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).

Zhao pleaded guilty to laundering money for upstanding groups like terrorists and sellers of child pornography just a few years ago.

Kryptowährung: Stablecoins: Die neue Waffe der USA gegen Europa?
Stablecoins übernehmen – und Europa schaut zu?

US-Dollar-Stablecoins wie USDC und USDT erobern den globalen Zahlungsverkehr – effizient, schnell, aber auch geopolitisch brisant.
Während die USA mit voller Kraft vorangehen, warnt die EZB: Europa droht den digitalen Währungswettlauf zu verlieren.

In diesem Video erklären wir:
- Warum Stablecoins unser Finanzsystem verändern
- Welche Strategie die USA verfolgen
- Wie sich Europa positionieren muss – und was jetzt auf dem Spiel steht

the arrest of #JeffreyEpstein did amazing things for #stablecoins... average daily on chain volume basically permanently doubled overnight.

this isn’t conclusive but… if we were living in a world where epstein’s arrest suddenly deprived the world of a major money launderer whose customers suddenly found themselves in need of a new provider, and then the provider they chose was #Tether, this is what one would expect the chart to look like…

(also 6 days after #epstein was arrested there was a weird $5 billion issuance of new Tether #USDT tokens followed immediately by a $4.5 billion burn/redemption transaction. I assume that was a fat finger originally intended to mint only $500 million so i stripped it out of the chart… but i will at least note that someone went to issue $5 billion in stablecoins 6 days after epstein’s arrest. i can post that chart if anyone's curious)
