#TheCryptocalypseChronicles: Iran vs. Israel... On the Blockchain

The cease fire between Israel and Iran does not appear to apply to cyber warfare. #Tether and other #stablecoin companies have been seizing a lot of Iranians' assets.

NYT article about Changpeng Zhao’s quest for a presidential pardon. Worth remembering that Trump’s World Liberty Financial has already launched its #stablecoin#USD1 mostly on the Binance blockchain (BNB) and USD1’s usage in decentralized finance is 99% happening on Binance fake decentralized exchanges (PancakeSwap).

#TheCryptocalypseChronicles: Epstein's Arrest Shook The Blockchain

Jeffrey Epstein's arrest seems to have set off a wave of suspicious crypto payments that have heretofore gone unexamined.

1. The 2nd highest volume day in bitcoin history came a week after Epstein died.

2. #Stablecoin transfer volumes doubled less than 48 hours after Epstein was arrested. In particular #Tether, the stablecoin whose money is managed by Epstein's next door neighbor and #Trump's current Secretary of Commerce, saw on chain volumes skyrocket.

Also there's the matter of a bunch of suspicious deaths among Epstein's crypto circle.

Always insightful Cory Doctorow on #Stablecoin and #AI bubbles, in his new blog: pluralistic.net/2025/07/26/m...

A technology regulated by the US government and heavily manipulated by the US president is the polar opposite of the libertarian rhetoric in Satoshi's original bitcoin white paper, which bitcoin bros cite as gospel when explaining how they're doing something truly different this time. Pettifor says that crypto is different from Beanie Babies and other bubbles — because this time, the president is in on the scam. Speaking of the crypto bubble, one striking feature of this bubble is how many of its key players are also involved in pumping up the AI bubble. The AI bubble is a different kind of sleaze from the crypto bubble, but it's every bit as sleazy. Ever since Openai and Trump's splashy announcement of the $500b "Stargate" plan to build AI data-centers, Ed Zitron, one of the great tech debullshitifiers, has been taking pointed notice of just how vaporous this plan is. In his latest investigation, Zitron shows how the supine tech press has played credulous stenographer to Sam Altman and Softbank in helping to sell a clearly bogus claim about Softbank's investment in Stargate:

China is preparing to counter the threat of U.S.-backed digital dollars by leveraging its powerful e-commerce firms and Hong Kong’s crypto-friendly financial system to promote stablecoins tied to local currencies. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/06/30/world/china-ready-for-us-stablecoins/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #china #hongkong #stablecoin #crypto #blockchain #ecommerce #libra #digitaldollars #cryptocurrencies

whenever the price of #bitcoin starts to drop because of global instability (or any other reason) “investors” immediately decide to send billions of dollars to #Tether, a financial company that more or less openly works with #Iran, has almost no employees, has been linked to hundreds of financial crimes, and has never produced an audit to prove it actually has all the money it says it does to back its #stablecoin#USDT. it's like clockwork.

today’s crash saw an immediate creation of $2 billion USDT, 100% of it on Donald Trump’s new business partner Justin Sun’s blockchain Tron (AKA “the crime chain”).
