Суд Лондона и Минфин решает судьбу 61 000 изъятых биткоинов

Власти Великобритании продолжают обсуждать, как можно распорядиться рекордными криптоактивами, которые были конфискованы по делу о международном мошенничестве. Согласно сведениям издания Financial Time, Высокий суд Лондона предлагает вернуть пострадавшим лишь 640 млн фунтов стерлингов (номинал первичных инвестиций).

При этом прибыль, накопленная в результате резкого роста стоимости биткоина, останется под контролем властей. Речь идет о 61 000 BTC, конфискованных в 2018 году. По нынешнему курсу данные активы оцениваются почти в $7,3 млрд.

Изъятая криптовалюта связанная с делом гражданки Китая Чжимин Цянь и ее помощника Сенг Хок Линга из Малайзии. По версии правоохранительных органов, в 2014 году субъекты организовали мошенническую схему, которая проработала до 2017 года. В результате пострадали не менее 128 тыс. человек. Согласно данным следствия, фигуранты перевели полученные от инвесторов активы в криптовалюты, после чего переехали в Великобританию.

Они попытались легализовать похищенные средства, приобретая разные объекты недвижимости в Лондоне, что привлекло внимание правоохранительных органов. В апреле 2024 года они были задержаны.

Внутри самого правительства Великобритании позиция относительно дальнейшей судьбы изъятых биткоинов пока неоднозначна. Часть чиновников высказала мнение, что накопленный профит от роста стоимости ведущей цифровой валюты мог бы быть использован для обслуживания государственного долга. Стоит отметить, что речь идет о почти $41 млрд. Также было немало законодателей, которые отметили, что подобные попытки приведут длительным судебным тяжбам, включая и международные иски. По мнению экспертов крипторынка, конечное решение Суда Лондона может сформировать резонансный прецедент.

Treasury Secretary's Move to Suppress Treasury Yields Ignites 'Currency Debasement Trade'! Gold Hits Three-Month High, Bitcoin Surges Over 25% in a Single Week

US Treasury Secretary Besant's efforts to lower long-term Treasury yields by announcing expanded buybacks had only a brief market impact. However, this move fueled a "currency devaluation trade," weakening the US dollar while boosting both gold (to a three-month high) and Bitcoin (up over 25% for the week). Analysts attribute this reaction to deepening market concerns over the massive US fiscal deficit and structural pressures keeping long-term rates elevated, including fierce competition for capital from global government borrowing and massive AI sector financing. Despite the Treasury's actions, fundamental forces like growth, inflation, and capital demand are seen as limiting its ability to sustainably suppress yields. Bitcoin's strong positive correlation with gold has reinforced its narrative as a hedge against devaluation. While equity markets have shown resilience, some strategists warn that Treasury yields nearing 5% increase pressure on the dollar and high-leverage assets. Figures like Ray Dalio have advised reducing bond exposure in favor of gold and some Bitcoin, citing US debt risks. Market opinions are divided on the sustainability of the devaluation trade, with some noting the lack of a near-term catalyst for its next leg higher. The underlying tension between the Treasury's desire for lower borrowing costs and the Federal Reserve's focus on inflation and reducing market intervention remains a key theme. Upcoming events like Nvidia's earnings and the Jackson Hole symposium will test whether AI profits can continue supporting stocks and if the Fed aligns more with Washington's preference for easier financial conditions.

Alexander Shokhin: Business Needs an Interest Rate Below 10% and the Dollar at 90-95 Rubles

Alexander Shokhin, head of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP), has advocated for potentially using "non-market" tools to keep the ruble within a target exchange rate corridor. This, he argues on August 21, would help avoid excessive volatility, though he called the topic a separate discussion. Shokhin had previously raised the idea of a currency corridor in late May, noting the ruble's current exchange rate is not fully market-driven due to a limited currency segment and reduced foreign currency demand. He stated that many business community colleagues propose fixing a corridor, even through non-market methods, to ensure predictability. The business community's key targets, as outlined by Shokhin in late December 2025, are a Central Bank key rate of 12%, inflation of 4–5%, and a US dollar exchange rate of 90–95 rubles by the end of 2026. A turning point for investment, he said, would be lowering the rate to 12% with 6% inflation, though truly comfortable business conditions would require a rate below 10%. He stressed the critical importance of currency predictability for corporate investment decisions. From a data analysis perspective, the idea of a ruble corridor is not new. A similar mechanism was used in Russia from 1995 to 1998, where the central bank held the dollar within fixed boundaries through regular interventions. This regime lasted three years before ending abruptly during the 1998 default, illustrating the fragility of rigid targets under external shocks. The macro-economic link is clear: stricter corridors require more reserves to defend against currency pressure. The key unresolved technical aspect is the specific sources and volume of such interventions given the current market's limited liquidity. Whether this discussion remains theoretical or leads to concrete corridor parameters will be seen in the coming months.
