Besant’s G20 Ultimatum Under the Radar: “If you want to use the US dollar system, you must comply with sanctions on Iran”!
Dollar weaponization pushed to the extreme—crypto has become the only escape door. At the G20 finance ministers’ meeting, tensions were high: Besant declared that any country seeking to do business within the Western financial system built on the dollar must comply with the United States’ sanctions against Iran—this is not a suggestion, it’s an ultimatum.
The tougher “starter” came before the meeting: the US, citing alleged “ties to Iran,” imposed restrictions on an Egyptian bank’s branch in the UAE. It was clearly meant to make an example—warning all attending countries that “secondary sanctions” are real.
To read this logic: the dollar has moved from “reserve currency” to “political weapon.” If you don’t follow orders, your money will be frozen and your settlement channels will be cut off.
Each escalation of these threats is a public execution of the “security of the dollar system”—and global capital instinctively looks for refuge outside the system: Bitcoin’s uncensorability, stablecoins’ near-instant cross-border transfers, and central bank digital currencies’ autonomous settlement—all have become “de-dollarization” back-up options.
Iran, Russia, and sanctioned countries’ funds are already “voting with their feet.” This time, it’s the middle and small countries worldwide that must take serious stock.
Operational hint: with every further step in expanding secondary sanctions, Bitcoin’s “out-of-system pricing power” grows stronger by another notch. The harder the long-term logic, the more boldly you need to hold fast when panic is in the air—history has shown that the periods when the dollar was most heavily weaponized are precisely the windows when Bitcoin makes the leap from a “speculative asset” to a “reserve asset.” #ARB上涨30%受Robinhood链收入推动 #STRC优先股回购达6.35亿美元 #日本10年期国债收益率首触3%
