Chamath Palihapitiya, CEO of Social Capital, predicts that stablecoins will soar in adoption by 2025 and become a key tool for wholesale trading. He points out that by 2024, stablecoin usage will decouple from cryptocurrency trading, with over 1.1 billion transactions and settlement amounts reaching $8.5 trillion, more than twice the transaction volume of Visa. Palihapitiya believes that this growth will challenge the duopoly of Visa and Mastercard, especially as credit card rates rise. He also discussed regulatory issues, emphasizing that blockchain technology provides transparency and traceability for transactions. Last year, he predicted that Bitcoin would achieve mainstream adoption by 2024.

The investigation was launched in May 2018, when the Financial Intelligence Center (FIC) and the investigation team received information about suspicious transactions related to terrorism financing.

Subsequently, these Bitcoins were transferred to a wallet associated with an unnamed "independent" organization. The South African law enforcement department stated that preliminary investigations showed that these funds were transferred to provide weapons, economic assistance, and other projects to "participants" in another country. After determining the use of the funds, the South African law enforcement department conducted a raid on the suspect's residence on October 24th, and seized several items, including firearms that were not legally secured.
