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.

The U.S. dollar's dominance is threatened as digital currencies' security and data integrity become key factors in the global monetary system, challenging America's economic privilege. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/08/20/world/currencies-in-the-digital-age/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #usdollar #currencies #crytocurrencies #bitcoin #stablecoin #blockchains

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...

@pluralistic
@Zitron

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: — 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.

the trump and witkoff families' #stablecoin #USD1 has existed for like 4 weeks and it's already seeing more reported trading volume than the coinbase aligned Circle's stablecoin #USDC, which i'm sure is because of entirely legitimate financial activity and not because chinese crypto exchanges like #Binance and #OKX are wash trading and/or reporting fake volumes

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”).
