Noble Capital RSD LLC has filed a lawsuit in the US District Court for the District of Columbia against the Russian Federation, the Russian Ministry of Finance, the Bank of Russia, and the Russian National Wealth Fund, demanding recognition of obligations on sovereign bonds of the Russian Empire placed with investors in the US and recovery of at least $225.8 billion from the defendants. The court documents are available here: https://ia800707.us.archive.org/35/items/gov.uscourts.dcd.281398/gov.uscourts.dcd.281398.1.0.pdf
According to the text of the complaint, the plaintiff is asking the court to issue a declaratory judgment on the principal debt and interest (adjusted for gold), as well as to recognize the possibility of “setting off” of this amount against “blocked sovereign assets of the Russian Federation” in accounts at financial institutions where such assets may be located. Claims for interim measures have also been filed – a ban on the transfer or “mobilization” of blocked assets and the appointment of an equitable receiver for the purposes of recovery.
The case materials indicate that the defendants were notified of the lawsuit on October 1, 2025, and the court granted the Russian side an extension to respond to the lawsuit until January 29, 2026.
This approach (set-off through a private law dispute) can be seen as an attempt to shift the discussion of frozen assets from the realm of political confiscation to the realm of civil law mechanisms.
After February 24, 2022, some countries froze significant amounts of Russian sovereign assets. The European Union froze €210 billion, with Euroclear holding approximately €193 billion of these funds.

Indonesia’s Finance Ministry is considering issuing its first yuan-denominated government bonds (panda bonds) in 2026, the Financial Times reported, citing two sources.
The interest in panda bonds comes as Beijing promotes the use of its currency in international trade and finance to increase global influence and reduce dependence on the U.S. dollar.

“From the perspective of international issuers, it provides more opportunities, broadens the investor base in the long term and helps lower the cost of financing for the country,” said OCBC Asia macroeconomic research head Tommy Xie. – “People want to move away from the dollar and look at other markets.
Panda bonds have become increasingly popular since 2023, thanks to Beijing’s regulatory reforms and lower financing costs. In 2024, panda bond issuance reached a record 195 billion yuan ($27 billion), according to Wind. However, it still represents only a fraction of China’s debt market.

Analysts also forecast the issuance of “dim sum” (bonds denominated in yuan but issued outside mainland China, mainly in Hong Kong) to rise to a record this year. Specifically, Indonesia issued its first such bonds worth 6 billion yuan in October and plans to continue issuing “dim sum” next year, sources told the FT.
