Reports say Japan included Garantex in a Russia-related sanctions package announced October 2, 2026. They describe an asset freeze affecting 33 organizations and nine individuals, restrictions on payments and capital transactions with the listed parties, and separate service restrictions on 35 vessels. WuBlockchain’s report and the supplied News_crypto post give those details; Coinfomania’s article repeats the claim and cites an X post. Other posts describe the move as aligning Japan with earlier US and EU action, and some allege Garantex helped Russian entities evade financial restrictions.

The available reporting does not independently establish the official designation or verify that assets were actually frozen; it reports the sanctions measure and its stated scope.
