On-Chain Data Analysis of Tudou Guarantee's Shutdown Event: A Chain-Based 'Black Industry Migration' Triggered by US Sanctions

On January 16, Tudou Guarantee announced the cessation of its services and the closure of all public groups. Beosin Trace conducted an on-chain data analysis of the incident, revealing that Tudou was a major black/grey market escrow platform on Telegram. After the shutdown of Huione Guarantee in May 2025, Tudou became its main successor, experiencing a significant increase in transaction volume. However, from December 2025, Tudou's deposit activities declined sharply, with almost no activity after January 10, 2026. A refund address saw a spike in outflows on January 11, aligning with the platform’s shutdown preparations. Many former Tudou merchants migrated to Xinbi Guarantee, which saw a surge in USDT deposits, averaging 2,700–2,800 transactions per day between January 8–16. These addresses have been flagged as high-risk by Beosin KYT. The shutdown is linked to increased U.S. sanctions targeting Southeast Asian cybercrime throughout 2025, including actions against entities in the Philippines, Cambodia, and Myanmar, which disrupted illegal operations and forced platforms like Huione and Tudou to cease operations.

Iran's Path to 'De-Dollarization': When Weapons Begin to Be Settled in Cryptocurrency

Iran's "De-Dollarization" Path: When Weapons Begin to Be Settled in Cryptocurrency Iran has officially integrated cryptocurrency into its national survival and foreign strategy, as evidenced by its defense export center Mindex accepting crypto, barter, or rial for military contracts as of January 2026. This move highlights crypto’s role as an "anti-sanction financial tool" in one of the most sanctioned and regulated sectors: arms trade. Driven by severe constraints—including a depreciating rial, severed international banking ties, and high-risk energy and weapon export channels—Iran has turned to crypto to meet economic targets. In 2025, parliamentary leaders emphasized that without crypto, Iran could not achieve its goal of a 10% digital economy share. Iran is now the world’s fourth-largest cryptocurrency mining hub, leveraging subsidized electricity. Stablecoins, especially USDT, have also become critical for liquidity—reportedly facilitating around $1.5 billion in transactions linked to entities like the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. During a nationwide internet blackout in January 2026, crypto demonstrated resilience through offline workarounds like satellite networks (Starlink, Blockstream), Bluetooth mesh systems (Bitchat), and SMS-based Bitcoin transfers (Machankura). Iran’s experience reflects a broader trend: nations like Russia and Venezuela are also using crypto to bypass sanctions, transforming it from a financial innovation into a strategic geopolitical tool for value transfer and access to global markets.

Mass Protests Fuel Iran’s Crypto Boom, Shattering $7.8 Billion Mark

Iran's on-chain cryptocurrency activity surged to $7.8 billion in 2025, largely driven by mass protests and economic instability. As the rial plummeted amid 40-50% inflation, citizens moved assets from banks to private crypto wallets for safekeeping. Bitcoin withdrawals spiked during brief internet windows amid government blackouts. Chainalysis data reveals that half of the crypto volume involved state-linked actors like the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, while civilians used crypto to preserve savings and bypass traditional finance. The surge reflects crypto's dual role: a shelter for households and a channel for institutional fund movements during unrest.

48 Hours to Transfer $1.5 Billion: How Did Iranian Elites Use Cryptocurrency to Bypass U.S. Sanctions?

Iran's leadership reportedly transferred $1.5 billion out of the country using cryptocurrency within 48 hours, including $328 million moved by the son of Supreme Leader Khamenei to Dubai, according to Israeli intelligence. This comes amid escalating U.S. sanctions, domestic protests, and severe economic crisis in Iran, with hyperinflation and currency collapse. Since 2018, Iran has systematically used crypto to evade international sanctions, leveraging energy resources for Bitcoin mining and operating through platforms like Nobitex. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) alone moved around $1 billion via UK-registered exchanges. The surge in crypto-based capital flight has coincided with significant price increases in privacy-focused cryptocurrencies like Monero and Dash. Cryptocurrency has become a key financial tool for Iran to bypass traditional banking restrictions amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.

Analyzing Iran’s crypto volumes in the face of recent geopolitical tensions

Amidst Iran's escalating geopolitical tensions and civil unrest, cryptocurrency activity has surged to a record $7.78 billion in 2025, as citizens turn to Bitcoin to hedge against the collapse of the Iranian rial. According to Chainalysis, large withdrawals of BTC to personal wallets increased significantly during protests, highlighting Bitcoin's role as a censorship-resistant asset for wealth preservation. While Iranians use crypto to escape economic crisis, the regime also leverages it, with the IRGC accounting for over 50% of crypto received. This dual dynamic underscores crypto's critical function in restricted economies.

What Russia’s Crypto Regulation Overhaul Means for Investors and Market Access

Russia is preparing a major overhaul of its cryptocurrency regulations, with a draft bill expected in the State Duma by spring 2026. The legislation, led by Financial Markets Committee chairman Anatoly Aksakov, aims to remove digital assets from "special financial regulation" and allow broader market access. Retail investors would be permitted to buy up to 300,000 rubles (approx. $3,800) in crypto, while qualified investors face no caps. The bill also includes potential risk-awareness tests for retail participants and maintains restrictions on privacy-focused coins. Additionally, it could enable cross-border crypto payments and recognize mining as an export activity, aligning with efforts to modernize Russia’s financial infrastructure amid ongoing sanctions.

Russia Prepares New Crypto Law Allowing Daily Use With Strict Retail Limits

Russia is preparing a new cryptocurrency law to integrate digital assets into everyday use, moving beyond limited trading and money transfers. Announced by State Duma official Anatoly Aksakov, the bill aims to regulate and control crypto due to economic pressures and sanctions. If passed, it would take effect by July 2026, removing crypto from special financial regulations and allowing normal use, including investing and regulated trading. Major exchanges are already preparing platforms. The law introduces a two-tier system: retail investors face strict limits, including trading only on licensed platforms, passing a risk test, and an annual cap of 300,000 rubles. Qualified investors have no annual cap but must avoid privacy coins and pass risk assessments. Despite central bank caution, sanctions have increased crypto's importance, with a 70-80% chance of the bill passing.

Tether Freezes $182 Million in One Day: Is USDT Still a Neutral Currency?

Tether, the issuer of USDT, froze approximately $182 million worth of USDT in a single day across five wallets on the Tron blockchain, marking one of its largest single-day enforcement actions. The frozen funds are widely suspected to belong to the Venezuelan government, potentially representing oil revenue, and the action is believed to have been conducted in coordination with U.S. authorities. This event has raised significant concerns about USDT’s role as a neutral financial tool, particularly in developing and sanctioned regions like Venezuela, where the stablecoin has become deeply embedded in the economy. Reports indicate that up to 80% of Venezuela’s oil revenue may be received in cryptocurrencies like USDT, creating a direct channel between its oil trade and the crypto economy. However, this incident demonstrates that Tether is willing to comply with law enforcement, even at the risk of undermining its reputation as a censorship-resistant alternative to traditional finance. The situation has drawn comparisons to the Euroclear moment, where frozen Russian assets sparked concerns about the safety of foreign-held euro-denominated assets. Similarly, Tether’s actions may lead international users to reconsider the perceived neutrality and safety of stablecoins. While Tether has maintained its peg so far, sustained outflows or loss of trust could pose existential risks to its offshore business model. The event underscores Tether’s growing role in global finance—and its vulnerability to geopolitical pressure.

‘Remains to be seen’ if U.S will seize Venezuela’s Bitcoin stash – SEC chair

SEC Chair Paul Atkins expressed uncertainty about whether the U.S. will seize Venezuela’s alleged $60 billion Bitcoin holdings, stating the matter is for other administration officials to address. The existence of such a stash remains unverified, with blockchain intelligence firm Arkham still assessing the claims. Meanwhile, data shows Venezuela ranked fourth in Latin America in crypto adoption, receiving $44.6 billion in crypto between mid-2024 and mid-2025, largely to bypass U.S. sanctions and counter hyperinflation. However, verified Venezuelan government holdings amount to only $22.6 million in BTC, raising doubts about the alleged $56 billion stash.

80% of Oil Revenue Settled in USDT, Stablecoin Becomes Venezuela's 'Second Dollar'

Summary: Venezuela's state oil company PDVSA now uses Tether's USDT stablecoin to settle approximately 80% of its oil export revenue, a strategic shift to circumvent U.S. sanctions. This move has cemented USDT's role as a "second dollar" in the country's economy. While it serves as a critical financial lifeline for citizens grappling with hyperinflation and the collapse of the bolivar, it also functions as a tool for the government to bypass traditional banking systems. The dual-use nature of stablecoins is highlighted: they provide essential stability for everyday transactions and remittances for the populace, yet simultaneously enable sanctioned entities to evade financial oversight. Despite the recent arrest of former President Nicolás Maduro, the pervasive use of USDT is expected to continue due to Venezuela's ongoing economic instability.
