for the likes of Litecoin, as we all know, friends don't let friends buy Litecoin.🤣
But there will still be plays for sure in the crypto space, and I'll definitely be holding on to my Bitcoin.

Not a great month for hardware wallets.
Trezor disclosed a breach at its shipping provider affecting ~13.7K recent customers. ~11.7K had full name, email, phone and shipping address exposed. Trezor systems/private keys were not compromised. The leak directly links identities and physical addresses to known crypto holders, creating significant phishing, social-engineering and potential physical-security risk.
Hardware wallets are often considered "more secure" than software wallets. While I still think that is "generally true" in a few specific aspects, this incident reinforces an advantage of software self-custody wallets (such as Binance Web3 Wallet & Trust Wallet), without purchasing and shipping a physical device that links a user's identity and address to crypto ownership.
Not saying hardware wallets are "bad". Just different risk profiles. YZiLabs is an investor in many hardware wallets.
Security, privacy and convenience comes in many different shapes. The more we can educate our communities, the better.

i would rather be an optimist and work hard than a pessimist posting about why things won't work.
it's much more difficult and the most likely path is failure, but society fails if people don't try.
no amount of "it will never work" essays will drive society forward.

i wanted to capture what it feels like to work here, what our mission means to me, and why you should join us. so i made this video with Codex, shared it with the team, and they felt it was worth producing and sharing with the world.
this is our mission. and it’s why i’m here.
