Unbelievable. People are worried about #Altcoin season. The other day I watched a movie with Kirsten Dunst - Civil War. I thought it was quite well done but said to myself “Please let this be and stay #ScienceFiction “. Now look at today’s #reuters headline:

As reported by Reuters, Tron has become the most popular blockchain for terrorists to transfer USDT due to its high speed and low fees. According to the publication, from July 2021 to October 2023, the Israeli authorities froze 143 wallets associated with terrorist organizations on the Tron network. Almost two-thirds of them - 87 - belonged to Lebanon's Hezbollah and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a Hamas ally. Groups identified as terrorist organizations choose the Tron network because it is faster and cheaper than the Bitcoin network. "It used to be Bitcoin, but now our data shows that terrorist organizations are increasingly favoring Tron," said Mriganka Pattnaik, CEO of New York-based blockchain research firm Merkle Science. A Tron representative explained that all technologies "could theoretically be used for dubious activity." He gave the example of US dollars, which are used for money laundering. More than ten people whose funds were frozen told Reuters they used Tron. However, they said they used the network for their business and denied any connection to Hamas or Islamic Jihad. The day before, Elliptic analysts reported that the use of cryptocurrency to finance terrorists is extremely small — the Hamas movement has received no more than $21,000 since October 7, and most of the cryptocurrency has been blocked. It recently became known that the Wirex crypto-fiat transfer system has a black market of verified accounts that can be used to launder money in the Russian Federation.

China's Quiet Sale of Bitcoin: A Surprising Move Amid Crypto Ban and Budget Crisis
While the global cryptocurrency market continues to grow and some countries like the US are starting to integrate crypto into their economic strategies, China is following a contradictory path: banning domestic crypto transactions while quietly selling Bitcoin to patch the public budget.
Selling Bitcoin quietly: A stopgap solution amid the economic crisis
Since 2019, China has officially banned all domestic crypto trading activities. However, according to #Reuters , local governments are currently authorizing private companies to sell seized Bitcoin in the international market. This action is primarily aimed at addressing the public budget deficit caused by the slowing economic growth.

How sanctions are propping up Bitcoin’s price
Russia and other countries’ attempts to dodge sanctions will pump the value of Bitcoin, according to VanEck.
The investment management firm’s analysts Matthew Sigel, Patrick Bush and Nathan Frankovitz made that argument in a Monday note.
“Countries like Russia and Venezuela have already acknowledged BTC’s developing role in international trade,” they wrote.
“We believe that many nations will transition some international trade to BTC as a result of Western nations’ overuse of sanctions, the desire to hedge away dollar risk, and the lack of trustworthy alternative currencies.”
The argument came as US President Donald Trump’s tariffs on some 90 countries have shaved some 20%, or $800 billion, of the global cryptocurrency market since January.
The drop also coincided with a 93% decline in memecoin trading between January and March, VanEck wrote.
Other risk-on assets, such as equities, have also been caught in the downturn. The S&P 500 index is down about 6.6% since Trump took office.
Russia uses cryptocurrencies to trade oil with China and India, Reuters reported in March. Russia is under sweeping sanctions by the US and the EU, focused on Russian energy production but also including crypto exchanges.
Last year, Venezuela’s state-run oil company planned to ramp up its own use of crypto to circumvent US sanctions, per Reuters.
Decoupling
Bitcoin briefly decoupled from broader risk assets in April. While that decoupling proved short-lived, VanEck argued that it is a taste of what’s to come as the cryptocurrency moves towards becoming a safe haven asset.
BlackRock, one of the world’s largest asset managers with $11.5 trillion in assets under management, sees Bitcoin similarly.
“We think of it primarily as an emerging global monetary alternative,” said Robbie Mitchnick, head of digital assets at BlackRock, last fall. “It is a scarce, global, decentralised, non-sovereign asset. It is an asset which has no country-specific risk, which has no traditional counterparty risk.
