EU sanctions on cryptocurrency transactions may become ineffective because of the sheer volume of transactions with Russian users.
As risks become diluted on a large scale, foreign platforms will be forced either to loosen controls or accept that activity will shift to P2P platforms, DEXs, and stablecoins.
The statement came amid new EU sanctions banning local companies from providing wallet, gateway, and API services to Russian legal entities and sanctioned entities. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq is already down 8% from its all-time high.

As my psychiatrist says: being alone is normal; the problem is when there are two of you.
I think traders’ days go by much the same as those of today’s entrepreneurs 🙃

The Producer Price Index rose 6.3% year over year, while analysts had expected growth of just 5.5%. Month over month, the index jumped 1.3%, compared with expectations of 0.6%. The previous day, consumer inflation data also came in above forecasts.
This sends a clear signal to the market: inflation remains high, which means the Fed has less room to cut rates. For cryptocurrencies and other risk assets, this is more of a negative factor. Market pressure may persist in the short term, so be prepared to buy the dips.
The latest data merely confirms what I wrote in today’s review.

The Bank of Russia uncovered evidence of market manipulation by Vadim Solomakhin, CEO of the investment company Kinetic Capital. In the first quarter, he traded shares in Sberbank and Surgutneftegas, as well as federal loan bonds and other instruments.
The scheme worked as follows: Solomakhin bought or sold assets at market prices, then placed opposing orders in his personal account. Using his access to the company’s brokerage account, he executed those trades, pushing the price to a level that benefited him. As a result of more than 120 such transactions, the company incurred losses, while Solomakhin personally profited.
Following its investigation, the regulator ordered him to stop such violations, blocked transactions on his accounts, and referred the relevant materials to law enforcement authorities.

A very useful video!
I recommend that everyone watch it and save it to their bookmarks. It’s a detailed guide on how to correctly fill out the application and what you need to apply for a U.S. green card.
Especially given the wars and the current political situation in our countries across the post-Soviet space.

France is discussing the introduction of a 31.4% tax on cryptocurrency-to-stablecoin exchanges. The measure could take effect on January 1, 2027. Parliament is currently considering the relevant amendments, which would treat exchanging crypto for stablecoins as an asset sale that realizes a profit.
A week earlier, crypto platforms in Europe were given three months to stop supporting stablecoins, including USDT.

Oil prices fell amid reports of a possible deal on Iran. According to Channel 12, a proposal put forward by Pakistan’s army chief to Iranian officials has already been approved by the US and tentatively agreed to by Iran.
The agreement would involve a partial unfreezing of Iranian funds: interest on the $6 billion held in Qatari banks is expected to be transferred to Iran.

VTB said that Russians most often set up fraud protection for their elderly parents—these cases account for half of all activations of the “Second Hand” service. Women usually set up the service for their children, while men do so for their parents and wives.
The service allows a trusted person to approve or block suspicious transfers. However, they do not have access to the account itself or the right to manage the funds independently.

Volkswagen plans to freeze employee salaries until 2030, which, taking inflation into account, could lead to an effective reduction in workers’ incomes of around 10%.
The move is driven by the need to cut costs amid U.S. tariffs, falling sales in the Chinese market, and difficulties at subsidiaries Audi and Porsche. Back in 2024, 130,000 company employees had already agreed to temporarily forgo pay raises. The possibility of cutting tens of thousands of jobs is now being discussed, along with closing four plants in Germany—in Emden, Hanover, Zwickau, and Neckarsulm.
Volkswagen’s works council said management was trying to impose a multi-year decline in employees’ real incomes. In response, the IG Metall union is demanding a 5% pay raise. Strikes cannot be ruled out in November in Germany’s metalworking industry and at Volkswagen plants.

The total value of real-world assets worldwide is estimated at $742 trillion, but only 0.005% of that amount has been moved onto the blockchain.

Bonds are valued at $161 trillion, with $13.8 billion in tokenized form. Equities are worth $158 trillion, with $3.9 billion tokenized. Gold is worth $29 trillion, of which $8.1 billion has been converted into tokens. Private credit totals $2 trillion, with $6.4 billion already tokenized.
As you can see, the tokenization of real-world assets is still in its very early stages.

Why did Russian bank cards stop working abroad?
In March 2022, Visa and Mastercard suspended their operations in Russia. Since then, Russian bank cards have stopped working abroad, while foreign cards from these networks no longer work in Russia.
Mir cards are also accepted in very few places. Due to sanctions, many foreign banks have stopped servicing them.
As a result, Russians have run into problems paying for hotels, shopping, subscriptions, and everyday travel.
But there is a solution: cards from foreign banks and international virtual cards that you can apply for remotely. Watch the video to the end.

Russia’s banking system risks being paralyzed as early as October 15 due to actions by major telecom operators. The National Council of the Financial Market has appealed to the Central Bank and the Ministry of Digital Development, stating that the “Big Four” operators’ threats to cut off communications to fintech companies are illegal. Lawyers are unanimous: the Communications Law does not give operators the right to block calls simply because a customer has refused to pay for the imposed commercial service of call labeling. The banking community warns that if this ultimatum is carried out, customers can expect widespread service disruptions.

In Russia, a proposal has been made to allow pawnshops to accept cryptocurrency. One of the market’s major players has already sent the initiative to the Central Bank. Under the proposed arrangement, clients would be able to take out loans secured by cryptocurrency without parting with their coins, betting that their value will rise. If the loan is not repaid by the deadline, the digital assets would be sold immediately to cover the debt.
The Central Bank, acting as regulator, explained that current legislation does not allow pawnshop businesses to combine their operations with digital currency exchange services or the functions of a digital depository. At the same time, banks are already issuing loans secured by cryptocurrency assets on a trial basis.

How can you lower the standards of female beauty after something like that? We literally grew up watching the Victoria’s Secret shows.
I’m sure you and your significant other couldn’t tear yourselves away from watching last night either. It made us want to be in Los Angeles for the event—it was definitely worth it.
