A report cited data from a crypto-funding tracking company saying that sanctioned entities processed about $100 billion in cryptocurrency assets in 2025. Sanctioned targets such as Iran, Russia, and North Korea are building their own tokens, exchanges, and payment channels.
Traditional international payments rely on banks, and banks conduct sanctions screening. Crypto transactions can bypass that layer of review. The report said the funds were used to buy drones, weapon components, fuel, and to pay the personnel responsible for transporting sanctioned crude oil. #制裁 $BNB

The U.S. Congress is advancing the Clarity Act targeting digital assets. The bill aims to establish a regulatory framework for crypto assets, but the ethical provisions have become a point of contention.
Trump received about $1.4 billion in revenue from memecoins and other crypto businesses. Opponents are calling for the bill to ban government officials from profiting from digital assets.
Supporters want to first address who regulates digital assets and how they are traded and held in custody. Opponents argue that if conflicts of interest involving officials are not dealt with first, the regulatory framework itself is flawed.#美国国会再推加密免税研究法案 $NVDAB
Trump’s latest financial disclosures show that last year he earned more than $1 billion in revenue from his crypto business. This includes both paper wealth formed by token price increases and actual income that has already entered personal or corporate accounts.
In the first year of his second term, the Trump family expanded its crypto business. Revenue came from token sales, project equity, and other transactions. Crypto assets, once tied to affiliated projects of a political brand, became part of the family’s income.#特朗普接受比特币和加密货币作为总统竞选捐赠渠道 $TRUMP
The head of the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Jonathan Gould, has allowed crypto companies such as Ripple and Crypto.com to apply for banking charters—and welcomes payment technology firms to enter as well.
Gould’s view is that the banking industry needs to embrace digital assets and payment innovation, otherwise it will lose related business.
The opposition from traditional banks is not to the technology itself, but to whether regulation is applied on an equivalent basis. They believe crypto and payment companies may gain banking status and become direct competitors, yet may not necessarily bear the same capital, compliance, and regulatory costs.$BNB #加密初创上半年融资112亿美元
World Liberty Financial’s trust company has received the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s preliminary conditional approval, allowing it to continue applying to become a nationwide trust bank.
However, this is not yet a complete commercial banking license. Trust banks typically do not accept deposits or make loans. World Liberty must meet regulatory requirements and pass a final inspection before it can officially begin operations.
If it receives final approval, the company will be able to issue, redeem, and custody USD1. This stablecoin is currently custodied by BitGo’s reserve, with a market cap of approximately $4 billion. $WLFI
Starting from the IPO price of #SpaceX股价涨至140美元 , it’s not strange for SpaceX to grow to 10–15 times within 10–15 years—just as long as Elon doesn’t pull any stunt for attention. From what we can see right now, it’s still okay.
In an interview where SpaceX’s COO was speaking, they mentioned that many employees—even those over the age of 60—are still contributing their strength to SpaceX. They’re already financially free. What they pursue isn’t just a string of numbers, but the value of the future of all humankind!
