Russian Court Rejects 207,719 USDT as Loan Repayment, Upholds 27.5M Ruble Debt

  • —The 20.6 million ruble loan was issued in September 2023 for 45 days as working capital
  • —Defendants claimed 207,719 USDT in transfers between November 2023 and January 2025
  • —Court found wallet ownership and payment purpose unproven
  • —Total recovery including interest and fees is about 27.5 million rubles
Why it matters: The ruling shows Russian courts won't treat stablecoin transfers as debt repayment without a written crypto-settlement agreement and proof of the creditor's wallet, risking double payment.
