5 Bottles of Water Equal a Day's Wage, No Creases Allowed on US Dollars: What's Causing Myanmar's Financial Anomalies?

The article "War-Torn Myanmar: The Dignity of the Dollar, Trapped Youth, and the Underground Financial Market" details the severe economic and social conditions in Myanmar based on a two-week field study in 2026. Key observations include a massive black market exchange rate disparity (official 1:300 vs. black market 1:550 for USD to Myanmar Kyat), extreme wage gaps (e.g., servers earning as little as ¥300 monthly vs. ¥8000 in Shanghai), and rampant inflation where prices have surged 5x in a decade while wages only doubled. Basic goods like water are unaffordable for many; five bottles cost a day's wage. The financial system is fragile, with USD notes requiring perfect condition for acceptance, while the local currency is treated with far less care. Child labor is widespread, with children as young as nine working long hours for meager pay. Young adults are effectively trapped, as the government restricts passport issuance for those aged 18-60, making legal emigration nearly impossible. Illegal routes, such as human trafficking or dangerous border crossings, are often the only alternatives. The report concludes that ordinary citizens, burdened by survival and the constant threat of conscription, have no capacity to pursue happiness, encapsulating a life of relentless hardship.

Binance Faces US Senate Inquiry Tied To $1.7 Billion In Sanctions-Related Transactions

Binance is under formal inquiry by US Senator Richard Blumenthal over allegations it enabled $1.7 billion in sanctions-related transactions involving Iran. The Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations is demanding records related to potential money laundering, dealings with sanctioned entities, and compliance practices. Internal reviews reportedly identified around 2,000 Iranian-linked accounts and transactions tied to terrorist groups and Russian oil evasion schemes. Binance denies the allegations, stating it found no evidence of sanctions violations and highlighting improved compliance measures and reduced exposure since 2023.

Dollar stablecoin for Gaza? Trump advisers’ proposal draws scrutiny

Advisers linked to Donald Trump’s Board of Peace are exploring a dollar-pegged stablecoin for Gaza to facilitate aid, salaries, and commerce amid the territory's damaged banking infrastructure. The proposal, still in early stages, was presented by an Israeli tech entrepreneur and would function as a supplementary payment rail—traceable and compliant with U.S. regulations. Proponents argue it offers a practical solution for fast, low-cost payments in a cash-scarce environment. However, it would deepen Gaza’s structural reliance on the U.S. dollar and expose the economy to potential sanctions or enforcement risks. The idea reflects the growing role of stablecoins in geopolitical and reconstruction debates, even as it remains unclear whether it will advance formally.

Binance Says Sanctions Exposure Fell 97% Since 2024

Binance claims it has significantly reduced exposure to sanctioned entities and high-risk jurisdictions, particularly Iran, since January 2024. In a recent blog post, the exchange stated that its sanctions-related exposure as a percentage of total volume has dropped by approximately 97% to around 0.009%. This follows a Fortune report alleging Binance fired investigators who uncovered evidence of Iranian sanctions violations. Binance denied these claims, calling them "categorically false," and clarified that the employees in question were dismissed for violating internal data-protection policies, not for compliance-related reasons. The exchange emphasized its strong commitment to compliance, noting that 25% of its global workforce is dedicated to compliance functions and that it has invested hundreds of millions in related programs.

Venezuela, Sanctioned and Kicked Out of the Dollar System by the U.S., Turns to USDT

Venezuela, heavily sanctioned by the US and cut off from the dollar system, has turned to USDT (Tether) to manage a significant portion of its national revenue, particularly from oil sales. An estimated 80% of the country's oil transactions are now conducted using the stablecoin. This shift was not a voluntary adoption of cryptocurrency but a necessity due to the inability to legally transact in USD. The Venezuelan government, which once banned stablecoins, now facilitates their use for both corporate and retail payments, including salaries and groceries. However, the use of cryptocurrencies like USDT remains limited in large-scale illicit activities, such as drug trafficking, where traditional cash-based and trade-based money laundering methods still dominate. US authorities have not emphasized crypto in recent indictments, suggesting that digital assets may not yet be practical for moving very large sums illicitly. Nonetheless, Venezuela’s embrace of a digital dollar sets a precedent for other nations under sanctions and may paradoxically reinforce the global dominance of the dollar.

Stablecoin Crime Wave? $141B In Illicit Activity Reported This Year

In 2025, approximately $141 billion in stablecoins was reportedly acquired by illicit actors, largely due to their predictable value and fast transaction speeds. Sanctions-related networks accounted for about 86% of these illicit flows, with $72 billion tied to a Russian ruble-pegged token. These networks also showed connections to China, Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela. Stablecoins were heavily used in guarantee marketplaces and human trafficking operations, where payment certainty and liquidity were prioritized. While scams and ransomware often start in Bitcoin or Ether, funds are frequently converted to stablecoins during laundering. The stablecoin market capitalization exceeded $270 billion in early 2026, dominated by Tether’s USDT ($180B) and Circle’s USDC ($70B), which together control over 90% of the market.

Russia May Block Global Crypto Exchanges Ahead Of New Regulatory Framework – Report

Russia is preparing to restrict access to global cryptocurrency exchanges by summer 2026 as part of a new domestic regulatory framework, according to industry experts. The move aims to shift trading activity from foreign platforms to Russian-based services. Analysts suggest that authorities may block overseas exchanges using methods similar to previous restrictions on platforms like Telegram and YouTube. However, experts warn that such measures could drive part of the market underground, increasing fraud and complicating regulation. Meanwhile, the European Union is considering broader sanctions on all Russia-related crypto transactions to prevent sanctions evasion, including a potential ban on digital ruble transactions.

Binance Refutes Claims Of Regulatory Missteps And Staff Dismissals

Binance is facing allegations from Fortune and Financial Times that over $1 billion in transfers linked to Iranian entities moved through its exchange between 2024 and 2025, and that internal investigators who documented these flows were later dismissed. The exchange strongly denied the claims, with CEO Richard Teng stating that an internal review found no sanctions violations and no staff were fired for raising compliance concerns. He emphasized that none of the involved wallets were sanctioned at the time of the transactions. The reports add to existing scrutiny on Binance, which previously settled with U.S. authorities for $4.3 billion in 2023. The situation highlights ongoing regulatory pressures on major crypto firms.

Binance denies $1B Iran-linked claims: ‘No sanctions violations were found’

Binance has strongly denied a Fortune report alleging it fired internal investigators who raised concerns over $1 billion in Iran-linked transactions processed through the Tron blockchain. The exchange claims no sanctions violations were found and stated the employees were dismissed for violating internal policies, such as unauthorized data access, rather than for raising concerns. Co-CEO Richard Teng and the crypto community defended Binance, calling the report "paid FUD" from disgruntled former staff. The allegations come as Binance seeks to rebuild its reputation following a recent $4.3 billion settlement with U.S. authorities. Meanwhile, BNB's price declined amid the ongoing market uncertainty.

$129B Crypto Maze: Russian Authorities Lose Sight Of Massive Annual Flows

Russian authorities report that the country's crypto market is far larger than previously estimated, with daily turnover reaching around 50 billion rubles—totaling over 10 trillion rubles (approximately $129 billion) annually. Much of this activity occurs outside formal oversight, creating a significant regulatory blind spot. Deputy Finance Minister Ivan Chebeskov and central bank officials acknowledge the urgent need for clearer regulations to monitor these massive flows. The central bank, once supportive of a ban, now proposes a licensing system with limits—capping non-qualified investors at 300,000 rubles annually and banning privacy coins. The goal is also to prevent crypto from being used to evade sanctions. Regulators aim to bring crypto into supervised systems, but it remains uncertain whether new rules will increase transparency or push activity further underground.
