Senate Investigators Checked 846 Sanctioned Iran Wallets. 84% of Them Ran on Tether
A 28-page report from Senate Democrats led by Richard Blumenthal says USDT has become Iran's primary crypto payment rail, used by 84% of 846 sanctioned Iran-linked wallets and 87% of 757 wallets tied to terror financing. It says Tether took nine months to freeze 34 wallets Israel had designated, and wants Treasury and the DOJ to investigate. Tether says it froze about $550 million in Iran-linked USDT this year alone.

BitMEX Invented the 100x Perpetual Swap, Beat a Criminal Case With a Presidential Pardon, Then Lost to the Product It Created. Leave Money There Now and It Costs You $50 a Month
BitMEX stopped trading on September 23 at 04:00 UTC, 11 years after launch. It invented the perpetual swap in 2016 and once handled about 57% of all crypto derivatives trading. Perps did $61.7 trillion in volume in 2025, and almost none of it went through BitMEX. The company says it never lost user funds to a hack, but it still owes something: the Celsius estate filed a $490 million lawsuit over 2020 liquidations eleven days before the shutdown. Here's what happened, what users need to do before the fees start, and what it means if you work in derivatives.

Circle Pays Binance Every Month to Push USDC. Now Binance Owns $100M of Circle, and the Filing Landed the Same Day the Sanctions Probe Leaked
Binance bought 1,237,011 Circle shares at $80.84 each in a private placement that closed September 17, two days after Manhattan prosecutors filed to seize Iranian oil money that ran through Binance accounts. Circle disclosed it on September 22, the same day Bloomberg reported Binance is under federal investigation for Iran sanctions violations. The deal comes with a new five-year agreement where Circle pays Binance a monthly fee based on USDC balances. Here is how the money moves in both directions, and what the 8-K says about getting out.

Last Week Manhattan Prosecutors Moved to Seize $61M of Iranian Oil Money That Ran Through Binance. This Week They're Investigating Binance
Bloomberg reports the Manhattan US Attorney's office, with DOJ's Criminal Division, is investigating whether Binance knowingly let trading that violated Iran sanctions continue on its platform. It lands seven days after the same office filed to forfeit $61 million in Iranian oil proceeds laundered through Binance accounts, and seven months after the Wall Street Journal reported Binance's own compliance team flagged $1.7 billion flowing from Chinese clients to Iran-linked wallets. Binance already pleaded guilty and paid $4.3 billion for this exact category of failure in 2023. Its founder was pardoned in October. Here is what a second case would mean.

The SEC Just Legalized Trading Apple Stock on Uniswap. The $3 Billion of Tokenized Stocks That Already Exist Don't Qualify.
Two days after the Senate killed the CLARITY Act, the SEC dropped a five-year 'innovation exemption' letting permissioned AMM pools trade real US stocks onchain with no exchange registration. The catch: tokens have to carry actual shareholder rights. Ondo, xStocks and Robinhood's stock tokens don't. An SEC spokesperson's verdict on the synthetics: 'They can remain out in the wilds.'
