Sanctioned Russian Crypto Exchange Garantex Allegedly Rebrands as Grinex—Because Nothing Says ’Fresh Start’ Like a Name Swap
Garantex—the Moscow-based crypto exchange blacklisted by the U.S. and EU—might be attempting a regulatory escape hatch. Sources suggest it’s now operating under the name ’Grinex,’ because apparently, sanctions are just a branding problem.
Active verbs only? Here’s one: Grinex pivots while regulators scramble. The crypto world watches—some with popcorn, others with subpoenas.
Closing thought: If Wall Street can rebounce from 2008 with a fresh coat of PR, why can’t a sanctioned exchange play the same game? Just don’t call it a comeback—call it creative compliance.
