US prosecutors request new trial for Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm

U.S. prosecutors are seeking a retrial for Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm on charges of money laundering conspiracy and sanctions violations after a previous jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict on those counts. Although Storm was convicted of operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business, the unresolved charges allow for a new trial. Prosecutors proposed a retrial as early as October, while Storm’s defense suggested availability no sooner than 2026. The case is closely watched in the crypto industry, as it could set a precedent for the legal liability of developers working on decentralized financial software and open-source protocols.

‘Disappointing’: U.S. DoJ seeks retrial of Tornado Cash founder

The U.S. Department of Justice is seeking a retrial of Tornado Cash founder Roman Storm on charges of money laundering and sanctions violations, a move that has drawn strong criticism from the crypto community. Storm was previously found guilty only of operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business. The DeFi community, including the DeFi Education Fund and Solana Policy Institute, expressed disappointment, arguing the case threatens legal protections for software developers. They point to a recent court ruling that exempted developers from liability on non-custodial platforms. Critics also accuse the DoJ of contradicting the U.S. Treasury's stance and undermining crypto innovation. Despite the negative news, Tornado Cash’s native token TORN saw a 4% price increase.

After Oil, Silicon Is the New Chip

This article argues that silicon, not oil, is becoming the key strategic resource in 21st-century geopolitics and warfare. It begins by analyzing the traditional role of oil, examining how energy supplies from Venezuela and Iran influence global conflicts and fund Russia's war efforts. The author suggests that controlling oil prices and supply routes could strategically weaken adversaries. The core argument, however, is a shift in focus. Advanced semiconductors and AI computing power are now the critical "chips" in global competition. The U.S. should treat cutting-edge AI technology as a controlled military asset. AI is already reshaping conflict through enhanced pattern recognition for target identification, battlefield simulation, and enabling precise, small-scale military operations with minimal collateral damage—a shift from overwhelming force to "sneakers on the ground." The author posits that this silicon-driven AI advantage could create a new form of deterrence. Just as mutual assured destruction (MAD) prevented nuclear war, widespread AI-powered war gaming could lead to "Strongly Assured Destruction" (SAD). By simulating certain defeat, potential aggressors might be deterred from starting conflicts, making negotiation more attractive. The conclusion is that control over silicon and AI may ultimately redefine the rules of power and peace.

Iran's New Supreme Leader's Shadow Business Empire: Oil, Real Estate, and Financial Undercurrents

Iran's Assembly of Experts appointed Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the assassinated Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, as the country's third Supreme Leader amid external threats and internal power struggles. Despite his low public profile and lack of elected or official roles, Mojtaba has long been a central figure in Iran’s power structure, acting as a key advisor and gatekeeper to his father. The U.S. and Israel have expressed strong opposition to his appointment, with former President Trump dismissing him as insignificant. However, Mojtaba has deep ties with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and played a role in suppressing the 2009 Green Movement protests. A Bloomberg investigation revealed Mojtaba’s hidden global business empire, allegedly funded by Iranian oil revenues and managed through intermediaries. His financial network includes real estate in London, Dubai, Frankfurt, and Mallorca, as well as cryptocurrency transactions. Iranian businessman Ali Ansari is identified as a key figure holding assets on his behalf, though Ansari faces international sanctions for corruption and ties to the IRGC. Mojtaba’s succession has sparked domestic criticism over concerns of hereditary rule and his lack of religious credentials. President Masoud Pezeshkian’s temporary enhanced powers have done little to stabilize the situation, as the IRGC remains influential in shaping leadership decisions. Iran now faces intensified internal divisions and external pressures under its new leader.

North Korea steals $2.8B in 2 years – Here’s what U.S. Treasury wants to do

The U.S. Treasury is intensifying efforts to combat illicit financial activities involving digital assets, as highlighted in a report under the GENIUS Act. The study identifies significant risks, particularly with stablecoins, which accounted for 84% of illicit crypto transactions in 2025. The Treasury recommends enhanced monitoring using AI and real-time blockchain analytics, and proposes treating major stablecoin issuers like regulated financial institutions. The report also underscores growing threats from state-backed actors, notably North Korea, which stole an estimated $2.8 billion in crypto over two years to fund weapons programs. These findings support legislative push for acts like the CLARITY Act to establish clearer regulatory frameworks for digital assets.

Dubai’s regulator warns MEXC, KuCoin to cease ‘unlicensed’ crypto activity

Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) has issued cease and desist orders to crypto exchanges MEXC and KuCoin for operating without a license in the region. The regulator warned investors that engaging with these unlicensed platforms poses financial and legal risks. This crackdown occurs amid heightened regional tensions, particularly concerning Iran, where crypto activity surged by 700% as the regime uses digital assets to bypass U.S. sanctions. The UAE, the second-largest crypto market in the MENA region, is intensifying scrutiny of unlicensed exchanges, partly due to Western pressure to prevent illicit capital flows.

Sanctioned entities moved $104B through crypto in 2025: Report

Sanctioned entities moved approximately $104 billion through cryptocurrency in 2025, accounting for about two-thirds of the $154 billion in total illicit crypto activity that year, according to a Chainalysis report. Sanctions-related crypto activity surged 694% year-over-year, driven by entities linked to Russia, Iran, and North Korea. Stablecoins dominated illicit flows, representing 84% of transaction volume. Despite record figures, illicit activity remains below 1% of total global cryptocurrency transactions. The report also notes increased sophistication among criminal networks using cross-chain swaps and laundering services to obscure funds.
