Russian Arms Giant Joins Crypto Arms Race—Tron-Based Stablecoin Incoming
Russian Arms Giant Joins Crypto Arms Race—Tron-Based Stablecoin Incoming
7

Kalashnikov’s crypto pivot? Defense contractor Rostec—parent of the AK-47 maker—is plotting a Tron-powered stablecoin, swapping bullets for blockchain.
Why Tron? Speed and cost. The network’s 2-second finality and near-zero fees beat Ethereum for dodging sanctions—err, ‘streamlining global arms trade settlements.’
Defense meets DeFi. The move mirrors Iran’s crypto-for-oil playbook, blending geopolitical maneuvering with Web3 buzzword bingo. ‘Compliance’? That’s what offshore shells are for.
Bonus jab: Because nothing says ‘stable store of value’ like a coin backed by an industry that literally manufactures volatility.
